Headliner

Electric Lemon

A number of the restaurants at Hudson Yards have views of the river, but none offer the sweep of this new 24th-floor terraced dining room. It’s part of the flagship restaurant in the new Equinox Hotel. Despite its name, which seems to nod to psychedelic, acid-dropping counterculture , it’s part of a clean-living fitness organization and has a fresh, local approach to food. The chef, Kyle Knall, a native of Birmingham, Ala., worked at Gramercy Tavern and the now-closed Maysville. With Sean Joseph, a partner in Maysville, he also opened Kenton’s in New Orleans, which closed last year. Now Mr. Knall is with Starr Restaurants, which runs food and drink service for the Equinox . Hay-roasted oysters, beef tartare, black bass with a salsa verde, roasted trout with “green things from the garden,” and grilled and braised lamb with roasted eggplant, cumin and sumac, are some of the dishes to be savored at tables in the sleek dining room or on the expansive terrace. (Opens Thursday)
