Created by its namesake Randy Paragary, the late statesman of the city’s drinking and dining scene who passed away in 2021, this midtown restaurant is a chic Napa-esque bistro with tall ceilings and a wall of folding glass doors. The California-French menu dishes up sophisticated and flavorful plates, like grilled Mishima Wagyu bavette steak with seasonal accoutrements like trumpet mushrooms and farro verde. The satisfying brunch list features belly-fillers like a buttermilk biscuit Benedict with smoked ham. And don’t miss the expertly blended craft cocktails like the Paragary’s ’83 with peach gin, sparkling wine, black tea and lemon.
