Ed'S Chowder House

With the intention of “bringing Montauk to the heart of Manhattan,” Ed's Chowder House, located in the historic Empire Hotel, delivers the bounty of the Eastern shoreline to the Upper West Side. Collaborating Chef Ed Brown (chef/owner of Michelin Star-rated restaurant eighty-one and author of the Modern Seafood Cook) serves up his refined yet unpretentious take on regional seafood favorites in a breezy, casual atmosphere.Cuisine Alongside the namesake variety of hot and savory chowders, including Sweet Corn, New England-style Clam, Manhattan-style Blue Crab and the signature Ed’s Loaded Shellfish Chowder, the menu offers a wide variety of options ranging from elegantly composed favorites like Scallop Ravioli with white wine sauce and herbs or Peppered Tuna Steak Frites with herb butter to simply grilled selections of seafood, steaks and chops.
