Now in its 3rd generation of family operation, the concept started with Francisco's dream of creating a warm inviting atmosphere to showcase his inspired specialties. His signature dishes bring in loyal fans from small children to top celebrities!

​Sumptuous seafood is the focus of this delectable lobster-centric cuisine. With a broad menu, including prime steaks and poultry, every entree includes a salad and fresh vegetables. Guests rave that Francisco's Paella reminds them of dining in Spain!

Park Ave Armory: Philippe Parreno, June 11- Aug 2

In the past two decades, Philippe Parreno has almost single-handedly reshaped the very notion of what it means to experience art by turning the dynamics of a show into an evolving, situational process, exploring its possibilities as a singular, coherent object rather than as a collection of individual works.

In his largest installation in the U.S. to date, Parreno continues his interrogations into the radical redefinition of the exhibition ritual at the Armory, in one of the few spaces in the world in which such an epic experience could occur. Within the monumental interior of the Wade Thompson Drill Hall, he will construct a scripted space where a series of events fold and unfold onto the space itself, creating an architecture of attention on a scale of operatic proportions. This dramatic composition fuses the spectral presence of sound—both recorded and performed live — with film, light, collaborations, apparitions, and memory to guide and manipulate the viewer’s experience and perception. This sensory journey through both remastered existing works and new projects reveals strata that while present, were previously invisible, and metamorphoses the building into a quasi-living, perpetually evolving organism.
