For large groups, renowned chef Susur Lee opened
Luckee, a restaurant in the chic SoHo Metropolitan Hotel, in April. The all-day dim sum spot is a vast 2,600 square feet, including 600 square feet in the bar area and 2,000 square feet in the restaurant, that seats 120. Designed by Bent and Gable, the space subtly blends accents of imperial red and wall-to-wall panels of dynastic architecture with a nod to 20th-century Chinoiserie. A private dining room seats 18 guests.
