Rosa Mexicano's Downtown Outpost

E5451rosa 152
The new David Rockwell-designed, 10,000-square-foot Union Square location of Rosa Mexicano opened in late October in the 18th Street space that once housed the restaurant America. The 225-seat space features an illuminated blue tiled waterfall wall decorated with diving figures (like the Lincoln Center
outpost
), Mexican-influenced textiles, and warm terracotta-colored walls. The venue has a 50-seat elevated bar and lounge area and a 150-seat glass-enclosed private dining room. —Anna Sekula
