The restaurant on the 101st floor of 30 Hudson Yards will reopen for indoor dining on October 6. Peak, which first opened to the public in March and then closed later that month because of the coronavirus pandemic, has again started taking reservations for its massive 10,000-square-foot dining room, which sits one floor above Edge, the 1,100-foot-high outdoor sky deck. The restaurant said it will not take any parties larger than 10 guests and will not accept cash payments.
David Rockwell’s Rockwell Group designed the restaurant, which includes a 110-seat dining room, 45-seat cocktail bar, and private event space that can hold 300 people, in non-COVID times.
New York City restaurants can reopen for indoor dining on September 30 at 25 percent capacity. State regulations require restaurants to take the temperature of all guests, set tables up six feet apart, and close at midnight. Face coverings will be required for all diners when not seated at a table.

Peak released a 12-point “commitment to safety” list of protocols they will take to ensure the safety of staff and diners. Safety measures include limiting capacity in the elevators, conducting staff health checks, digital menus, daily sanitizing, and a reconfigured dining room.
Run by hospitality group RHC, the American division of the UK-based company rhubarb, Peak will serve dishes organized by “land, sea, and garden.” Executive Chef Chris Cryer, formerly the chef at Seamore’s, has created a menu focused on sustainability, influenced by his relationships with local fishermen and farmers, as 6sqft previously reported.
