A brand-new restaurant just opened in New York's former power-lunching mecca - here's what it looks like inside

For more than 50 years, 99 East 52nd Street in Manhattan was home to the famed Four Seasons restaurant. During that time, its power lunches drew a clientele that included the likes of Henry Kissinger, Martha Stewart, and Michael Bloomberg, as well as plenty of bold-face names in the art world and finance industry.

Since the Four Seasons closed in July 2016, new residents have moved into the landmarked space. Major Food Group, which also operates the restaurants Carbone, ZZ's Clam Bar, Parm, Sadelle's, and Santina, is behind three new restaurants there; the first, called The Grill, opened in May, while the second, called The Pool, opened earlier in July.

"It was an incredible opportunity and responsibility that we do not take lightly," partner Jeff Zalaznick told Business Insider of the move into the iconic space. Zalaznick owns Major Food Group with Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi.

The Pool is a nod to the former Four Seasons' "pool room," which had a gurgling fountain that still remains in the center of The Pool's dining room. The Pool has a seafood-centric menu, and the lounge and bar serve decidedly simple cocktails.
