New Yorkers no longer have to travel to Colorado to catch the mountain chic of an Aspen ski lodge now that Aspen, a forty-two-hundred-square foot restaurant and lounge has opened its doors. Owner Greg Brier (Groovejet, Jet East), designer Steve Lewis of SLDesigns (Marquee, Butter) and celebrated chef Ricardo Hernandez (Plate, Soho Cantina) have collaborated to transform part of the Flatiron district into a retro wonderland complete with a fireplace during the winter and with a babbling brook centerpiece during the summer months.

Aspen's Modern American menu with a Western twist offers small plates, ideal for sharing, and served until four a.m. Lewis’ décor, including aspen birch and original barn wood details combined with modern elements such as Lucite deer heads and porcelain antler fixtures, is perfect for dining and private events with its chic ambiance, beautiful clientele and attentive service.

Aspen boasts a private dining space called the Gonzo Room in homage of former Aspen resident and literary mad genius, Hunter S. Thompson. The Gonzo Room seats sixteen for dinner or thirty for cocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres, and offers a private entrance and fully staffed bar.
