A*ves

A*ves is a high-end Chinese restaurant located on the UWS of Manhattan. Inspired by the peacock—a symbol of beauty, grace, and luxury in Chinese culture—A*ves delivers an extraordinary dining experience that artfully blends tradition with innovation. The restaurant’s name, meaning “birds,” reflects this deep cultural connection. You can expect a menu that reimagines classic Chinese cuisine with modern flair (that’s my half-eaten Pineapple Fried Rice below). Aves is praised for its delicious food, creative cocktails, and attentive service, making it a standout destination. Located at 102 W. 86th Street (between Columbus & Amsterdam Ave.) 212.871.7102 https://avesnyc.com/
