About the restaurant
A clandestine fine dining restaurant serving Chinese-inspired dishes that marry the innovation of Jean-Georges with flavors of the East, tucked away for a feeling of discovery. New York’s best kept secret, with intricate gold wallpaper and blue velvet banquettes.

Is there any reason to eat Chinese food at the Seaport when Chinatown is a 10-minute walk away? YES! The elegant, upscale, friendly experience is matched by the excellent food. Perfectly balanced flavors, well-chosen spices, surprising desserts are all served in a cozy room with a hip (but not too hip) vibe.

About the restaurant
From the founders of Employees Only, we welcome you to Macao Trading Company.

Please Join Us...Our task, which we take great pleasure in, is to transport you...leave your inhibitions at the door.

Macao Trading Co. takes its inspiration from the brothels and opium dens of old 1930's Macao...an exotic time-out-of-time place...mysterious, adventurous, decadent.

Whether an intimate dinner, large party, or late night dining, take advantage of our signature Eurasian cuisine: a sumptuous blend of Chinese and Portuguese influences.

Located on Church St, at the edge of Tribeca, Macao’s décor is a dramatic composition of lighting, relics, and industrial iron work. The high ceilings and tucked away location provide a fit setting for the restaurant’s 1940's portside warehouse feel, recalling the adventure of Macao’s "red lantern district."

"Macao, a fugitive's haven from which there's no turning back..."
- Macao, 1952

We invited our friends who had never been to Hutong before. We were six, seated at a u-shaped table the hostess suggested would be comfortable, and it was. We ordered appetizers, that were excellent, the duck, and the delicious dessert assortment, which was brought in a beautiful presentation. All of our guests raved about the experience. Bakir, one of our servers, is just excellent, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. We had a great time!

About the restaurant
Calle Dão is designed to pay homage to Havana's once-thriving El Barrio Chino (Chinatown). Known as the largest such community in Latin America, El Barrio Chino occupied 44 square blocks of real estate in the late 1870s. As the Cuban and Chinese cultures mixed, a unique fusion of cuisine emerged. Today, El Barrio Chino occupies a small section of the narrow Calle Cuchillo - Knife Street - from which Calle Dão takes its name. The cuisine, cocktails, and décor of Calle Dão strive to transport our guests back to El Barrio Chino when it was at the height of its existence. Calle Dão has created mouthwatering dishes seamlessly blending Cuban staples with Asian flavors. The cocktails, created by Mixologist Joy Daniel, also meld the old world with the new using historical names for libations with modern ingredients. 1857 is a bold sip of orange-infused vodka, amaretto, fresh lime juice, ground ginger, and sesame oil garnished with star anise. It commemorates the year the first ship carrying Chinese laborers arrived in Cuba. Calle Dáo's décor, the creation of its owner Marco Britti (Favela Cubana), is reminiscent of a sultry, old-world Havana restaurant with white-washed walls, distressed wood, and whirring ceiling fans. Chinese artwork, spices, and bright colors provide the accents. Step into a bygone era and enjoy a modern dining experience at Calle Dão.

This is a nice small place between Bryant Park and Times square. The menu has some light meal options for before or after show snacks. We had the brisket sandwich with a side of sauted cauliflower and cashews. Both were tasty and satisfying. Dining furniture could be more comfortable.
