New York is newly in bloom, and one Manhattan restaurant is following suit.
In honor of the Macy's annual Flower Show, Stella 34 Trattoria, the sixth-floor restaurant atop Macy's Herald Square flagship, is offering a floral prix-fixe menu to celebrate the blooms.

The antipasti course starts with plates like duck rillettes in elderflower reduction, black olive bagna cuda with garden-fresh ingredients, and burrata with hazelnut dukkah. Main course options include a verdant spring pea risotto with pecorino, nasturtium, largo, and aged balsamic; pollo involtini with sun-dried tomatoes, Alfonso olives, pine nuts, and spinach and a seasonal primavera pizza, Neapolitan style with lamb sausage, peas, spring onions, asparagus, pecorino, fresh mozzarella, and a mint pesto sauce. For dessert, choose between panna cotta or tiramisu.
Special floral cocktails can also be added to the menu for $15. The Feeling Floral is a fresh combination of Botanist gin, elderflower, blood orange, lemon, and tonic. And La Vie En Rose is made with rosé, elderflower, rose water, Chambord, and rose petals.
