Get ready, Cork food lovers! The Cork International Hotel is marking a special milestone—10 amazing years of the New Yorker Bar and Restaurant. To celebrate, they’re pulling out all the stops with a one-of-a-kind New York-inspired evening on Friday, October 4th, 2024. If you’ve ever wanted a taste of the Big Apple right here in Cork, this is your chance!

New York Flavours on a Cork Plate

From 5 pm, you can dive into a menu that blends local produce with New York flair, thoughtfully created by the talented chefs at the New Yorker. Expect to see a refreshed take on some of the city’s most iconic dishes, including the legendary Waldorf Salad. First crafted in the late 1800s at New York’s Waldorf Hotel, this version brings in a little taste of Cork with smoked Gubbeen cheese.

Love pasta? You can’t miss the Rigatoni alla Vodka, inspired by the famous spicy rigatoni served at Carbone, one of New York’s hottest restaurants. It’s a rich and indulgent dish that’s sure to have you feeling like you’re dining in the heart of Manhattan. And if you’re more into a classic roast, the Peppercorn Crusted New York Strip Roast will hit the spot, complete with all the comforting sides like mac & cheese and roasted yams.

Sip Like a New Yorker

No New York celebration would be complete without its signature drink—the Manhattan cocktail. Whether you’re a whiskey lover or simply enjoy a well-crafted cocktail, this is the perfect way to kick off your evening.

The Team Behind the Magic

Eoghan Murphy, General Manager of Cork International Hotel, is excited about the event, saying, “The New Yorker has been a cornerstone of our dining experience for the last decade. We’re proud to celebrate this milestone by offering our guests something special—an evening that celebrates both local and global flavors.”

The kitchen team, led by Group Executive Chef Alex Petit, is equally enthusiastic. Chef Petit emphasizes the hotel’s ongoing commitment to sustainability. Their food charter aims to cut waste by 20%, and they’re sticking to locally sourced ingredients. The new autumn menu, just launched this week, features the best of what Cork’s local suppliers have to offer—from McCarthy Meats to Ardsallagh Goat’s Cheese.
