The Clocktower (restaurant)
To enter the restaurant, diners walk through the lobby of the Edition Hotel, also located in the building. The Clocktower is a collaboration between Philadelphia-based restaurateur Stephen Starr and London-based chef Jason Atherton. It is Atherton's first restaurant project in the United States.
Design
The restaurant has a dining area, a separate bar, and a room with a billiards table. The dining area is split into three separate rooms. The restaurant is decorated throughout with black and white photographs, mostly taken in New York City. Guests are provided a booklet with information about the pictures upon request.
Tableware
Much of the tableware used at the Clocktower was sourced by Starr employee Randi Sirkin from the website Etsy. Atherton was also involved in the selection process. The tableware includes porcelain plates decorated with skulls wearing crowns and other regal paraphernalia, which Atherton now uses in some of his restaurants in London and Singapore.
