New American Cuisine in New York
The Meridian represents the leading edge of New American cuisine in New York — a style of cooking that draws from global traditions while remaining rooted in American ingredients, hospitality, and creative ambition.
About The Meridian
New American cuisine is the story of a nation told through food, and The Meridian writes new chapters every season. Chef Bellamy's menu reflects the incredible diversity of American foodways — Southern smokehouse traditions, Pacific Northwest seafood culture, Southwestern spice, and the agricultural bounty of the Northeast — all filtered through a fine-dining lens that emphasizes precision, balance, and beauty.
This is not fusion cooking. It's a deeply considered approach to American dining that respects the origins of each tradition while creating something genuinely new. Dishes like our kimchi-glazed short rib with stone-ground grits, or our Maine lobster with charred corn and green chile, demonstrate how America's culinary traditions can coexist and elevate one another on a single plate.
