Gramercy Tavern

This fabled NY icon is high on most people's roll call. It's one of those places that manages the rare trick of being so confident in its abilities and can be all things to all diners. You’ll probably leave happy whether you’re here on a date, to impress the in-laws or seal a deal. The “Tavern” side is a prized spot for lunch, especially if you can sit at the bar. The “Dining Room” though is for those who like a little more pomp with their pappardelle and truly comes to life at night. Service is attentive throughout. Focused on impeccable products, the classic American cuisine with a broad appeal is a perfect match for the woody surrounds. It's also sure of its footing and unthreatening in its vocabulary.
