Gramercy Tavern
9.1
A New York institution pairing market-driven American cooking with famously warm hospitality in a rustic-modern dining room. The tavern menu hits a sweet spot of refinement and comfort, while the tasting room leans more celebratory and chef-forward. Even with decades of acclaim, the kitchen still feels present-tense and alive to the season.
