New York City Cocktail Bars

Gramercy Tavern

An assured New American classic blessed with service, style and exacting culinary quality control.

The Scene

The aroma of grilled meat and the sound of conversation greet visitors to this iconic Union Square eatery, the best from restaurateur Danny Meyer. The spacious, rustic-looking layout includes a casual street-facing tavern area, an always-boisterous bar and a series of formal dining spaces in back. Rear dining spaces are well-appointed yet homey; servers are some of the best in the business.

The Food

The kitchen embraces a disciplined and often riveting style of New American cooking; ingredients are chosen by the mantra "if it grows together, it goes together." The food is elegant and pure--showstoppers include braised veal cheeks with gnocchi and morels, roasted lamb with fava beans and fingerling potatoes, and a knockout coffee meringue ice cream sandwich for dessert.
