Gramercy Tavern

Union Square, Flatiron District & Gramercy

LoginSave

Seasonal, local ingredients drive this perennial favorite, a vibrant, country-chic institution aglow with copper sconces, murals and dramatic floral arrangements. Choose from two spaces: the walk-in-only tavern and its à la carte menu, or the swankier dining room and its fancier prix-fixe and degustation feasts. Regardless of where you sit, you'll find service is excellent. New Yorkers love this place: book ahead.

Gramercy Tavern is part of the Danny Meyer food empire, which means this is a no-tipping restaurant.
