About Gramercy Tavern

Gramercy Tavern is a New American restaurant on East 20th Street in New York, opened in 1994 by restaurateur Danny Meyer in a historic landmark building just north of Union Square1. It is part of Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group, and Michael Anthony is the executive chef, with Karen Demasco leading pastry1. The kitchen builds its changing seasonal menus around relationships with local farms and purveyors1.

The restaurant works as two places under one roof5. In the Dining Room, dinner is a five-course seasonal menu with optional wine pairings, built on greenmarket produce, while lunch offers either à la carte dishes or a four-course menu2. The front Tavern serves an à la carte menu of dishes from an open wood-burning grill in a livelier, casual setting, and it is open from late morning to late evening every day3. The Infatuation describes the Tavern as the spot for walk-ins5.

Gramercy Tavern lists nine James Beard Awards, among them Outstanding Restaurant and Outstanding Chef, and has held a Michelin star since 20061. The Michelin Guide still lists it with one star, calling it a "fabled NY icon" that manages to be "all things to all diners"4. In 2016, Pete Wells of The New York Times gave it three stars, as noted on the restaurant's own press page6.
