- Is it worth going out of your way for?
- Yes, as a Michelin Guide-listed piece of New York dining history. It’s a destination for the preserved 1930s interior, the famous neon sign, and a classic brasserie experience that has remained consistent since 1980.
- Who is it for?
- It’s for anyone seeking a classic, unpretentious New York brasserie. It works for brunch, casual business lunches, after-work drinks, and steady dinner service, accommodating groups, solo diners, and people-watchers on the patio.
- What should you order?
- Lean into the brasserie classics: the steak frites is the signature, the cheeseburger is a reliably well-executed staple, and the French onion soup exemplifies the kitchen’s traditional anchors.
- How do you get a table?
- Book via OpenTable. For a quicker, sociable experience, try for a spot at the long bar.
- Anything to know before you go?
- The room is the original 1930s cafeteria space, preserved not curated. Outdoor seating on West Broadway connects the dining room to the street. It’s an all-day operation with a $60 per person price point.
