P.J. Clarke's Third Avenue

The Oldest Restaurants & Bars In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"With ice-flecked martinis and chalkboard signs, the original P.J. Clarke’s in Midtown East feels like a Mad Men hangout. Though it did appear in the show’s first season, it’s actually much older. The long bar and restaurant in a red brick building began life as an Irish saloon, served bootleg liquor through Prohibition, was a Frank Sinatra go-to, and still fills nightly up with post-work beer-drinkers and neighborhood folk eating “Cadillac” burgers—so named by Nat King Cole. Frank Sinatra, Johnny Mercer, Buddy Holly" - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
