American restaurant · Midtown East

"The National is good to know about because it’s a reliable option for almost any Midtown dining situation. It’s nice enough for business meals with clients, but also not so formal that you’d feel out of place coming for a burger and martini before catching the 8:17 to White Plains. The long American menu has options for everyone, from bar bites like chicken wings and meatballs to large plates like branzino and steak frites." - Hannah Albertine, Bryan Kim, Hillary Reinsberg, Matt Tervooren
