12 NYC Restaurants That Are Pretty Much Fancy TGI Fridays, Ranked
"How similar is it to TGI Fridays? A slight spiritual connection. It's no Barney Greengrass, but TGI Fridays is, technically, a classic New York City establishment. So don’t take it the wrong way when we tell you that Red Hook Tavern, a restaurant with serious food and a thoughtful wine program, could theoretically donate a kidney. Both spots serve American food and churn out burgers like they're trying to rid the world of cattle. There are, however, a few key differences: Red Hook Tavern's thick-patty burger is one of the city's best, and you can pair it with some venison carpaccio or a glass of Savoyard mondeuse." - bryan kim
