"If you’re feeling the midweek blues, book a dinner at Dirty Rascal, an upscale Italian-American restaurant inside the Thompson Hotel. It isn’t just a mood, it’s a mood changer. The retro, mid-century bar outside the restaurant is the perfect place to grab a drink and pretend you’re not only in another place but in another decade—notably a decade where your work deadlines don’t yet exist. After a cocktail, move onto the dark, moody dining room to enjoy carb-heavy comforts like their cheesy lasagna for two or the tortellini with a meaty lamb bolognese." - nina reeder, demarco williams
"Italian-American restaurant Dirty Rascal is the latest dining spot from chef Todd Ginsberg and the team behind Rye Restaurants group (the General Muir, Wood’s Chapel BBQ). Located at the Thompson Hotel, and led in the kitchen by chef Josh Hopkins, head here to dine on red sauce joint classics like steak Diane, lasagna, chicken scarpariello, and eggplant parmesan paired with dirty martinis. Look for meatballs, shrimp cocktail, and hero sandwiches and paninis during lunch, too. Reservations encouraged." - Eater Staff

"Italian-American restaurant Dirty Rascal at the Thompson Hotel isn’t playing around when it comes to the martini. In fact, there’s three martini styles on the menu to pair with dishes like eggplant parmesan and shrimp scampi: classic, dirty, and a steakhouse take with blue cheese-stuffed olives. Reservations for dinner highly encouraged." - Beth McKibben

Setting the scene for a little escapism, the mid-century retro-looking bar just outside the hotel’s entrance to the restaurant is the perfect place to grab a drink and pretend you’re not only in another place but in another decade—notably a decade where your work deadlines don’t yet exist.
