"Gramercy Tavern’s upscale dining room in the back is where you can eat their tasting menu for $175. If you want a special-occasion spot that feels like someone’s very nice home in Aspen, that’s where you should sit. But we prefer the more casual tavern area up front, where you can eat some excellent brick chicken or a top-notch burger. If you need a last-minute spot to impress some people, stop by and get a few seats at the bar." - bryan kim, hannah albertine, molly fitzpatrick
"There are two different ways to experience Gramercy Tavern. In the back, there’s the upscale dining room, where you can book a table and eat a tasting menu for $175. If you want a special-occasion spot that feels less like a museum and more like someone’s very nice home in Aspen, that’s where you should sit. But we prefer the more casual tavern area up front where you can eat some excellent brick chicken or a top-notch burger. If you need a last-minute spot to impress some people, stop by and get a few seats at the bar." - willa moore, bryan kim, matt tervooren, will hartman
"One of Danny Meyer’s most famous restaurants, this grand space where chef Michael Anthony has won three New York Times stars and a slew of James Beard Awards, houses two experiences: the dining room with a $175 menu, and the more relaxed a la carte Tavern. Among the price-fixe dishes are roasted carrots with quinoa and pumpkin seeds; summer squash ravioli with ricotta and lemon; roasted duck breast and bacon with wild rice; and lamb with beans and kale. Tavern options include roasted oysters with Swiss chard and apple; duck liver mousse with sour cherries; grilled pork shoulder with squash and tomatoes; sweet potato pappardelle with braised beef; and wood-fired bass with bacon aioli." - Melissa McCart
"Cited as one of the notable New York fine-dining kitchens where Chef Nick Wong worked during his long career, helping shape his experience in high-end restaurant environments." - ByKate Kassin
"If you have something big to celebrate with a group, and you’d rather do so at a table where everyone can sit in a circle and make intense eye contact, get a reservation at Gramercy Tavern. You can either do the prix fixe or a tasting menu, and you can hang out in a circle in the middle of the room while you eat some top-notch pasta or some steak tartare and duck confit." - willa moore, bryan kim, matt tervooren
