Iconic Central Park restaurant with American fare & garden seating



























"Referenced as the archetypal Central Park restaurant in a comic exchange — used as the punchline to a story about an improbable hookup — the landmark is mentioned only in dialogue and is not shown on screen." - Nadia Chaudhury
"A view of Central Park from the protected perch of cushy banquette is the lure of this iconic spot. Chef Bill Peet’s brunch comes a la carte most days with items like potato pancakes or bacon and egg pizza, frittatas, burgers, and Benedicts. The restaurant opens at 9 a.m." - Melissa McCart

"This classic tourist stop in Central Park is an excellent place to stop for a drink. For the holiday season, the bar room is full of greenery, a Christmas tree, lights, and live jazz. Try a spiced cider or other festive cocktail to warm up after exploring the park, and be sure to head to the courtyard for a photo opp with the towering tree." - Eater Staff
