"You and some people from the marketing team talk about going to Vegas every other day. But rather than actually going and then spending a weekend deleting Instagram stories minutes after posting them, just get post-work drinks at The Ragtrader. This spot right below Bryant Park looks like it could be a hotel bar in Vegas, and it gets packed daily with people who want to talk sh*t about their bosses and ask strangers where they went to college before taking the subway back to Williamsburg or LIC." - matt tervooren

"It’s your coworker’s birthday, and despite that break you took for cupcakes at 4pm, everyone’s a little hungry. Try The Rag Trader. It’s a big restaurant that sort of looks like it belongs in Vegas, and it has a very large bar area in the front and a dining room in the back (with additional seating up a flight of stairs). There’s a full dinner menu with stuff like burrata, octopus, and steak, and the big tables up front are perfect for groups." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren

"The Rag Trader sort of looks like it belongs in Vegas, not the Garment District. It has a very large bar area in the front and a dining room in the back (with additional seating up a flight of stairs), and there’s a full dinner menu with stuff like burrata, octopus, and steak. The big tables up front are perfect for groups, and there's a crowd here most nights." - Bryan Kim

"Now open is Rag Trader, an American restaurant with throwback tendencies and a subterranean piano cocktail bar. The menu, from executive chef Justin Ottervanger (Street Taco), focuses on updated old-school American fare like sriracha deviled eggs and steak frites with scallion chermoula. It’s inspired by the Garment District in the mid-20th century. Downstairs is Bo Peep, a cocktail bar with live piano, styled with speakeasy decor and drinks popular in the 1940s and ’50s." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya

I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Ragtrader twice, and each time was a fantastic experience thanks to the wonderful service and ambiance. On my first visit, Maria was my server, and she truly went above and beyond. From the moment I sat down, she was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. Maria’s warmth and professionalism really stood out, making the experience memorable and enjoyable. On my second visit, Patrick was my server, and he also provided excellent service. It’s clear that The Ragtrader places a high value on customer experience, as both Maria and Patrick exceeded my expectations with their attention to detail and genuine hospitality. The food was fantastic, with a range of delicious options that were well-prepared and beautifully presented. The ambiance of the restaurant added to the experience, with its cozy and stylish vibe that makes you want to stay a little longer. I had a wonderful time here and will definitely be back. Highly recommend The Ragtrader, especially with great servers like Maria and Patrick who make every visit memorable!

I held a dinner for my client and a group of fans here and my experience from beginning to end at Ragtrader was FANTASTIC! From the planning a week before, the manager Jenny was so helpful in bringing everything I wanted the experience to be for the client and his guests. She went above and beyond making sure we were well taken care of. Our head server Connor and his assistant Nikki on the day of the dinner were efficient accommodating and very friendly with the group and giving us so many options to choose from their incredible menu. Having a vegetarian in our group was no problem as they had many vegetarian options to choose from. She ended up ordering the Mushroom Bolognese which she said was absolutely delicious. My group also ordered the crispy salmon, burger and the hanger steak and they were all delicious. Their desserts were delicious too and my client ordered the toffee pudding which came with a free fire show which was so much fun and the menu for a NYC midtown Manhattan dinner on a Saturday night at Ragtrader was very decently priced. This place was complete great vibes, and a great casual dining restaurant. Thank you to all the staff at the Ragtrader for making our dinner such a memorable experience. This place has a great front patio private section which we will definitely come back again to hold another private event here! I 10000000% recommend this place!

Yesterday, we had an outstanding experience that ensured our return. Seated in the dimly lit back of the restaurant, we enjoyed an intimate ambiance. Surprisingly, the staff didn't overlook our anniversary, presenting us with complimentary champagne and a heartfelt card. Our waitress, Annalynn, was professional, friendly, and efficient, guiding us through the specials and recommending desserts. The food and drinks were impeccable, served promptly and tasting delicious. It was a perfect anniversary dinner, and we highly recommend it. Thank you once more!

Walked in without a reservation around 2pm on Saturday and was seated promptly and felt super welcomed by the hostess! We ordered the baby kale salad to share; that was perfect for two people. I ordered the sopressata pie and my date ordered the omelet, both were cleared from our plates 😂👌 I will definitely be coming back for the brunch special!

Great vibe and also great prices not super expensive for the area. I like their menu it’s interesting and they don’t have all the same stuff. They also have a pretty decent pizza which I was really surprised about. We shared a bottle of white wine that was OK I’d recommend they reevaluate their line list that would be my only recommendation . My husband had the special which was a pasta and was really good. Also totally recommend getting the sticky toffee pudding dessert it’s a spectacle and definitely eat it there. They are also on seated which is nice.

Nice restaurant in midtown. Loved the interiors and the vibe of this place. The food was delicious. I had the Crispy Skin Salmon with Black rice and Green Curry Sauce and I liked it a lot. The scallops was cooked perfectly and the sweet potato fries were good too. For dessert, we had the Blueberry cheesecake and the Sticky Toffee pudding and it was amazing. A perfect way to end our meal. They make really good cocktails as well. Service was nice, quick and efficient. They have a piano cocktail bar at the basement which would be fun to check out next time. Make your reservations ahead of time. Great experience overall and will definitely be back. Highly recommend.

Went in for the happy hour, stayed for the excellent service and delicious drinks! Amanda was so sweet and attentive. Loved El Guapo. Brussels sprouts, deviled eggs and fried artichokes were all tasty. Would recommend!
