Since 1937, this storied spot has held fast to its identity—and that’s precisely the charm. With red banquettes, caricature-lined walls, and a no-fuss gastropub menu, it’s a love letter to old New York. Classics like pancetta-topped grilled oysters and a filet au poivre are perfectly executed, while crowd favorites like pommes aligot and the legendary burger never disappoint. Some places evolve; this one endures—with style.
