Contemporary Seasonal American at 42 E 20th St
Contemporary Seasonal American cooking anchors Gramercy Tavern at 42 E 20th St. Farm-to-table and local sourcing make it a fit for diners prioritizing seasonal American ingredients over a cuisine-hopping meal.
Historic building, lunch, and dinner pacing

Martinis and sommelier-led wine
Martinis earned Esquire recognition in 2025, while sommelier-led wine is reinforced by Star Wine List in 2026 and Wine Spectator recognition in 2025 and 2026.
