Gramercy Tavern - Highly Recommended42 E. 20th St.
New York, NY 10003
(nr. Park Ave. South)
One of the best meals I've ever had in Manhattan.
And I can't believe Monday night was my first time.
It wouldn't be fair if I didn't mention Colicchio in this post. Perhaps this is the place Tom built, but Chef Michael Anthony gets my tremendous praise. His food is so pleasant.
Michael's cooking isn't too gentle nor is it over the top, punch you in the face flavor overload.
Every dish was just the right. Just the right touch.
And while on the topic of shout outs... Danny Meyer gets huge props as well.
Union Square Cafe, Shake Shack, Eleven Madison, and now Gramercy Tavern have all been extremely solid eating experiences. Could this man be the ultimate Restaurateur? At this point, I would have to say so.
I will probably go back in the next few weeks to enjoy a meal in the "tavern" portion of the establishment. It's less formal there and you can order A La Carte as opposed to the fixed menus in the dining room.
