"Taylor Swift y a été aperçue en compagnie de Selena Gomez fin mai 2025, peu après l’annonce de la récupération des droits de ses albums 🥳 On y sert une cuisine américaine classique, notamment des cocktails de crevettes et des viandes copieuses comme la côte de bœuf, le steak frites et le classique NY Strip."

"Meh: truffle bucatini, spicy shrimp pasta (better) steak frites (fries were good cuz of the sauces) Bad: oysters, cucumber martini (so strong). Hugo spiritz was kinda sweet, burger was good, french dip was good too (jus is the best)"

"Known for burgers (try wedge salad, mushrooms, crab rangoons)"

@mckenna_higgs

"Quintessentially New York upscale atmosphere with dim lighting and retro decor. Very nice the main dining room with the murals of Jazz celebrities. Good ambiance for any kind of celebration dinner. The menu features an array of French / American options. Good quality and preparation overall. Waiters are smart and quick on their feet. Very good cocktails (Martini is a must; the Dirty one with the olive filled of blu cheese is perversely good). Definitely overpriced, but you know what you get if you’re at MB. FD: Wagyu Cheeseburger; French Dip; Steak. Drinks: Dirty Martini "

@kaylasapodin

"Fun old school New York vibes. Owned by same group as four Charles, great prime rib sandwich, burger, pasta, drinks. Good spot in midtown before a show"

@

"This place has completely reinvented itself. Buckeye roadhouse on steroids. Old school red leather booths with dim lit lamps. Enough space for six at a table for two. Martinis of all shapes and sizes. Steaks, meats, shellfish, and starches. Just what you need to start a big night. 8.8/10"

"Founded in the 1930s, Monkey Bar has changed hands a few times over the years (such as in 2009, when it was bought by Graydon Carter). The newest iteration—from the team behind Au Cheval and 4 Charles Prime Rib—feels especially promising. This old-school Midtown restaurant still has a big sunken dining room that features plush red booths and a wraparound mural of Jazz Age celebrities, but the menu is brand new. The food includes everything from pasta and fried chicken to steakhouse staples like a dry-aged porterhouse. They also serve the same cheese-smothered burger that you’ll find at Au Cheval, and you should eat one in the walk-in-only tavern area."
