Before you book
Coming from The Knickerbocker
Walking? Leave the Knickerbocker by 6:30 for a 7pm table. After 6 blocks up 7th Ave you still have 4 avenues to cross on our street, so don't count on making up time at the end.
From our door to The New Amsterdam is about 19 min, against about 3 min from your hotel. Keep that in mind if there's a curtain time tonight.
One more thing: we're loud. There's a live DJ every night we're open, so pick somewhere else for a quiet talk. We're closed on Mondays.
Cantina Rooftop is a separate restaurant, with no connection to the Knickerbocker. How to find us →
