Before you book
Coming from The Plaza Hotel
For a 7pm table on foot, you'd leave by 6:20. A cab is the better call: tell the driver we're between 11th and 12th Aves.
From our door to The Broadway Theatre is about 18 min, against about 14 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.
