Before you book

Coming from The William

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 Stephen Sondheim is about 21 min, against about 11 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.
