Europe has so many old places they've kept. I hope NYC can let us keep more historical NYC places.
My parents had their first date there in the 70's. They fell in love there. TOTG is kinda responsible for making me....♥
Visit here to help support Tavern On The Green's lease renewal.
A grand cafĂ© overlooking Central Park, Tavern on the Green is one of New York’s most dazzling dining experiences – an unforgettable show-stopper overflowing with crystal chandeliers, hand-etched mirrors, original artworks and stained glass. Nestled in its own magical gardens, Tavern on the Green exists in a fantasy-like setting. No wonder pundits have declared, “If Oz had a restaurant, this would be it!”
A little History:
Jenny Oz Leroy
Built to house sheep in 1870, the building now known as Tavern on the Green became a restaurant in 1934. Forty years later, Warner LeRoy, who had revolutionized the American dining scene with his legendary Maxwell's Plum, took over the restaurant’s lease and embarked upon a two-year, $10 million renovation.
Tavern on the Green reopened in 1976 as one of the world’s most spectacular restaurants, immediately embraced by New York’s glitterati. Now, under the direction of LeRoy’s daughter, Jennifer, who took over upon his death in 2001, it is the second highest-grossing independently owned restaurant in the United States with annual revenues in excess of $37 million; serving nearly 700,000 diners a year.
