Lunch at Tavern on the Green

At the exact time of this post, Bruce and Mary Beth are having lunch at Tavern on the Green at Central Park (graciously provided by yet another one of their friends!).

Here are some details about it:

Tavern on the Green is best known for its ambiance. Built in 1870, this Central Park gem now has a whimsical, Oz-like character. With an unrivaled backdrop and festive atmosphere, this restaurant attracts New Yorkers looking to celebrate and tourists seeking a meal with a view. A "must-see" claims Zagat.

Choose from cosmopolitan meat, fish, and seafood dishes, pastas, signature salads, and delectable desserts. Enjoy an eclectic menu of contemporary American and seasonal fare.

Be dazzled by Tavern on the Green’s glittering light: sunlight or moonlight pouring through glass walls, flickering candlelight, and the reflected light from etched mirrors. Whimsical topiaries adorn the Crystal Garden used for dancing in the summer. Hand-hewn rafters and vaulted, hand-carved ceilings rise above décor that varies from baroque to rococo. Stained glass, original paintings, antiques, and two giant murals grace the six dining rooms. Forty-five chandeliers illuminate the rooms where Manhattan’s rich and famous have dined for nearly a century.
