Following the loosening up of dining restrictions, the iconic Central Park restaurant Tavern on the Green will reopening April 29 -- after being closed for more than a year due to the pandemic.
Tavern on the Green, which was closed for 13 months, will open its indoor dining at 50 percent capacity, as well as its outdoor dining spaces. Tavern on the Green’s outdoor dining offerings include its Main Courtyard located across from Central Park’s Sheep’s Meadow, its Beer Garden located at the front of the restaurant, and its South Terrace, typically used as a covered outdoor events space.
Beginning Tuesday, Tavern on the Green will accept reservations. (Although the restaurant will accept walk-ins, it highly encourages reservations.)
Tavern on the Green’s “To-Go” window will also reopen with a menu including wraps, frittatas and other plates for park snacking, and a full drink menu including wine, beer, and cocktails to-go. Guests can order ahead online from the park and will receive a text alert when their order is ready for contact-free pick up at the window, which is located facing the park on the south side of Tavern’s Main Courtyard.
“To say that we are excited to open our doors again is an understatement,” said Jim Caiola, Co-Owner of Tavern on the Green. “Tavern is more than just a restaurant, it is a place for New Yorkers to unwind, relax in the heart of Central Park, and feel some kind of normalcy again. The past year has tested our industry, and we have come back more resilient and innovative than ever. It has been powerful to see how restaurants have adapted and we so look forward to bringing back such a special offering, whether our guests are coming in for dinner in the iconic Central Park Room, or grabbing a cheese plate and cocktails to enjoy in the park.”
