Tavern on the Green, the iconic restaurant located in the middle of New York City’s Central Park, is ready to welcome you once again.
The restaurant officially announced its reopening date for Thursday, April 29, 2021, which it says will come with a “reimagined” dining scene.
“To say that we are excited to open our doors again is an understatement,” Jim Caiola, co-owner of Tavern on the Green, shared in a statement. “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.”

More than a year after shuttering its doors due to COVID-19, the restaurant will reopen its indoor dining rooms at 50% capacity, as well as the restaurant’s outdoor dining spaces, including its Main Courtyard located across from Central Park’s Sheep’s Meadow, its Beer Garden at the front of the restaurant, and its South Terrace.
With both indoor and outdoor dining available, guests can indulge in chef Bill Peet’s exquisite meals. According to the restaurant, Peet plans to debut a new menu for the spring season; however, the Tavern Burger and its famous Birthday Cake remain classics on the menu.

Tavern on the Green will also re-open its “To-Go” window, featuring a delightful array of dishes such as veggie frittata, a jumbo shrimp and guacamole wrap, and a cheese and charcuterie plate perfect for park snacking, along with a full drink menu.
