Keith McNally opened this brasserie on Spring Street in April 1997 and it has run a French menu from breakfast through to midnight ever since. The distressed brass mirrors and the tin ceiling were built that way at the start rather than acquired with age. Bread and pastry are baked daily at the bakery on the same address.

Long walk · 0.5 mi · 11 min walk; 2 min ride - West Village

A basement bar on Grove Street where a piano player works through show tunes and the whole place sings along, whether or not you know the words. Drinks are cheap and the crowd is a mix of Broadway people and anyone who wandered down the steps. It runs until 4am every night of the week.
