One of New York's most storied restaurants reopens with a menu straight out of the Gilded Age.

The landmarked space that held the famed Brooklyn steakhouse - which first opened in 1879 and then shuttered in 2004 - has been brought back to life by restaurateur St. John Frizell of Fort Defiance. Designated the city’s third-ever interior landmark the long room remains - decked out with elegant cherry-wood paneling, arched mirrors and glittering chandeliers. 

Together with husband-and-wife team: Ben Schneider and chef Sohui Kim of Insa & The Good Fork, they have restored the histroric oyster and chop house to its former glory and guiding it into the 21st century with a menu of elevated classic dishes based on original recipes alongside many throwback dishes - washed down with an old-school cocktail list.

Open daily, from 5pm to 11pm.
