Hourglass Tavern

Everything about this place oozes old-world charm. The three-story tavern is located in a renovated nineteenth-century brownstone and serves up the best kind of comfort food à la carte or as part of a three-course pre-theatre prix fixe menu. And after a show, you can come back for another round upstairs at its Bettibar. If that's not enough to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, the restaurant's traditional hourglasses perched on each table will. They’re not meant to rush you—they were used 30 years ago to ensure theatergoers wouldn't be late.
