Whether after a little shopping along 5th Avenue, a wander through the nearby art galleries or an evening film or lecture at the Museum of Modern Art, The Modern is the perfect place to pause and refresh in the hands of talented service. Opened in 2005, this restaurant is operated by Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group, characterized by a no-tipping policy in which tips are included in menu prices. The space is characterized by glass décor, huge flower displays and leather furniture and consistently demonstrates a commitment to excellence. Spacious, though always packed, The Modern is a unique experience and inspires diners to wear more formal attire, not out of necessity, but out of a desire to match the elegant and sophisticated setting. The formal dining room towards the back overlooks sculptural works by Miro, Matisse, and Picasso installed in MoMA’s Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden. The Bar Room in the front is more casual and offers an à la carte menu that is unexpectedly playful. Grab a small table for a more private meal or take a seat at the bar in the company of other diners and the bartenders. The menu offers a nice selection of small plates or slightly larger, beautifully presented portions that highlight seasonal ingredients. Dishes like the suckling pig and duck en chartreuse demonstrate the precise quality that forms from slow cooking and delicate spicing. Pair your meal with a selection from the world-class wine list and enjoy the refreshing energy.
