Tavern on the Green

New York

American Restaurant

$$$$

This iconic Central Park institution has been the focal point in many rom-com films for its picturesque setting on the western edge of the park. Truth be told, you go to Tavern of the Green for the ambience more than the food, but the menu of upscale country club-like dishes -- think Cobb salad, a house burger, and grilled salmon -- is well-executed.
