Gotham Bar and Grill
PERMANENTLY CLOSED
Since 1985, French-trained chef Alfred Portale has helmed the kitchen at this iconic Greenwich Village eatery. Gotham serves Michelin-rated American eats in a trendy and palatial space, defined by its relaxed sense of elegance -- black-framed windows, a granite bar, soft lighting. The 12th st. staple serves expertly prepared dishes like steak frites, tartare, and foie gras, each presented with a careful attention to detail, while the sommeliers' personalized recommendations off the house-curated wine list ensure the perfect pairing. For those mainly looking to drink, there is a full menu of house-cocktails available, while the most indulgent of the liquor options comes in the form of Gotham's famous dark chocolate bonbons, hand-made by the kitchen's very own chocolatiers, and filled with rosé champagne.
