Thalia

New York

$$$$

PERMANENTLY CLOSED

Situated in the heart of the Theatre District, this cavernous spot marries European ambience with New American fare, combined with a few eclectic twists: where the menu begins with Maryland crab cake and confit pork belly, it ends with sushi offerings and homemade pasta. Thalia’s wide reach likely accounts for its varied traffic: pre-theatre dinners, tourists en route to make traveling connections, post-work corporate folk talking shop over martinis and bottles of Bordeaux. For those who land somewhere in between, consider giving their formidable oyster happy hour a shot.
