"The place where New Yorkers eat"
Knickerbocker is known for its great Jazz and its 28 oz. T- Bone Steaks and is a favorite among many celebrities including F. Murray Abraham, Chris Noth and Alec Baldwin. Racheal Ray listed us in her "NYC Favorites" and has praised our Shrimp Cocktail, Creamed Spinach, and of course our T- Bone Steaks.
The word "Knickerbocker" itself, says "New York". Upon entering, you’ll know you're in the Village. Its wood paneled walls sport rare turn of the century posters and original caricatures by Al Hirschfeld. Large leather booths line the walls and brass rails accent the 100 year old marble bar, where Charles Lindbergh signed his Trans Atlantic contract.
We have survived the times by using the freshest ingredients from local markets, and offering good solid value and quality.

    Food was slow to arrive. Appetizers arrived with main course without explanation. Waiter left us with empty drinks glasses; didn’t take another drink order until coffee. His attention seemed elsewhere. Unusually poor service. Most of our experiences here have had very good service.

    Always a great experience. A true NYC gem. Had a early dinner and had fun watching 20+ vacationers come in on a dinner booked by a tour company. Everyone went out of their way to be nice to our NYC visitors.

    3 of us had good wine and cocktails, shared beet salad and caviar pie, steak for 1 for 3 of us ( still had meat to take home) the mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. We finished the meal with delicious churros and dipping sauces. Everything was delicious. The service was friendly and attentive. A great meal!
