"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.

    Super friendly and informative waiter, who was very attentive. I can’t remember his name. Food was good as always. Everything is overpriced unfortunately. Nothing on that menu should cost as much as it does, especially for a restaurant that’s been around that long. I come there every once in a while and I always like it, but I’m always reminded at how ridiculous the prices are. Literally $35 for some chopped lettuce with chicken on top of it.

    The Knickerbocker never fails. Somehow, both a special place and a neighborhood place; beautiful vibe, both festive and elegant; dependably good food; warm and thoughtful waitstaff. We have been coming to this restaurant for years, and even after long gaps, are remembered and treated like treasured guests. I think this might be my favorite all-around restaurant, period.

    Excellent food and service. Traditional Village atmosphere. A bit pricey but worth it. We have been enjoying the Knickerbocker for over 45 years!

    Always tasty food, always friendly service, always a convivial local crowd, not hip or swanky, not stodgy, just a neighborhood gem. Decor of vintage posters is charming. And weekend jazz adds a nice touch. As we generally do, we enjoyed a leisurely, delicious 3.5 hour meal with musical accompaniment. A very special place.
