A bastion of "old NY coolness", this circa-1884 Midtown saloon is renowned for its "super-duper" burgers, "historic ambiance" and "fun bar scene"; while the newer spin-offs "don't have the charm" of the original, the Lincoln Center outpost offers pre-theater convenience, while the FiDi branch boasts "lovely water views."
