About

Danny Meyer's first restaurant serves seasonal New American fare in a casually refined setting.

Union Square Cafe is one of New York's most beloved institutions—Danny Meyer's flagship, opened in 1985, that helped define the concept of warm, hospitality-forward American dining. The seasonal cooking, welcoming atmosphere, and genuine hospitality make guests feel known rather than processed; nearly four decades in, the formula remains the best argument for why it works.
