Concierge "The Bar Room's menu of small plates is already the favorite with diners, but both spaces have ravishing Danish modern settings and Meyer's famously perfect service."
Fodor's "Side by side on the ground floor of the New York MoMA are two spots that compete for the title of the country's best museum restaurant."
Travel + Leisure "Created by James Beard Award-winning chef Gabriel Kreuther, the menu includes Alsatian-influenced small plates, large plates, and sharable “bites.”" Full review

""Pure class all the way", this Danny Meyer "triumph" is a "truly special" MoMA showcase for "inspired" French–New American cooking served by a "choreographed" team." Full review
BlackBook "All über-clean lines, buzzing art hounds and pricey prix fixes. Room is stunning, and the food is so spectacular, inventive, and strong on seafood."
DK Eyewitness "In a clean, modern space at the Museum of Modern Art, overlooking the Sculpture Garden, this restaurant serves an impeccable array of New American and French cuisine."
Michelin Guide 2 Stars
"The refined yet brightly styled space is indeed very special, with a striking glass wall separating the more casual bar area from the chic formal dining room's tall orchids and towering beauty." Full review
Gayot "Architects Bentel & Bentel created The Modern's cool and subdued space of black and white and glass, leaving room for the food to express itself." Full review
Gayot "A less formal (and more affordable) counterpart to The Modern." Full review

Lonely Planet "New York’s most storied steakhouse (in operation since 1887) serves up an amazingly tender porterhouse cut. Reservations essential; cash or debit card only." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Peter Luger lets the steaks speak for themselves, and it works: the chain, including this tavern-like Williamsburg location, is consistently voted the best steakhouse in NYC." Full review
BlackBook "Defining macho since 1887. Simply put, this is where you eat steak in NYC."
DK Eyewitness "A New York institution serving “the discerning steak connoisseur” since 1887. Try their out-of-this-world meat."
Michelin Guide 1 Star
"When that steak for two (or three or four) arrives, slow yourself and take a long, hot look to appreciate its every perfection." Full review
Gayot15.0
"For over a century, carnivores have been traversing the Williamsburg Bridge to the Brooklyn side to sample consistently excellent steaks at Peter Luger." Full review
New York Magazine Critic's Pick
"The staff goes about its nonstop business with cordial if mechanical efficiency, serving onion-and-tomato salads, creamed spinach, and pasty fried potatoes." Full review
Rough Guide Star
"Catering to carnivores since 1887, Peter Luger may just be the city’s finest steakhouse."
Time Out "Although a slew of Luger copycats have prospered in the last several years, none have captured the elusive charm of this stucco walled, beer-hall style eatery." Full review
