The other evening I met a friend for dinner at the Bryant Park Grill, which boasts Parisian-style dining and is located right behind the New York Public Library at 25 West 40th Street in Bryant Park. Here are some sites you’ll see as you walk through the park to the restaurant.

The Bryant Park Grill also offers American-style cuisine with a wine list complimenting those options.  There are 26 selections from California served by the glass.

Having generated an appetite after strolling through the park and possessing a preference for well-prepared chicken dishes,  I ordered the Organic Chicken stuffed with mushrooms, mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, and carrots.

This chicken dish ranks among the finest meals I’ve enjoyed. I heartily recommend the Bryant Park Grill because of the food and atmosphere.  Reservations are recommended because even on a Wednesday night, seating was limited. Bon appetit! Readers may also enjoy our reviews of Dancing With the Stars, Cotenna Italian Restaurant, The Kat and Dave Show, and the Arte Cafe.

From a bottomless pit of prison and despair, Stevens mustered sobriety and hope powered by a renewed, unwavering determination, self-worth, confidence, and passion for his craft. His life became a transformative journey of recovery, growth, and personal empowerment. He crushed his alter ego D Man and broke free, becoming a beacon of resilience and strength. Ronald “Smokey” Stevens is a superbly gifted raconteur with an authentic, inspirational story for everyone that must be told.

Sardi’s

Dennis King once remarked of Sardi’s, “It is much like the Mermaid Tavern of Shakespeare’s day. It is the greatest theatrical restaurant in the world. But it is more than a restaurant. It is a message center, a lover’s rendezvous, a casting center, and even a psychiatrist’s couch.” It also gave birth to a popular radio show in 1946, “Luncheon at Sardi’s!”
