Rye

Rye Review

Delicious bistro classics and creative American fare are on the menu at this dark, moody speakeasy-style hideaway on a little-trodden block. Enter through the unmarked door and you'll find yourself in a world of leather cushions, pressed-tin ceilings, dark wood, mosaic floors, and a 100-year-old oak bar. The signature meatloaf sandwich is daydream-worthy, served with crispy buttermilk onions and horseradish sauce. Cocktails are also excellent; try the Havemayer with overproof rye whiskey. The happy hour special—$5 cheeseburgers and Manhattans—is worth the trip alone, but only available at the bar.
