P.J. Clarke's is a historic tavern just steps from Lincoln Center, serving up mouthwatering burgers and American classics in a lively, retro-chic setting.
"P.J. Clarke’s reopened last September after an extended pandemic closure, again giving theater-goers an opportunity to enjoy some of the city’s top bacon burgers and french fries. The location here is key; one could theoretically walk to the opera within three minutes of finishing up a strong martini and a fresh tray of chilled raw oysters or clams. Keep in mind, however, that this location still operates on somewhat limited hours; the restaurant is only open from Wednesday through Sunday and closes at 10 p.m." - Ryan Sutton
"P.J. Clarke’s, a historic tavern open since 1884, is opening a new location at Manhattan West. This will be their fourth location in Manhattan, adding to their presence in Midtown East, the Upper West Side, and Brookfield Place." - Luke Fortney
"The P.J. Clarke’s on 55th Street—it’s been there since the 1880’s—is one of those classic NYC institutions where everyone who grew up on their burgers can think of nothing better. That sensibility translates to the downtown outpost, which seems to play particularly well with bankers who are thrilled to have a burger and a beer to wrap up the day. The Lincoln Square location is a hit with kids walking home from Central Park."
"P.J. Clarke’s at Lincoln Center has reopened with limited hours, offering a classic dining experience. The Cadillac burger and fries are a highlight, featuring melty cheese, salty bacon, and a juicy patty, perfect for watching sports games." - Eater Staff
"PJ Clarke’s owner Philip Scotti and Barbuto chef Jonathan Waxman are partners in the current location of Barbuto. The duo also worked together on the new P.J. Clarke’s at the Curtis Center in Philadelphia. Longstanding P.J. Clarke’s has three locations in Manhattan, where it serves one of the best hamburgers in the city." - Carla Vianna
