Pete's Tavern is NYC's oldest continuously operating restaurant and bar (opened 1864), located in Gramercy Park with genuine historical character—it's where O. Henry wrote "The Gift of the Magi" and survived Prohibition disguised as a flower shop. Reviewers praise the chicken pot pie, Scottish salmon, and mozzarella en carozza, along with attentive service and festive holiday atmosphere. Be warned: reservations are strongly recommended, especially during peak seasons, as walk-ins frequently get turned away.
