Tavern On The Green Closing

Latest updates Tavern on the Green is a restaurant located in Central Park on the Upper West Side of New York City, in the United States.

With 2007 gross revenues of $38 million, from more than 500,000 visitors, it is the second highest-grossing independently-owned restaurant in the United States (behind The Venetian’s Tao restaurant in Las Vegas, at $67 million). Of the several dining rooms, the most famous is the Crystal Room, which features windows overlooking the restaurant’s adjacent garden in Central Park.

Tavern on the Green will have its last seating on December 31, 2009. It is auctioning off its interior decorations and closing its doors due to bankruptcy.

The twinkling lights of New York’s famed Tavern on the Green could dim this year should the city choose not to award a new lease to the family that operates the Central Park landmark.

The New York City Parks Department on Monday requested proposals for the renovation of the 25,000-square-foot restaurant west of the park’s Sheep Meadow near 67th Street. (Tavern On The Green Closing)
