The Library is one of downtown's best kept secrets; tucked away on the mezzanine of the Public Theater. The elegant restaurant and bar is named for the Astor Library, in a nod to both the United States' first public library and the landmarked building that now houses the Public Theater. This supper club acts as watering hole and backstage lounge to downtown characters, neighborhood dwellers, theater-goers, academics and artists alike. You never know what stories will unfold over dinner and cocktails at the Library... Our menu, created by Chefs Andrew Carmellini and Ricky Mungarary, is inspired by New York City: the richness of its local ingredients and the vitality of its downtown culture. The Library offers bar snacks, shareable plates, sandwiches, entrees and desserts... During the run of The Harder They Come, we are partnering with Miss Lily's to feature their world famous jerk chicken and old fashioned banana pudding on our menu! Sip on our tropically inspired classic 1970s..
