Nightly’s

Nightly's runs a big bar on Second Avenue where regulars perch for a martini with a side of fries, while the dining room in back tackles risotto, steak and fish tacos on the same menu. The pan-seared gnocchi and a roast chicken finished with a creamy tarragon sauce are dishes the kitchen gets right most consistently. A few oversized booths suit bigger groups, and the room stays packed enough that booking ahead on Resy is worth it.
