Tucked into a storybook stretch of Gramercy, just close enough to catch the energy of the East Village, The Laurels feels like the kind of place you stumble upon once and suddenly can’t stop talking about. It’s giving modern Manhattan polish with old-school neighborhood soul by way of a warm glow, fabulous fare, and superb sips.
Grab your $39 pulse (an $88 value) for a Dinner For Two that includes 2 Entrees, as well as 2 Cocktails, Glasses of Wines, or Beers to tipple while you savor your feast!
At the helm is Executive Chef Mohammad Salameh, whose résumé runs from The Meridien and St. Regis Hotels to training under Michelin-starred Chef Giorgio Diana. The result? Food that’s refined but never fussy, indulgent, and meant to linger over.
Start with an Espresso Martini or a glass of bold red wine. Then lean into plates that the spot like Steak Frites repping truffle-parmesan fries and au poivre sauce, not to mention the divine Pan-Roasted Salmon, or hearty Short-Rib Poutine that layer rosemary parmesan fries with handspun mozzarella, sherry gravy and chives.
It’s buzzy but intimate. Trend-forward but timeless. The kind of epic, perfectly placed Manhattan hideaway where the drinks are strong, the lighting is perfect, and the night always stretches a little longer than planned...
There’s history here! The Laurels nods to the football field in Ireland where owner Kevin Mulligan grew up, and that spirit still lingers. It’s equal parts heritage and Manhattan chic, tapping into a warm, welcoming scene layered with a sharp, modern edge. Think neighborhood loyalty that merges with downtown buzz. We're talking a mix of regulars & the in-the-know crowd.
Chef Mohammad Salameh (fresh off opening the Moxy Hotel in Williamsburg and previously sharpened under Michelin-starred Chef Giorgio Diana!) has reimagined the menu with an inventive, savvy touch.
Inside, rich wood tones meet ivy greens and whitewashed brick, treating your senses to the kind of setting that feels timeless yet undeniably now. It’s cozy in that old-school way, but the vibe is pure present-day sophistication, minus the pretension.
Order a few Negronis and settle in. Maybe it’s the decadent Spaghettie alla Carretiera with garlic, cherry tomatoes, parsley, basil, Parmesano Reggiano, and olive oil, or the Aged Tenderloin Steak Handheld stacked with soft brie cheese, arugula, caramelized onions, and blue cheese aioli.
You've now discovered a perfectly placed Gramercy gem...
All selections will be made from the restaurant's full dinner menu.
