An Eclectic '90s-Era Cafe Scales Up to Serve Dinner in Columbus Circle
"The Grey Dog, which brothers Dave Ethan and Pete Adrian opened in 1996 in the West Village, started as an eclectic coffee shop and has now made its way to an all-day, 75-seat location in Columbus Circle. The newest restaurant - one of six locations - debuted this past week, at 304 West 56th Street, near Eighth Avenue. Other locations have gradually expanded past lattes and muffins, but this one leans hardest into dinner with steak frites, grilled salmon,"
"The space still looks like a Grey Dog, Ethan says, with carved tables made by Adrian, bike wheels with license plates, warm lighting. He calls it "a full transition from when we were just a coffee shop," and says opening here has turned into "this crazy homecoming" as former NYU regulars now living uptown come in with their kids and claim it as "our Grey Dog." It's open all day, from 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m."
The Grey Dog opened in 1996 in the West Village by brothers Dave Ethan and Pete Adrian as an eclectic coffee shop. The brand now includes six locations and recently opened a 75-seat, all-day restaurant at 304 West 56th Street in Columbus Circle. The new spot emphasizes dinner—steak frites, grilled salmon, and mac and cheese with fried chicken—and a cocktail list riffing on 1990s and 2000s classics. The space features carved tables by Adrian, bike wheels with license plates, and warm lighting. Hours are 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Holiday gift recommendations include Coffee Project's $55 "A Year in Coffee" box, League of Kitchens small-group cooking classes, and Tenmile Distillery's limited 12-bottle Semiquin Revolutionary Series for $625.
