How Union Market's New York Spinoff Restaurants Compare
Briefly

In late fall, restaurateur Keith McNally expanded his New York culinary empire by opening a replica of his renowned Minetta Tavern in Washington, D.C. Located near his other venture, Pastis, this new restaurant brings a taste of New York’s vibrant dining scene to the Union Market District. Minetta Tavern, originally established in 1937, has been transformed by McNally into a contemporary dining hotspot characterized by its striking design, inviting atmosphere, and a menu that combines classic steakhouse fare with French brasserie influences. The appeal lies in its rich history and modern elegance.
"The first Minetta Tavern opened in Greenwich Village in 1937, drawing a writerly crowd (Hemingway, Pound). McNally took it over, gave it a makeover, and relaunched it in 2009 to rave reviews from critics."
"Nobody does restaurants as set pieces like McNally, and this location... impressively feels as if it's been around forever."
