January 21st 2015:
The name "Tavern on Kruse" is a perfect fit for what we are doing, but for a lot of people, the name "Tavern" conjures up a smokey, simple bar. Not in our case. We chose the name Tavern on Kruse because a tavern is where people meet, it's where they relax, it's where they have fun. Given that "Tavern on Kruse" is set squarely in the center of our city's concentrated financial district, we decided the name should play upon Central Park's legendary "Tavern on the Green" where deals are made over lunch, stories of the day are shared after work and once the sun has set, unimaginable cuisine is savored by people gazing into each others' eyes.
It's time for me to start "leaking" what Tavern on Kruse will be, and I thought I should start with the most surprising of "tavern" menu offerings: the price-fixed 5 course dinner menu. It isn't your standard tavern fare. But we're not your standard tavern.
