  • Truly one of New York City's greatest restaurants, 21 Club (www.21club.com) has been providing excellent food and drinks to the city's biggest stars for almost 100 years. From Sinatra to Nixon, from A Rod to Mickey Mantle, they all dine here. I had a special dinner, dining at table 21, followed by a tour of the restaurant's secret, Prohibition-era wine cellar and private dining room.

    My daughter went to NYC for her 21st birthday and I made a reservation at 21 for her. Being young she didn’t know the history, she didn’t go. I had to pay a fee of course. I was so disappointed…because I really was the one who wanted to be there. 😀

    Wow--interesting restaurant--nothing like I imagined. The wine cellar and accompanying stories about it were amazing--love the ingenuity of creating the cellar during Prohibition. (Thank goodness I wasn't around during Prohibition!) I'll try to check out the joint when I'm in NYC next month.

      I don't think they can stay open, but I think there is a good chance they will reopen when the world returns to normal. It's just too expensive to keep it going on take out.
