Experience Olde-World Flavor at Olde New York
Since 1988, we have dedicated ourselves to creating memorable dining experiences rooted in tradition and hospitality. Our journey began with Schnitzels Tavern, where we cultivated a passion for German-inspired cuisine in an old-world setting. After outgrowing our original location, we expanded into the historic Bush House Hotel, embracing diverse ventures like Daniels Bar and a thriving Bier Garten. Though a devastating fire in 2006 challenged us, we pivoted to establish Olde New York, blending Kenny's New York heritage with our love for ethnic flavors.Today, we offer a vibrant menu featuring German favorites and American classics, complemented by a welcoming atmosphere that makes every guest feel at home. Our commitment to quality ingredients, attentive service, and community connection remains unwavering. From our family to yours, we invite you to experience the warmth and flavor that define our restaurant.
