About the Venue
As renovations began at 38 West 26th Street, we uncovered an unexpected "lucky charm" nestled beneath years of drywall-an illustration of a majestic peacock rendered ivory.

We knew the white peacock, a rare and gentle bird with a powerfully protective nature, symbolized good fortune in certain cultures. And once we recognized this lucky emblem had graced the storied walls of our chosen home-The Ivory Peacock began to take flight.

Perched within Manhattan's Flatiron and NoMad neighborhoods, The Ivory Peacock pays homage to its original location, which boasts 139 years of history as a bona fide neighborhood destination. As such, we pride ourselves on our offerings: distinct, imaginative cocktails complemented by a variety of vibrant shareable plates.

Our cocktail program, led by Head Bartenders Carlos Soto and Daniel Benitez, is filled with seasonal spins on classic cocktails utilizing technical French kitchen techniques and includes our signature Emerald Bar Gin & Tonic' Tray' Service and Signature Sub-Zero Martini Menu.

Full of bright, familiar tastes as well as adventurous flavors, our culinary program is inspired by the vast depth of the ocean and fabled kitchens of France and Japan. Our culinary roster includes a raw bar with fresh oysters arriving daily and a selection of familiar French fare-deemed 'luxe finger food' by our Chef Grayson Altenberg.

Custom banquettes and comfortable stool seating play host to visitors as they sample our extensive collection of quality gins-the largest in NYC-amidst two distinct bar experiences alongside our cocktail dining room experience.

Perfect for a date night, post-work happy hour, a milestone celebration, or any evening you might fancy a cocktail, The Ivory Peacock invites you to think of us as an extension of your very own living room.

We are at your service. And we look forward to welcoming you into our flock.

About Tavern on the Green

Originally designed by Calvert Vaux, Tavern on the Green was built as a sheep fold in the 1880's to house the 200 Southdown sheep that grazed in Central Park's Sheep Meadow. Robert Moses transformed the building in to a restaurant in 1934, as part of his park renovation. Through the next few decades, Tavern underwent several changes in management, but the iconic view of the park, and the addition of a dance floor, outdoor seating, and lavish menu, kept prominent actors, musicians, and public figures coming back to the restaurant to dine, drink, and celebrate.

After a hiatus starting in 2009, the city searched diligently for a new operator to reopen the iconic restaurant in 2013. The city selected current owners and restaurateurs Jim Caiola and David Salama, previously of Philadelphia, who would bring a fresh, welcoming approach to Tavern. The duo renovated the restaurant with inviting décor and wood paneling reminiscent of the original sheep fold, and, with a seasonal menu more reflective of Greater New York, reopened Tavern on the Green in April 2014.
