American Brasserie NYC
The Smith is a casual American Brasserie with two upbeat locations in New York City: The Smith East Village, overlooking bustling Third Avenue and The Smith Midtown, in the heart of Manhattan, located on 51st Street and Second Avenue. The East Village location has served as a casual and lively meeting spot since its opening in fall 2007. The Smith Midtown, since opening in the Fall of 2011, follows suit offering value-priced, seasonal American brasserie fare.

Utilizing local products and purveyors, the breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner menus feature a selection of familiar bistro dishes. Signature dishes at both locations include Crispy Fried Calamari “Brooklyn Style,” Pot of Mussels with chardonnay-dijon broth and perfectly cooked hand cut fries and four different cuts of steak prepared char broiled, served with a choice of homemade sauces including béarnaise, green peppercorn and chimichurri. Most of the desserts are served as sundaes and include everything from the Pink Pussy Cat, a mix of strawberry ice cream and chunks of red velvet cake, to the classic Birthday Cake, yellow cake served with fudge frosting and vanilla ice cream.

Our bars offer an elaborate menu of classic and signature cocktails made with fresh fruit and herbs. We serve seven local hand crafted beers on tap and have a selection of 20 wines available by the glass or carafe as well as a hand selected bottle list.

The crowd at The Smith is eclectic, attracting after-work colleagues, late-night revelers, families for Sunday brunch and more. Our guests come for all occasions – a drink after work, a quick bite before a movie, a business dinner, or to celebrate a birthday.

Offering private event rooms, both locations are perfect for everything from corporate functions to baby showers.

The Smith is owned and operated by Jeffrey Lefcourt and Glenn Harris of Corner Table Restaurants, who also own and operate their American bistro Jane on West Houston Street.
