Tavern on the Green is no longer with us, the casualty of changing times for dining out and a hard recession of 2008 and its lingering years of tight times thereafter. It could no longer survive. Hard to believe a peer of the Russian Tea House or 21 or Le Cirque for sure, truly a finer dining experience than Jean Georges or Aquavit or Per Se in its regal display of outdoor Manhattan that made it such an enchanted place of a new era back in the 70s and 80s. It really shares history with Sylvia's in that it goes back to the 60s. Another great icon of a restaurant that is no longer with us.
But things change and stay the same, in effect waiting for each emotion to return, like the seasons. These tiki lights remind me of leaves about to fall from a tree, as the seasons change, but to re-bloom in the spring into ever-anew tiki lights. Amen.
