Harding's

Located in Manhattan’s vibrant Flatiron neighborhood in an historic turn-of-the-century building, Harding’s offers a selection of artisanal American cuisine and craft spirits, served with a healthy dose of nostalgia. Executive Chef Joel Zaragoza's inspired menu emphasizes fresh, seasonal ingredients with punches of Americana.
Harding’s also offers an extensive American beer and wine menu, as well as an array of classic cocktails created by the restaurant’s expert mixologists. Exposed brick walls, antique mirrors, vintage chandeliers, and an oversized, century-old American flag preserve the rich history of this two-level neighborhood gem.

A James Beard-recognized chef and slow food devotee, Harding’s Executive Chef Ariel Fox pays homage to America’s culinary heritage with menu items like pumpkin pie soup; pan roasted hake with braised pork belly, quinoa, and yellowfoot chanterelle mushrooms; braised beef short ribs with grilled turnips, celery root and potato puree; and whole grilled Atlantic Branzini with white beans and green garlic. Chef Ariel’s “down-home” desserts include Griddle Cake topped with moonshine ice cream and raw maple syrup; banana splits; and warm apple pie.

In addition to its extensive collection American beer, wine, and spirits, Harding’s offers an array of retro cocktails like the Manhattan, Old Fashioned, Sazerac, and classically prepared Daiquiri, all served up in style by the restaurant’s expert mixologists.

Built in 1897, Harding’s resident space retains its historic charm with exposed brick walls studded with Civil War bullets, reclaimed wood floors, and an oversized, century-old American flag. Vintage mirrors and chandeliers hung from 25-foot ceilings that illuminate the spacious main dining room and bar, create an ambiance that is equal parts rustic and chic. With an antique fireplace and plush Victorian furniture, the restaurant’s back parlor is ideal for intimate gatherings, as is the restaurant’s upstairs private dining space, which overlooks the dining room from its perch on the mezzanine.
