It's a neighborhood institution and for good reason: When Danny Meyer's Union Square Cafe opened in 1985, the Italian-inspired restaurant transformed the local dining scene with its selection of outstanding wines, fresh seasonal ingredients (sourced from the nearby greenmarket), and top quality service. A critical success from the outset, USC has earned three stars from The New York Times and has also ranked first on Zagat's list of New York’s Most Popular Restaurants for nine years.
