Part of the Union Square Hospitality Group family, The Modern is a two Michelin starred, contemporary American restaurant at the Museum of Modern Art. The refined, unexpectedly playful dishes of Executive Chef Thomas Allan and Executive Pastry Chef Nicholas Henn highlight exceptional ingredients and seasonality, while design plays a major role in every aspect of the dining experience. Inspired by the Bauhaus movement, The Modern was created by architects Bentel & Bentel and offers a welcome escape from the bustling Midtown neighborhood it calls home.


Located within The Museum of Modern Art, The Modern has its own street entrance neighboring Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Center, and numerous hotels and theaters. Its award-winning cuisine, extensive and diverse wine selection, unmatched design aesthetic, and caring hospitality makes The Modern the perfect venue for events up to 100 seated or 250 standing.
