The Astor is a $$$ American spot inside The Public Theater, with the practical intel coming straight from a diner: go up the stairs. The room reads like an old library—cherry wood, red leather, a chill mixed crowd—and the bar is called out in the highlighted review, with ice-cold martinis and great bartenders.
The public data is still tight: Google shows a 4.8 rating from 6 reviews, while Blackbird all-time check-ins and busiest check-in days are not available in the provided source data. What is documented is a menu hit list: dangerously good butter, rich steak tartare, a solid Tavern Burger, and Basque chocolate cheesecake called a must.
