Tuesdays at the Tavern - Wainwright’s Tavern Fall Line Up
Wainwright’s Tavern booths
Wainwright’s Tavern is reviving its popular summer “Tuesdays at the Tavern” where each Tuesday night, the restaurant will offer a special, one-night-only menu, with a festive or seasonal theme. Highlights include an Octoberfest dinner with schnitzel and pretzels, an All-American Fried Chicken night on Election night, and a Black Truffle night.
Wainwright’s Tavern opened in the spring of 2026 as a neighborhood bistro offering delicious food, a great atmosphere, and even house accounts for regulars. Owner Jay Wainwright - the ultimate New Yorker who can trace his Knickerbocker lineage back to Peter Stuyvesant - is on hand chatting with diners, coming up with new menu ideas, and adding to his handpicked playlist drifting from the speakers.
