As an iconic piece of the New York dining world, Bemelmans is the kind of place you’ve either been to or have always wanted to go to. And we highly recommend that you do — classics are usually classic for a reason, and Bemelmans is no exception (ordering a martini is never a bad idea). Named for the creator of the “Madeline” books, murals by the same artist adorn the walls and live music is always on order.
