Looking for a slice of Old New York amid the midtown madness? Tucked away just steps from Rockefeller Center and Radio City Music Hall, the 3 West Club offers a dining experience that feels like stepping back in time. This historic gem on West 51st Street houses a charming restaurant within what was once a women’s club, now on the National Register of Historic Places.

Step inside and you’ll find a warm, intimate space complete with a fireplace and grand piano – the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle outside. The 2M Pub and restaurant serves up what reviewers call “classic upscale American pub grub” that’s “fairly priced and excellent,” with dishes prepared from fresh ingredients that satisfy comfort food cravings without breaking the bank.

What makes this spot truly special is the atmosphere – quiet and private, with tables spaced generously apart, creating an ideal setting for intimate conversations or discreet business meetings. The hotel itself has been described by guests as having a “small, intimate atmosphere” that feels more like someone’s elegant home than a restaurant in the heart of Manhattan.

The service strikes that perfect balance of attentive without being intrusive, allowing you to savor both your meal and your company.

For those seeking a peaceful dining haven with classic New York character, where you can actually hear your dining companions speak while enjoying well-executed comfort foods, the 3 West Club delivers a refreshingly civilized experience in one of the city’s most bustling neighborhoods.
