Embracing the classic New York aura is the acclaimed The Regency Bar & Grill, renowned as the ultimate destination for the iconic New York ‘Power Breakfast,’ a concept that emerged in 1975 during the city’s financial crisis when Bob Tisch began convening leaders from various sectors for morning discussions on city rejuvenation. This Loews Regency tradition revolutionized business interactions, replacing extravagant lunches with morning meetings. A quintessential dining experience in Manhattan, The Regency Bar & Grill offers guests and locals a prime spot for people watching. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner showcasing American cuisine with fresh, locally sourced ingredients in an elegant, Sinatra-esque ambiance where Manhattans and martins are a staple.
