“The Algonquin has always been a place where imagination and indulgence meet,” said Willis Loughhead, general manager, The Algonquin Hotel. “The Blue Bar Restaurant & Lounge is an essential part of that story. Our new menus build on the hotel’s legacy in thoughtful ways, offering guests something familiar, something surprising, and something that feels unmistakably Algonquin.”

The new menus are currently available daily.

In addition to the new offerings, the menu itself received a makeover. In collaboration with the Al Hirschfeld Foundation, the redesigned menus showcase archival drawings from the artist, a regular at The Algonquin, with a nod to the many characters and personalities of New York City.
