The Modern restaurant, located at MoMA, features French-American cuisine. It belongs to the Union Square Hospitality Group, which has a dozen other restaurants including Gramercy Tavern and Union Square Cafe. We wanted to try either Gramercy Tavern or The Modern, both holding a Michelin star, and picked the latter so that we could combine our meal with a visit to MoMA.
