In November of 2021 Gotham reopened with new owners for the first time since 1984. After closing for 18 months during the pandemic Gotham came back with an updated name—trading “Bar and Grill” for “Restaurant”— a redesigned interior by its original architect James Biber and a new menu with longtime former pastry chef Ron Paprocki in the role of executive chef. Historically decorated with an unprecedented six three-star New York Times reviews Gotham’s new owners—former Managing Partner Bret Csencsitz and environmentalist Kevin Conrad—sought to honor this legacy while ushering Gotham into a greener more mindful era. Filling the restaurant with books music and art to complement its world-class dining Csencsitz’s stated goal is to make Gotham “the most meaningful restaurant in New York.” Arts and dining programming from evening jazz to exclusive wine dinners make Gotham a vibrant ever-evolving destination like the city it calls home.
