Where History Meets Hospitality: Welcome to Clara Restaurant

We’re thrilled to announce the opening of Clara Restaurant at The New York Historical. The newest addition to the Great Performances family, it’s a long-awaited collaboration between some of our most valued partners.

Clara Restaurant is the result of a dynamic partnership between Great Performances, The New York Historical, and celebrated chefs Alex Guarnaschelli and Michael Jenkins. As part of our exclusive hospitality partnership with The New York Historical, GP operates both Clara Restaurant and the Cafe, bringing elevated dining to one of the city’s most iconic cultural institutions.

Working with Food Network star Alex Guarnaschelli—a longtime friend of GP—and Chef Michael Jenkins on this project has been a flavorful collaboration born from a shared love of food and hospitality. Their creative vision and culinary talent have brought Clara to life in a way that beautifully reflects the restaurant’s setting and story.

Located on the lower level of The New York Historical, Clara is a warm, modern American restaurant with a menu inspired by the rhythm of the seasons. The menu is built around ingredients sourced from local green markets and our very own Katchkie Farm, ensuring every dish reflects the bounty of the region with freshness and intention.

Guests can expect vibrant vegetables, responsibly sourced proteins, and thoughtful preparations that let the ingredients shine. The dessert menu offers a unique twist: a different homemade cake each day, showcasing classic techniques and seasonal flavors with a touch of surprise.

Named in honor of Clara Driscoll, the brilliant designer behind many of Tiffany Studios’ most iconic stained-glass works, the restaurant embodies both artistry and elegance—a perfect match for tis home within New York’s first museum.

We’re incredibly proud of this new chapter and invite you to join us at Clara!
