Tavern on the Green

The historic Tavern on the Green building has been through many transformations through the years. It was home to Central Park's flock of sheep and their shepherd until the 1930s, when it was converted into a restaurant. Until recently, it was one of New York's most famous dining spots.

Tavern on the Green Visitor Center & Gift Shop is currently closed for a complete building renovation. The Tavern on the Green building will reopen to the public in summer 2013. For maps, free guided tours, visitor information and our gift shop, please visit us at the Dairy Visitor Center & Gift Shop located mid-Park at 65th Street, or shop online for souvenirs.
