The Independent NYC

Affectionately called ‘The Indo’ by our team, we welcome you to join us in our cozy bit of Midtown.

You’ll find handcrafted cocktails, local beers and approachable wines paired with a creative menu in our snug and stylish space in the Garment District. We’re steps away from Bryant Park, Times Square and the Theater District, which makes us the perfect pit-stop anytime. Whether it's for lunch, a pre-theater bite or post-theater nightcap, afterwork drinks and more, our friendly staff is waiting for you.

Today is . Today we celebrate all the hardworking women throughout the years on our team. Without them, there would be no Stout NYC Hospitality Group. It started with Maggie Whelan at Maggie's Place in 1974. The old saying "behind every great man is a great woman" should read "next to." Maggie wasn't standing behind anyone. Neither is Gail, Noelle, Shinobu, Tara, Ciara, Kerry, or Vicky and those are just the partners! Working alongside them are many more great women in the roles of general managers and associate managers. Thank you all!

Before the New York Public Library stood watch over Bryant Park, the massive Croton Distributing Reservoir stood 50 feet high on the very same site, providing fresh water to much of New York City and a beautiful view from the promenade. Make sure to stop by the Independent for a taste of modern New York after visiting the library!
