The Frederick

What is The Frederick? Anchoring the ground floor of the 1890s Dineen Building at 10 Temperance Street, The Frederick is chef Cory Vitiello's casual, street-level counterpart to rooftop sibling The Chase. Named after the heritage landmark's original architect, the 95-seat space pairs warm toffee woods and chestnut leather banquettes with brass fixtures, an energetic central bar, and a streetside wrap-around patio.

The Frederick Menu & What to Order Vitiello channels elevated tavern classics with precision, headlined by the celebrated return of his legendary Harbord Room burger. Table staples include the bubbling spinach artichoke dip, crisp buttermilk fried chicken, and handmade pappardelle tossed with braised veal cheek. Wash it down with a razor-sharp classic martini or a pour from the balanced wine list, saving room for the oversized Fred's Sundae Pie or coconut tres leches cake.

Know Before You Go Weekday lunch and post-work cocktail hours fill rapidly with the Financial District crowd, making advance table reservations through OpenTable or their website wise for larger groups. Solo diners and duos can reliably find bar stools or patio tables with short waits outside peak rush windows. Queen and King subway stations are both a short two-minute stroll away, with doors opening at 11:30 a.m. on weekdays and 4:00 p.m. on weekends.
