Where Everybody Knows Your Name

Omar’s: A private resto beneath a village townhouse

You wanna go where everybody knows your name?

And they’re always glad you came?

That takes years, friend, and sometimes liver damage.

Unless you visit Omar’s, the just-relaunched private dining club that’s run by the most accommodating man you may ever meet, accepting member applications now.

Tucked beneath a stately Greenwich Village townhouse, Omar’s is run by Omar Hernandez, former protégé of André Balazs and all-around nice guy.

Omar’s opened last year as a split between public resto and private club. Recently, they overhauled and took it fully members only.

The reason: Omar wants to know the peccadilloes of each and every guest.

And his ability to recall this stuff is, quite frankly, a little spooky.

The subterranean den is gorgeously appointed and typically filled with the type of leggy beauties who make you remember why you live here.

The menu alone would make it very easy to stop eating anywhere else.

The entertainment is top shelf, too. Live music. Literary salons. Masquerade balls.

And a concierge that’ll set you up with Omar’s network of tony haunts across the pond.

Where everybody knows his name.
