The Writing Room is a Regional American restaurant on the Upper East Side.

Fifty years since the original Elaine’s opened to droves of celebrities, screen writers, New York notables and locals alike, Upper East Side restaurateurs Michael & Susy Glick have ushered in a new wave for this booming neighborhood with the Opening of The Writing Room. Having planted their feet in this ever-evolving neighborhood more than five years ago with Parlor Steak & Fish (Third Avenue @ 90th Street), the Glick’s were drawn to the property when it shuttered in 2011 and after some careful consideration, chose to embrace the challenge of delivering a formidable new American staple to this wanting neighborhood, while still paying homage to its iconic history.
