Profile

The "midtown" outpost of the iconic cool-diner restaurant that helped put Old City back on the map is updated with a rooftop bar, swinging chairs and more space for socializing. The food sticks to updated, shareable classics like a sky-high pile of shoestring fries drizzled with a spicy mustard sauce, lobster mac-n-cheese and, for lunch, a veggie-burger that would appease any carnivore. Of course, we'd be remiss to not mention what Continental does best: Serve up creative, heady drinks.
