Kramers is an iconic independent bookstore, versatile events space, award-winning restaurant, and illustrious bar — all in one. Since 1976, Kramers has been the quintessential gathering place for friendly locals, curious visitors, highfalutin foodies, happy hour revelers, comedy lovers, jazz experts, authors, intellectuals, and frankly, everyone else, too.
All Day
All Day by Kramers is largely inspired by modern American cuisine with touches of French influence. Our menu is as ecclectic as our book collections, with Breakfast All Day and brunch, Flatiron & Frites, to home-made desserts like Goober Pies and carrot cake.
Enjoy your meal in the solarium, which has been refreshed with greenery and bookish murals illustrating the 49 year old history of Kramer, the outdoor patio or the our renovated bar & lounge.
