What goes around comes around. Originally built and immortalized in 1881 by German carousel master carver and builder, Charles I.D. Looff — nicknamed “Wolfie” by friends — the revolving centerpiece of our fine establishment settles between the see and the be seen and somewhere between myth and legend. Wolfie’s Carousel is a singular setting to enjoy a moveable feast with the vanguard of old and new.Known for his intricate and whimsical hand-carved carousels and amusement rides, Charles built over 40 carousels in his time. “Wolfie’s” carousels circled the country from Brooklyn to Coney Island, Rhode Island to the West Coast — his inimitable style of carving captivating crowds and inspiring others. We take the spirit of Wolfie and his carousels and pledge to live a life well traveled, grabbing the brass ring in an evocation of a Paris brasserie. Good food, good drink, and honorable traditions liberated from pretension and restraint, we welcome you to Wolfie’s Carousel.
