Iโve eaten my way through the West Village more times than I can count โ itโs home, and itโs packed with some of the best tables in the city. Here are my top picks and recommendations:
1๏ธโฃ4 Charles Prime Rib โ Arguably the hardest table in NYC. You earn bragging rights if youโve ever made it inside (and tried the burger + fried egg).
2๏ธโฃ The Eighty Six โ The old Chumleyโs + Frog Club spot on Bedford. Same crew as Catch and The Corner Store. Scene? Immaculate. Lighting? Flattering.
3๏ธโฃ I Sodi โ New Bleecker location, same cult pasta. If you know, you know โ and if you donโt, youโll be waiting months to find out.
4๏ธโฃ Via Carota โ Order the salad. Always. The sidewalk tables are basically the Villageโs front row.
5๏ธโฃ Don Angie โ Chrysanthemum salad + lasagna for two. Worth the chaos. Worth the carbs. Worth your entire personality for the night.
6๏ธโฃ Bangkok Supper Club โ The sexiest Thai restaurant youโll ever step into. Think Bangkok energy, West Village polish.
7๏ธโฃ LโArtusi โ Sit at the bar, flirt with the bartender, order the cacio e pepe and olive-oil cake, and call it self-care.
8๏ธโฃ San Sabino โ Don Angieโs seafood-soaked sister. Riviera energy and polished coastal vibes.
9๏ธโฃ Buvette โ Croque madame, espresso, chaos. Still the prettiest brunch in the neighborhood.
๐ Joseph Leonard โ Tiny, charming, and always full of people youโll want to eavesdrop on.
