Iâve eaten my way through the West Village more times than I can count â itâs home, and itâs packed with some of the best tables in the city. Here are my top picks and recommendations:
1ď¸âŁ4 Charles Prime Rib â Arguably the hardest table in NYC. You earn bragging rights if youâve ever made it inside (and tried the burger + fried egg).
2ď¸âŁ The Eighty Six â The old Chumleyâs + Frog Club spot on Bedford. Same crew as Catch and The Corner Store. Scene? Immaculate. Lighting? Flattering.
3ď¸âŁ I Sodi â New Bleecker location, same cult pasta. If you know, you know â and if you donât, youâll be waiting months to find out.
4ď¸âŁ Via Carota â Order the salad. Always. The sidewalk tables are basically the Villageâs front row.
5ď¸âŁ Don Angie â Chrysanthemum salad + lasagna for two. Worth the chaos. Worth the carbs. Worth your entire personality for the night.
6ď¸âŁ Bangkok Supper Club â The sexiest Thai restaurant youâll ever step into. Think Bangkok energy, West Village polish.
7ď¸âŁ LâArtusi â Sit at the bar, flirt with the bartender, order the cacio e pepe and olive-oil cake, and call it self-care.
8ď¸âŁ San Sabino â Don Angieâs seafood-soaked sister. Riviera energy and polished coastal vibes.
9ď¸âŁ Buvette â Croque madame, espresso, chaos. Still the prettiest brunch in the neighborhood.
đ Joseph Leonard â Tiny, charming, and always full of people youâll want to eavesdrop on.
