Reviews of West Village + TriBeCa Restaurants

75 Washington Place between MacDougal and Sixth Avenue 212/539.1776 about $300 for two tasting menus and matching wine, with tip ♥ ♥ The Dr. assured me that he passed his two-day long board exams. He won’t find out for sure for another three weeks, but I decided to prematurely congratulate him anyway. He’s always been…

466 Hudson Street 212/741.6479 about $45 for three dishes, with two beers, with tip ♥ With four locations in the city, my favorite is the one on Hudson Street in the West Village. Petite Abeille is known for their mussels. On Wednesday nights, you can eat all the mussels you want for about $20 with…
-
In the park on Bleecker and Hudson no phone number $13 for two hotdogs, one asparagus and a drink ♥ Right behind the playground on Hudson and Bleecker and steps away from the long lines outside Magnolia Bakery is a small hotdog stand with an expensive flair called the Dogmatic Gourmet Sausage System. The flair…
-
29 Bedford Street corner of Downing 212/633.0202 about $100 for 5 people, with drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ It’s appropriate that Landmarc’s owners named Ditch Plains after the famous stretch of beach in Montauk, Long Island. While the Hamptons-style crowd mingles at Blue Ribbon and at Mas across the street, the laid-back type is inside…
-
508 Greenwich Street off Spring 212/219-2444 ♥ ♥ Giorgione is a jewel of a place found in the transforming neighborhood of Greenwich Street and the West Side Highway. It reminds me of the delis in Europe where locals eat and drink wine in the middle of the afternoon or leisurely enjoy coffee with a pastry.…
-
45 Bond Street between Lafayette and Bowery 212/529.8600 $120 for two, with 3 drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ It was a Monday night and Mercat has only been open for three days, yet the decibel level made it seem like it was a Thursday night. The place is packed; the white tiles immediately reminded me…
-
333 Hudson Street corner of Charlton 212/633.9333 $300 for fifteen without drinks, with tip ♥ Update, 2008: Dani is now closed and only available for special events. Dani looked promising as soon as we walked in. Its space on Hudson is so airy and spacious, it made me wonder why other restaurants just don’t move…
-
34 Downing Street off Bedford 212/691.0404 $86 for two with four beers and a glass of wine, with tip ♥ ♥ ♥ So there’s Blue Ribbon Sushi and Blue Ribbon Brasserie on Sullivan; the Blue Ribbon Bakery on Bedford and Blue Ribbon Market around the corner. Of course, there’s the other brasserie in Brooklyn. I…
-
139 Duane Street between Church and West Broadway 212/571.8880 $80 each for ten, with a lot of drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ ♥ Updated, December 2008: The Dr. and I returned for Christmas dinner and it was still the same hearty and filling food for half the New York City price. After two bottles of…
-
39 Downing Street off Bedford 212/255.1790 about $255 for four, with several drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ ♥ I reserved the bar for four people at 7:30pm and because it was before prime dinner time, we were seated right away even though it was a Friday night. We sat elbow to elbow, looked at each…
-
64 Charles Street on West 4th 646/486.2185 about $200 for four, with two bottles of wine, without tip ♥ ♥ ♥ For a restaurant that wasn’t selected by me–I met friends from out of town there–I was really surprised at how good our meals were at Mary’s Fish Camp. I’ve been to Pearl Oyster Bar…
-
643 Hudson Street between Gansevoort and Horatio Streets 212/352.3590 about $70 for two, with three drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ Chef Zak Pelaccio is my kind of guy because he would fry pork belly until it’s crispy and serve it with watermelon chunks and its rind, pickled. The result is a delicious balance of saltiness…
