NYC restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of Christopher Street - Sheridan Square Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

One if by Land, Two if by Sea has a classy menu, a great history, and beautiful decor that makes it very romantic. I took my girlfriend there for our 3 year anniversary. The restaurant was gorgeous and the decor was perfect for those special photos. The dim lighting created a perfeambiance. The food was incredible. The food wine room upstairs is extraordinary. The only minor issue I encountered was with how small the menu was, at best you will feel satisfied after eating meal. I didn’t care because the food I ate was delightful.” The dessert was special. This is definitely a place you will want to experience.

I found out about this restaurant in the weirdest way ever. I am a paranormal enthusiast, and I was on YouTube watching one of those 'Top 10 haunted whatever in NYC'. Well, this kept showing up as a nice and beautiful place, but they say that women who sit at the bar usually get their earrings taken off. Anyways, I'm not here to leave a paranormal review. I'm here because this place was amazing! I went with my 16-year-old daughter, and we fell in love! We had the pre-fixed meal. Everything was perfect, the food, the atmosphere, our waiter, the music, the piano, the host. I had the beef wellington and my daughter had lamb I believe. I don't remember any of the dishes, but I included the photos in case anyone would like to see them! I will return again one day, hopefully one a day with my future husband.

Fantastic experience and charming ‘old school nyc’ environment and venue for my Anniversary. Compliments to the chef and his team for food creativity. Service very attentive to our table. Highly recommend this restaurant for an event or just a high end dinner out.

Enjoyed a light dinner and dancing on a Tuesday night, and it was fabulous! The small plate of beef Wellington was top-notch! Cocktail was quite good, and the band sounded fantastic!

The best taco shop in the entire West Village, maybe even best in southern Manhattan. Amazing food, drinks, atmosphere and service. Hands down the best steak tacos I have had in any borough. Every time I have eaten here it has been an absolute delight. They even have a $20 happy hour special: Three tacos and a drink and it's well worth the price! Angel works Monday through Thursday and makes the best Mango Margarita (frozen and straight) I have ever tasted. A hidden gem of the West Village that deserves way more credit than it's given.

Quite hidden little place downstairs. Extended happy hour and beautiful tacos and flavored margs! Defo recommend the fish. Miscommunication with the items but quickly resolved and we are very happy. Would recommend. Incredible food, drinks and service 😋

Brunch is the way to go here. The menu is exactly the same as dinner, and you get to pick and choose all the food you would ever want to try for $20 for 90 minutes. For an additional $16, you can have unlimited drinks. We came on St Patrick’s Day where they colored their margaritas green. Service was impeccable and prompt, and all the food was delicious. We had all of the tacos, tamales, and quesadillas. Don’t forget dessert. The churros are a must!

Food and service was exceptional. The atmosphere is loud but it was expected. Little Owl is a cozy, charming restaurant offering delicious, high-quality American cuisine. Known for its intimate setting and warm atmosphere, it serves flavorful dishes with a creative twist. A great spot for a memorable meal!

We spent our Christmas Eve dinner this year at Little Owl and absolutely loved it. The food was fantastic—tender and flavorful pork chops and perfectly grilled sea bass. We finished with brownies topped with gelato, which was the perfect end to our meal. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the limited and pricey wine selection. We wish they had more affordable full-bottle options. We’ll definitely be back!

Little Owl, located in Manhattan’s West Village, is a charming and intimate restaurant that boasts a cozy, neighborhood vibe. Its iconic corner exterior is instantly recognizable as the apartment building featured in the TV series Friends, making it a must-visit spot for fans of the show. The menu is Mediterranean-inspired, with standout dishes like the Gravy Meatball Sliders and the perfectly cooked Pork Chop. The quality of the food is complemented by warm, attentive service and a relaxed yet upscale atmosphere. While the space is small, it adds to the intimate charm, though reservations are highly recommended. Overall, Little Owl is a delightful mix of nostalgia for Friends enthusiasts and an exceptional dining experience for food lovers.

I went with a friend to The little Owl for a Thanksgiving Dinner. The menu looked amazing and to our surprise it was the best Thanksgiving Dinner in a very long time. WOW!! the food SO GOOD, Delicious!! The service & presentation amazing. Our bartender Gilbert was on point the Hosts Jordan & Jack LOVE them. I attached some photos I missed a few I remembered after I polished the dishes, so the Scallops & meatball sliders were awesome cooked to perfection. The wine red & white paired perfectly and the dessert topped it all up. I cant wait to go back!! Brunch anyone :) W/Love Hana

The only reason I took off one star was simply due to its crampedness. That feels a bit petty considering the other aspects of the ambience. It was a very intimate space with friendly and helpful staff. The dishes were well rounded with a bit heavy on the seafood side. I had the lamb shank which was sublime and the sides were ample for sharing. Wine list had a nice variety with plenty of other options available- alcoholic and non. Great hidden gem in the bustling West Village!

My family and I were really excited to try and yes, it was a good pizza restaurant with a standard menu. Staff were nice and they have their line-up rules clear: ❕you sit when everyone arrives. Pizza was thin crust, crispy and not greasy! The classic flavor was good, not too strong or oily, but olives we added were pretty salty. Rice balls were crunchy with melting mozzarella cheese in the middle. 💚🍝Spinach ricotta raviolis were thick-filling. I’m not a ravioli person but I think their raviolis were good and worth the price. The sauce was average. Meat balls were slightly dry. The texture was on the solid side.
Julia Hsia - a week ago

By far the best pizza we have ever had. Grew up in upstate NY so the pizza was always good, tried pizza all over the country and multiple times around Italy (which was the best) before finally making it to John’s. Absolutely blown away, the sauce is the best tasting sauce I’ve ever had. Surprisingly we got right in at a table even with a decent size line. If you’re in NYC it is definitely worth the hype and the wait. Highly recommended.

Johns of Bleecker Street is a very quaint spot where a lot of famous individuals have tried pizza in New York City to our surprise. It’s probably one of the best if not THE best clay oven Pizza joints in NYC! If it’s good enough for celebrities, it’s good enough for me to try and I’m glad we did. Give them a shot if you’re into town for your next trip to NYC!
Anand Daswani - a month ago

John’s was hands down our favorite spot during our pizza crawl! They serve an incredible classic NYC pizza that’s truly unforgettable. The only drawback is that they don’t sell slices—you’ll need to order a whole pie (though it’s definitely possible to finish one solo if you’re really hungry). Overall, I loved the taste and texture of their pizzas and will absolutely be back!
Abdullah - in the last week

I did a lot of research about NYC pizza before going to NYC. I was seeking out the best. John’s on Bleaker kept coming up. I am not super familiar with the NYC subway system but I was determined. I was staying at Hilton Garden Inn New York/West 35th Street. I asked they employee at the door if they sold the pizza by the slice but they do not. That is important because while I sat waiting for my pizza multiple other people came by asking the same thing. A lot of people did the same research and wanted to try this “famous” pizza. My honest opinion. It was pizza. There was nothing that made it any better than other “good” pizza I have eaten before. I wouldn’t go out of my way to get it again.

I made a reservation for dinner on the weekend and was excited by the beautiful decor and friendly service even before we started eating. I ordered a glass of white wine and the truffle pasta. The pasta was cooked to my liking, and the generous amount of truffle was immediately noticeable, making it a delicious dish. My friend opted for the daily pasta, which had a lemony olive oil flavor, and it was also really tasty. We wanted dessert, but after finishing our hearty pasta dishes, we were too full to indulge. 😂 I definitely want to come back for a special occasion next time!

Amazing food, and excellent service. Went there for a late lunch and it was a great choice. It is also very close to Taylor Swift’s old apartment where the song Cornelia Street is taking place. If you are in the area, I definitely would recommend.

Hosted our engagement party here with close family. Everything was perfect - the food was delicious, the service was attentive and flawless, the ambiance was sublime. We were seated on the private terrace and felt like we were transported to a tuscan villa! Francesca and the event planning team were super - the constant communication, attention to detail, and care, was above and beyond. I look forward to hosting future events and regular dining at Palma in the future! This place is criminally underrated compared to its overrated Italian restaurants in the West Village area! Don’t hesitate - dine here or host your event here. You won’t be disappointed.
Caio Goncalves - 4 months ago

Visiting nyc and wanted to try a nice Italian spot. This place is so beautiful and cozy, great for a date night! Food was amazing and I believe their pasta is made fresh! Make sure you reserve in advance because seats get taken very quickly.

Truly excellent gluten-free pasta! Simply can’t recommend this restaurant enough for their selection of gluten free and dairy free appetizers, entrées, and desserts (drinks were wonderful as well). Additionally, the atmosphere was quaint, quiet and cute; a lovely little getaway from the busy city. We were celebrating a birthday and the waiter made the extra effort to make the night extra memorable. Overall a great and delicious experience!

We stopped here a few weeks ago in mid-November on a beautiful and sunny Sunday. The main focus of my visit was the much-talked about banana pudding, but we ordered a few other items as well. There is no seating, so we enjoyed our dessert at a park around the corner. The banana pudding was a great size for the $5 price. Definitely a good amount without going past the "snack between meals" line. It was very good with a whipped texture and prominent banana flavor. It is most likely the best I have had in the north, but the ones down south are hard to compete with. My husband really enjoyed his blondie- I didn't even get to try it - and I sampled the key lime icebox bar. I thought it had good flavor and texture; some tang without overwhelming you. I purchased a (regular vanilla with vanilla frosting) cupcake - also due to the hype - and this was honestly my least favorite of the items. It was "just okay" for me; not bad, but not special either. This location in the West Village is a great additional stop to make if you are walking the neighborhood.

Magnolia Bakery in the West Village is a must-visit destination for anyone with a sweet tooth! I recently indulged in their famous treats, and let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by the warm, inviting aroma of freshly baked goods that instantly puts you in a good mood. The highlight of my visit was definitely their iconic banana pudding, which is creamy, decadent, and simply divine. It’s no wonder this dessert has garnered a loyal following! I also tried their classic cupcakes, and each bite was a delightful explosion of flavor, perfectly moist and topped with rich, buttery frosting. The variety of treats available makes it hard to choose, but everything I sampled was fantastic. Beyond the delicious offerings, Magnolia Bakery holds a special place in pop culture history, particularly for fans of HBO's "Sex and the City." This charming bakery gained fame as one of Carrie Bradshaw's favorite spots, often featured in scenes where she enjoyed a sweet treat while navigating the ups and downs of life and love in NYC. The iconic image of Carrie walking down the street with a cupcake in hand has become synonymous with the bakery, making it a pilgrimage site for fans of the show. The atmosphere in the West Village location is cozy and nostalgic, with a charming decor that adds to the experience. It’s the perfect spot to sit back, enjoy a treat, and soak in the vibrant energy of the neighborhood. Overall, Magnolia Bakery is not just a place to satisfy your sweet cravings; it’s a slice of New York City history that continues to capture the hearts of locals and visitors alike. Whether you're a "Sex and the City" enthusiast or simply someone who loves delicious baked goods, a visit to Magnolia Bakery is an absolute delight!

The OG bakery that never gets old. Each time we visit NY, we make a pitstop here to pick up some cupcakes and they are always amazing! Yes there may be a line but it's worth the wait. Mocha everything! All day!

Delicious banana pudding. The other desserts I got were good but the banana pudding what they are known for was outstanding. Freshly made as well. The servers were friendly and took care of us quickly. They were restocking the display of vans pudding once we got there. I would recommend this place.
Yuki - 5 months ago

Finally tried magnolia bakery in NYC. This location didnt have a very long queue unlike the one at Times square. We easily got through and placed ordered, Banana pudding (that's what most of the people were ordering) chocolate cupcakes and a brownie to go. The pudding was creamy, airy and delicious 😋, didn't try the cupcakes (gave it to friends) I am sure it would be equally good as it looked delicious 😋

Nice spot for a quiet weekday lunch and a beer. Large rotating selection of taps.

Fantastic dive bar/beer spot in the West Village. BIG draft list. Good crowd and staff
Bryan Mullen - in the last week

This is a perfectly serviceable bar to pop into for a couple beers. Their tap selection is vast. Surroundings are fairly basic. The crowd tends to veer towards the younger side. Service from the bar was quick. Lots of space for either sitting or standing. Basically nothing wrong, just a fairly typical pub.

Solid beer bar. Decently sized tap list and had patrons in there during the afternoon. Didn’t try the food but the menu looked good. Even had a spot to charge my phone. Would pop in again if I was in the neighborhood.
Dieter Unrath - 7 months ago

They have a big selection of beers to pick from and I’m glad we stopped by for drinks. The decorations are more on the simpler side, but there’s several tables and chairs. For people who don’t like bitter beers, I’d recommend their half moon mosaic dream ipa or espresso martinis. We will definitely come back to try more drinks and have more of their espresso martinis. They also have a two drink minimum for credit cards. You can keep an open tab for the night and pay before you leave.

One of my favorite spots in the city and definitely the best place for pasta! The ricotta with apple compote butter was super delicious. We enjoyed the hanger steak, a couple of pasta plates and a side of brussel sprouts which were perfect for two. I will be coming back as soon as possible
Juan B - a month ago

Fantastic!! Wonderful pasta, amazing service, incredibly kind staff. A great restaurant to go with friends. We made a reservation 2 weeks in advance for brunch. We enjoyed the arancini, fig and pear burrata crostone and the carbonara. The mushroom ragu was so rich and tasty. Recommend any of the pasta dishes. They also gave us a complimentary brussel sprouts side… wow. Best brussel sprouts I’ve ever had. The staff was very kind and friendly, and extremely accommodating with great recommendations. Highly recommend!

L’Artusi truly exceeded our expectations! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The food was nothing short of spectacular—every dish was perfectly crafted, with rich flavors and beautiful presentation. The service was impeccable as well. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, ensuring we felt taken care of throughout the entire meal. If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience with top-notch food and exceptional service, La Artusi is the place to go. Highly recommended, and we can’t wait to return!

L’Artusi blew me away! Besides having incredible food, the service and atmosphere are also excellent. I had a fantastic time, and our server went above and beyond. The food is more miniature, which means you can order a bunch of stuff and share it around the table. Their pasta and bread are fresh, and their side dishes are well-seasoned. Overall, this is a great find for both lunch and dinner.
Lu Kalache - 3 weeks ago

Went to the renowned @lartusi for brunch and was surprised by how chaotic and busy the place was. First floor was packed from groups of people waiting to be seated or walking in to score a table. Overall, I really enjoyed the pasta because the noodles had amazing texture and the sauces were unique and delicious. I’d be interested to try more in the future, but will probably not be ordering other non-pasta items.

A hidden away gem, easy to walk past. But once you go inside, wooooow. What a bar, reminds me of Harry’s New York bar in Paris. Not only from its simplistic beauty, but also because whilst being several deep from the bar, the bartender is still passing you menus as soon as you come in and taking your orders. Cocktails are expertly served, with flare and precision. I can see why this is voted in the top 100 bars in the world!
Gnawtylist - a month ago

The food is excellent and the service is very good and friendly. The space is very compact, so expect to have your conversations overheard from both tables next to you (inches next). The music from the bar can be loud. If you're looking for a place to have an intimate dinner and conversation, look somewhere else.
Bruno Giorgini - 3 weeks ago

Can't rate their food as I was just here for drinks. Visiting from Toronto, Employees Only was on my bucket list for some time ever since seeing the documentary Hey Bartender. I went on a solo date early evening. At first it was a little intimidating as I was alone and all seats were taken. Luckily a seat became available at the bar and I swiped it. Service was amazing, cockails were spot on. I had the Smoke on the Water, After Midnight and the Yankee Notions. Bartender explained the prep process of all drinks. As a fan of the bar, I ended up buying some merch and he stuffed it with some branded pens and postcards. Definitely gonna make my way back the next time I am in NYC.

It’s probably been 10 years since my last visit here and it’s still going strong. Came on a Wednesday night for drinks after a show and it was pretty packed with about. 15 minute wait to get in. Drinks were nice - they do lean heavily towards shaken cocktails and while not my preference, they’re nice on occasion during warmer months. I had the after midnight which was just a perfectly balanced raspberry and coffee combo. I’ll be back!

It's a beautiful and lively space, but it gets really packed to the point that you may not have a spot to ever sit down if you're just walking in to the bar. Drinks were good.

Cozy spot for some excellent beer and a phenomenal burger. The beer selection was great and we were able to try a few. We went in without any expectations but left with a new go to spot in the west village.

Fun small spot with a good cocktail selection in the West Village. I tried the Firm Handshake, Cucumber Gimlet, hot spiked cider, and orange gold. I would not recommend the hot spiked cider because it wasn’t that balanced but everything else was delicious depending on your liquor of preference. The orange gold was pleasant-better than expected and very smooth but not too sweet. People liked the winter chill, which is very mezcal forward. There is Macallan 10 and 12 here but not 15. The crowd skews younger.

One of the very best burgers in NYC - definitely in West Village (1000x better than Fairfax, sorry!) Have been coming here for years - tonight I really appreciated Collin as my waiter. He was on top of it and very sweet. Thanks Collin! See you soon 😎

I’m sober and still go to Wilfie & Nell. Their Steak & Spinach Salad is the best and most nutritious salad in the city, considering the price and quality. Kevin and Rafael are the best 🫶🏻
