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.

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.

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.

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!

The cute little place is downstairs from the "Friends" apartment building. I came in for lunch one day while I was in the area playing tourists in my own city. The restaurant is small and clean inside, and they do offer outdoor dining. They have a limited sized menu with some pretty good options, and the prices are reasonable. I went with the Crispy Bell and Evans Chicken, and it is absolutely delicious. The skin was perfectly crisp, and the chicken itself was juicy. The mashed potatoes with gravy were superb. Service was great here as well. I was expecting your usual tourist trap kind of establishment, but this place exceeded my expectations. It is definitely worth checking out if you are a fan of "Friends" and are looking for a place to dine while in the area. I will stop in again the next time I want to play a tourist again in the area.

Quaint and cozy restaurant located below the building that was used in filming the show Friends. However, you can expect nothing short of a delicious meal at Little Owl. We went for brunch and were able to be seated with minimal wait (you should make a reservation). The food was amazing. The service was outstanding. We had the brioche French toast, pork carnitas enchiladas, grilled & roasted corn and the French fries (chile aioli is amazing).

Loved the branzino. The cocktails are delicious. A bit disappointed by the tomato salad (tomatoes were bland). Fried calamari is mid. Fried duck is mid.

We randomly walked here on a Saturday at 6 ish and were able to get a table with out a reservation outside. Food, waitress, vibes were all on point! The meatball sliders were the best thing we ate. You have to get them, tender, quality well seasoned beef and the sauce was heaven. Jolene got the strawberry drink frizzy and the glass had the coolest little stripper on it! I loved the porkchop, cooked perfectly and juicy. the soy tasting sauce paired well with the beans and lettuce. The risotto was ok, lacked flavor compared to the other items but still good. The waitress was awesome, super good with recommendations and it was such a perfect day!

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 week ago

John’s has forever set the bar for my New York style pizza standards. An establishment almost 100 years old, this is somewhere to prioritize eating at when in NYC. No reservations and no slices, only whole pizzas and a wait that is well worth your time. We got a half half pizza with one side classic pepperoni and the other their special Boom Pie. Both sides were delicious, with a crispy thin crust and plenty of toppings. If you don’t know what size pizza to get, go large. Believe me, you want as much of this pizza as you can get. You’ve got a lot of pizza choices in New York, choose wisely. Choose John’s.
Kenny Kimball II - in the last week

It’s as advertised. The line looks long but only took about 15-20 minutes. Texture of the pizza is incredible as it is super thin but keeps its shape and doesn’t fall apart. Tomato sauce is incredible and a perfect crust you want from a charcoal brick fire pizza. Have wanted to go there for years and was worth the wait. Maybe the best pizza you can find in the country
Elliott Henry - a month ago

Pizzeria is located in a vibrant area within New York. Pizza was good. The atmosphere in the pizzeria was better. There are tables inside and outside the place. Usually is busy and long queue is needed before getting a table.
Leandro - a week ago

John's of Bleecker Street is totally worth the wait and the hype! We got lucky and only waited about 10 minutes before being seated. The food was fantastic, and the ginger ale—being a fan of it—was especially good. They don't offer pizza by the slice, but trust me, the whole pizza is absolutely worth it. It's a bit on the expensive side, but the quality makes it so worth it. The staff were incredibly kind and courteous, and the cozy ambiance added to the experience. Will definitely be going back!

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!

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.
Melissa Perez - 4 weeks ago

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!

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.
Roun Lee - 2 weeks ago

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.

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!

A small, laid-back bakery in West Village with wonderful desserts and the world-famous banana pudding. We stopped by specifically to try their banana pudding, but they also offer a wide variety of other desserts. Each month, they feature a special version of the banana pudding with unique flavour twists. You simply grab the pudding from a small fridge inside and pay at the counter. They provide cutlery and napkins, but that’s about it—there are no tables to sit and enjoy your desserts. The banana pudding lived up to the hype. It wasn’t overly sweet or too rich, and the portion size was just right, making it a perfect quick dessert after lunch or dinner if you’re in the area.
Emre Can Ökten - a month ago

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.

The famous banana pudding is really great. I initially thought there will be a place to dine in but it's okay. All the sweets there are very delicious.

Visit: July 2024 The cafe was nice and had a wide selection of desserts. I wish there was a place to sit and enjoy it though. A little bit pricey for the desserts, but it was good. Got the key lime pie ice box. There was a strong lime taste and the creme was silky smooth. The base did a nice job to balance out the flavours and texture

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 - 4 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.

Fantastic and ever-changing selection of craft beers. Comfort food available and bar get busy so sometimes takes a few minutes to order. Beer in a nice atmosphere is the main thing here.

The Blind Tiger was recommended to me by my son. It did not disappoint. A great selection of craft beers. We also ate the mac and cheese. Great service and not too busy.

Great pasta, decent portions, nice vibes. Good dessert menu as well. Good service doesn’t disappoint. Can be a bit loud and busy during peak hours - tables are placed quite close to each other that the servers have a hard time moving in between and you can hear every word people say.
Karl Park - a week ago

The burrata was DIVINE. The Brussel sprouts and other appetizers were really well done. I liked the pasta, but it didn’t stand out as much. Focaccia was real delightful. We were a big group in the private dining room. Service was too slow. Long periods of waiting, especially for the first set of food. Water replenishment was also a tad slow. The desserts were okay. The presentation of the olive oil cake was tacky. The cookies were cold?? Overall nice spot, cute area, really good food; very good for family style / sharing.
Isabella Grandic - in the last week

A stylish innovative Italian restaurant offering original recipes and presentation of all time classics. Don’t miss the Roasted Chicken, Hanger Steak and Fig and Pear Burrata Crostone. Leave space for the Olive Oil Cake, a must! Service was friendly and classy. Highly recommended!

Loved the food, didn’t love the wait. Worth a visit I think, and will revisit to try their other menus as well but be prepared to wait. We arrived several minutes later than our reservation time, yet had to wait 20min to get our seats, then another 10min for the server to finally notice us (when seating another table next to us) to bring water and menus. But once the food was ordered, everything was much faster. There were a lot of frustrated diners crowding the lobby before and after our meal, who would often check in with the host on the status of their tables, so I don’t this was a one off experience just for us. Also had a glimpse of their system and they pack the table schedules in so tight, with no buffer between seatings. You’re bound to wait here. As for the food, we ordered 2 pastas, 2 appetizers, and 1 glass of wine for lunch, coming at a total of $100 before tax/tip for two. Reasonable for the area and food quality. No complaints on the food whatsoever, it was good portioned and tasty.
Mindy Koh - 3 weeks ago

This has been on my list for so long and happy to say it did not disappoint! Tried out the buccatini and carbonara, and the burratta salad. Salad was yummy, the ingredients were so fresh. I wish we got more of it! The pastas were also great, perfectly portioned and we were able to finish both of our dishes. We topped it off with orange blossom panna cottage cheese and salted chocolate cake, both exquisite. Chocolate cake was not too sweet, although it was kind of heavy after such a carb filled meal haha. Panna cotta on the other hand was so light. Loved it.

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!

This is only our second time here and we really enjoyed it. It was a Saturday so we stood in line prior to opening to ensure a seating at the bar. We wished we could have had more cocktails, but we had an omakase dinner reservation afterwards that we wanted to enjoy to the fullest (with all our taste buds in tact). The cocktails were tasty and the bartenders were terrific. We look forward to returning when we are back in town.

I went to this place with my brother-in-law. We love their special cocktails. It is definitely a great experience. The service was good. We waited a little bit the first time, but when we went there the second time, we didn't have to wait because they know us now :) It's not just a regular bar; their cocktails are always special. The ambiance is cozy and inviting. The bartenders are skilled and friendly. I can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious drinks. The attention to detail in their cocktails really sets this place apart.

Friendly neighborhood bar in the West Village. We've had wings, fries and tried the burger too, all really good. This, together with a great wine and beer selection and an eclectic 80's soundtrack make this a bar we return to time and again.

Quintessential bar in the west village. Props to CHRIS who seemed like a one man machine catering to the endless and somewhat ridiculous drink requests from patrons, never flinched, always accommodating. What’s a guy! Everyone get over here!

We loved popping in here for a drink before dinner. The rustic interior inside is great and our cocktails were fantastic! Our bartender was also extremely friendly. All around a great experience, enjoyed the open windows and doors and would love to come back.

Charcuterie board was amazing. Fries were alright. Drinks were good. Waitress was nice but pushed back a LOT when we asked to split the bill. Every time I come here, the bar is wayyyy too hot. I always have to leave after 30-45min.
