The West Village is known for its trendy restaurants, charming cafes, and incredible specialty food shops.
In our opinion, it's the best neighborhood for food in Manhattan. (Disclosure: we are both West Village residents who might be a bit biased. But still.)
Though there are no definitive boundaries, the West Village is loosely defined as the area that's bounded by 14th Street (to the north), Houston Street (to the south), 6th Avenue (to the east), and the Hudson River (to the west).
From the best burger joints to the best fine dining restaurants, these are our favorite eateries in the West Village.
Best Roast Chicken: Barbuto
Chef Jonathan Waxman is famous for his divine roast chicken and simple yet refined Italian cuisine.
In Barbuto, there's a wood-fired oven for excellent homemade pizzas.
The large and minimalistic dining room feels even more spacious during the summer months when the sliding garage doors open and diners spill out onto tables outdoors.
Best Burger: Corner Bistro
This place is a New York institution that's perfected the art of the burger. The limited menu means that the hamburger is the focus here, and it's served either with or without cheese and bacon.
The unpretentious setting has been untouched since the Corner Bistro opened over 50 years ago.
The bargain prices and cheap beers mean that Corner Bistro is always busy — especially since they don't take reservations.
Corner Bistro just opened another branch in Long Island City.
Best Brunch: Joseph Leonard
Joseph Leonard serves new American cuisine in a small shabby-chic space.
Helmed by restaurateur Gabe Stulman, Joseph Leonard definitely has a cool factor and attracts a hip crowd.
Though they serve all meals, brunch is one of the best times to try the farm fresh cuisine, like avocado toast with eggs or shrimp and grits.
