    Rucola Pizza
    Ashley B.

    This place is fine. Open seats at Saturday at 7 pm, so you understand what I mean. Worst espresso martini I have ever had, should have stuck with beer. The pizza and kale caesar were very good, so hence the 3 stars. The Amatriciana pizza is amazing. Otherwise, nothing to write home about.

    Calamari and sliders

    Spacious and chill spot for brunch! We got a couple of drinks and for food we shared the calamari, prosciutto and arugula pizza, sliders and fries. Overall good spot for brunch and plenty of seating! Also saw a lot of birthday parties so great for groups!

    Oh man, it was colder than a witch's (expletive deleted) because it started to hail when Jamie W and I were strolling in Washington Square Park. Yes, hail. Ouch. We were still determined to find some lunch and stumbled into this busy village tavern. Surprisingly, while the back dining room was full, the bar still had open seats, so we took them. Now here's a shocker. We didn't have any booze to warm our bones and went right for the hot food, sharing three plates. First up was the $19 Pugliese Pizza, a bigger-than-average pie for two with a nicely charred crust topped with Italian sausage, chopped broccoli rabe, cherry tomatoes, and fresh melted mozzarella (Photo 8). We thought they could've been a bit more generous with the toppings, but it hit the spot. Pasta sounded good, so we went for the $20 Orecchiette which was mixed with pork & fennel sausage, broccoli rabe, basil, and pesto (Photo 9). Topped with grated Parmesan, it was straight-up homestyle comfort food and fortunately delicious. Our last dish was a side, the pan-roasted $10 Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta (Photo 10). They sure know how to char the sprouts. Savory good stuff. FOOD - 4 stars...delicious Italian comfort food away from the hailstorm AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...more spacious at the bar than you'd expect SERVICE - 3 stars...a bit slowish TOTAL - 4 stars...it's about satisfying our bellies RELATED - Hungry in NYC?

    Some friends and I had dinner here before a show in the area. We arrived early in the evening and the place was packed. The decor was nice and the vibe was energetic. The seating area was a bit small and you were sitting right next to another party. We ordered meatball parm sliders as an appetizer for the table that came in two and each of us were able to eat one. For dinner, I ordered the lasagna and two other friends ordered the penne alla vodka with chicken and the other had sausages. We all enjoyed our meals with no complaints. None of us ordered cocktails agreeing we would be nodding at the show we were going to see shortly after dinner. lol Our server was sweet and friendly. The bathrooms were clean and the attendant in the bathroom had everything you needed when you finished in the restroom so take some dollars for a small tip. lol Overall we had a great time and I would definitely return to check out some menu items.

    Brunch omelette

    Located in the heart of Greenwich Village (a.k.a. NYU territory), Carroll Place is a big, lively restaurant that's fun for a weekend brunch. I went with a few friends on a weekend and we started with drinks at the bar before sitting down for their prix-fixe brunch, which includes 90 minutes of unlimited brunch cocktails for around $38. The food was pretty solid, my omelette was fresh. As for drinks, the mimosas were just okay, and I wasn't a fan of the sangria. But the overall energy was great, the place was packed, the music was loud (in a fun way), and the playlist was solid.Our server was friendly, and there was good service. I'd recommend Carroll Place more for the scene, location, and group brunch vibes than for standout food or cocktails.

    Food: Came here for some unlimited boozy brunch deal! Ended up ordering the burger with the mimosa deal and I could not have been any happier- the burger was delicious and the addition of the unlimited option was one of the better deals I have seen in the city! Cost: Approximately around $40 for unlimited drinks + burger option (I do know it was a slight upcharge for the burger choice out of the entree options). Environment: Fairly large establishment! Was able to have a party of 7-8 fit and be accommodated without any issue. Service: The service was great! Our waitress was always keeping an eye out and making sure our mimosa pitcher was alway full and ready for us to demolish haha Uniqueness: Great place for brunch, especially if you want a boozy brunch with a fun atmosphere and plenty of room for large groups!

    Meatball Sliders
    Karson O.

    Overall: I went here on a Saturday night with my girlfriend. We had a reservation for 8:30. When we arrived, the entry way was packed and several groups with 8:00 reservations hadn't been seated yet and were told to hang out at the bar. We were actually seated right away, but in the upstairs dining room. The food was good, but the upstairs area was basically forgotten by the wait staff and was dominated by another bar area. The food was good, but probably won't be back based on the overall experience. Food: 4 Drinks: 3 Service: 1 Value: 3 Atmosphere: 2 Food: The food was very good, easily the highlight of the night. We got the meatball parm sliders, the lasagna, and the pappardelle. The sliders were pretty unique, with a crushed meatball and a slab of parmesan cheese between a soft bun. The lasagna was very savory and cheesy and came out hot (took an extra 20 minutes, which we were warned about). Drinks: We each got a cocktail. I got the 'You Must Chill' (mix of run and several liqueurs) and my girlfriend got the 'Ding Ding Ding' (spicy marg). They were fine, but nothing special. We each thought they were lacking overall flavor. Service: This part was dreadful. We were seated quickly and had our drink orders taken, but then we were basically forgotten. We had to make a point of flagging down a waiter to order food, get refills, and pay our bill. Even then, they got distracted and needed to be reminded. The point-of-sale software they were using failed at some point, which caused another delay while the waiter tried to fix it. The table next to us took over an hour to order their food. Maybe the issue was that we were in the upstairs area, but it was pretty frustrating. Value: I thought the food prices were reasonable: $15 for the meatball sliders, $22 for lasagna, and $21 for the pappardelle. The cocktails were $15-16 each, which was kind of a lot for how small they were. Atmosphere: The restaurant was dimly lit and decorated with lots of holiday themed touches. It looked promising going in. Again, I think the issue may have been sitting upstairs. The upstairs part seemed like they couldn't decide between being a nice Italian restaurant or a cheap college bar. Our table was half booth; my girlfriend said the bench she was seated on was covered in dirt, as if it was common for people to stand on it to dance. Our specific table was nearest to the bar and we were regularly dealing with people throwing their coats next to us and shouting. The upstairs bathroom door was broken so it didn't latch properly. Lots of potential, but overall not a great experience.

    French Toast Brunch Eggs Benedict

    Went for brunch on a Sunday at 11:30am. Not crowded at all which was great. Food was decent and servers were pleasant. Overall, nothing amazing but not bad place to go if you didn't make a brunch reservation elsewhere.

    Brunch Pappardelle
    David G.

    Same owners as Ainslie in Williamsburg so very similar menu/style. The brunch special was the same with $32 unlimited drinks INCLUDING entree which is great. However service was not great, we were seated for 30 minutes before anyone came and greeted us or anything. We had to ask a busser who our server was and he went to go grab someone. It was good they left carafes for us but food was decent.

    As a dinner spot, there are probably better options out there. As a bar spot to go hang out on a weekend night with drinks and music, this might be the place for you. As for the dinner, the food was ok and service was just blah. The pizzas we ordered were charred all over and soggy. Picking up a slice resulted in the whole thing slipping off and turning into a pile of greasy soggy dough with random pizza ingredients sprinkled all around. The pasta dishes were good but barely enough to call a complete meal for one person. Service was not memorable. We asked for any recommendations and got a dismissive answer. We didn't want to order drinks or appetizers at the time so the waiter got annoyed. He barely showed up to check in on us and just didn't seem welcoming. The best was when he came and gave us the check so we could pay and finally leave this place to get a second meal elsewhere cause this place just did not cut it.

    Chicken
    Janay M.

    We went to this place for a friend's birthday dinner . Upon walking in, the place was really cute! The service started off, shaky. We had a party of 18 and the tables that they gave us was just not picking up to suit our party. We asked to be moved to a different area, but they said they had a bigger party. However, they ended up moving us to that place, which was interesting because I thought they said they had a party. It ended up that they did have a party. We just got there first. I'm glad they moved us because it was definitely more comfortable. The bottom is option was all or nothing but that's pretty typical for a restaurant in the city. We got the some appetizers: - Caesar salad was made out of spinach. Spinach leave the weird taste in my mouth which has nothing to do with the restaurant. The salad was good. -The Meatballs were so good. Not dry and very flavorful. -The Fries were incredible. They had a hint of truffle flavor. They also had a nice bite to them. - The brussels sprouts were cooked well. I wish they were more saucy. - The pizza was floppy but decent. I'm overall not a huge pizza fan but I liked the thinness of the crust. - The penne alla vodka lacked a decent amount of sauce for me. I needed more of that creamy tomato sauce. - The chicken was kind of dry but okay. After like 10pm, the place turned into a club vibe. The music was bumping and it was a nice mix between current and oldies songs. I would recommend!

    Back dining room
    michelle b.

    Fun place, nice ambiance, cool interior. Gets very crowded as it gets closer to noon for brunch. They have large bar area with high top tables, a large back dining room, an upstairs dining room And a covered outdoor seating area. It's a fun environment, but it does get loud, so if you want a quiet place, to have a conversation, this is NOT it! There is a bathroom Downstairs but also a single bathroom on main floor. Menu is larger than it looks and all dishes were nicely presented, good portions and tasty. Lots of vegetarian options. I had the eggs with tomato sauce and polenta which was excellent . Other dishes were good as well, no pics Unfortunately. They have a bottomless brunch, I think for $30, which def seemed worth it.

    Eggs Benedict
    Kirk J.

    The fourth star is definitely for the bottomless mimosa brunch that you can choose mimosas bloodies or sangria. The food was legitimately good though as well. But the Pride can't be beat. $30 includes your brunch entree (which can include pizzas and can also include some other things at an upcharge). I got the eggs Benedict which were a little small but came with fries and a nice looking salad. Girlfriend got an omelette that came with toast, fries and a salad (even though these weren't listed on the menu so it is a full plate you get). Food was good. Mimosas were also good.

Our friends raved about this place and we of course were excited (and a bit skeptical at first) to try it. The concept: no menu + no lights + a few questions = the ultimate cocktail experience. The speakeasy vibe and the dark ambiance really makes this place feel even more exclusive. With just a few tables and the bar setting, you're in for an experience you won't forget (unless you answer the wrong questions and really end up with a drink you don't like HA). This wasn't my case. Of course I described my two favorite things: Negroni + mezcal. The obvious answer would be a mezcal Negroni, but that's not why one comes to a place like Attaboy. Our amazing curator came by to ask us all a few questions, write down a few words in the napkins, and mix up the perfect drink that our master bartender crafts, curates and creates. My drink came as I couldn't possibly imagine. It looked like a Negroni smelled like Oaxaca, with all the smoke simmering up and preparing my sensory experience, leading to the best first sip. Ladies and gentleman, I introduce you to The Devil's Backbone. A perfectly balanced drink I'll never forget, one that is sipped slowly and enjoyed thoroughly. It's sexy, it's smoky it's sipped.

Tucked into the Financial District, this spot blends old New York history with some of the best cocktails in the city--and it's easy to see why it's been named "World's Best Bar" more than once. The name itself has a wild backstory, inspired by a notorious 19th-century Irish-American gang from Five Points. It adds a layer of character to the place, but what really keeps people coming back is the atmosphere and the drinks. The space is split into two levels: a two lively, sawdust-floored Taprooms downstairs and a more refined Parlor upstairs if you're in the mood for a quieter, cocktail-focused experience. Drinks are the real highlight here. The Irish Coffee is widely considered one of the best in the world--rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced with whiskey, coffee, and fresh cream. They also get creative with variations like a frozen version and even an Irish Coffee martini. If you want something different, the "Act Naturally" is a standout, mixing Irish whiskey with Guinness and fig in a way that works. Food is just as impressive for a bar. The lobster deviled eggs (topped with caviar) are a must-try, and the menu leans into elevated comfort food. Overall, The Dead Rabbit nails the balance between historic charm and modern cocktail excellence. The D.R. is one of those places that is never boring and consistently delivers.

    Apotheke was one of my first experiences with a hidden speakeasy a number of years ago, and it…read morestill remains the OG in my vast encyclopedia of experiences. :) Strolling down Chinatown's busy and gritty Doyers Street, looking for any sign of Apotheke is a fond memory, then finally figuring out where it was, and entering through the mysterious and otherworldly threshold resulted a transformative experience that made me feel like I time traveled. Mood lighting, comfortable seating, great drinks in a cozy and Victorian-inspired space are the perfect blend of unique and. I always felt like I was part of something special the few times enjoyed creative, delicious, and strong libations from the pros at the bar. While it has always been pricey, I do feel like the excellent service ambiance, and drink quality warrant this, but may prevent more folks from becoming regulars so to speak. I love the clever and compact bathroom design, too. IYKYK Long live Apotheke!

    Fifteen years later and Apotheke is still one of my favorites!…read more You will walk past this hidden speakeasy several times before finding it. I could tell you to look for the blue beaker sign that says "Chemist" but the better tell is the random guy sitting on a stool outside. He'll be the only person on the street, so no worries about missing him! The menu has changed over the years, but the quality has not. The bartenders are social and personable. And the prices are in line for the area. My bestie and I loved the vibe. One of the best speakeasies she's had the pleasure of experiencing. Don't miss out on this place!

    Serious attitude here. The cocktails were very tasty but the service and vibe were so off-putting,…read moreI will never go back. I made a reservation in person more than 24 hours in advance. I wanted to treat an old friend to a quick birthday toast before a show she was attending nearby. Later that night, another friend became available to join but, because they do not actually have a phone that takes calls (only offers an announcement to go to Resy or email) adding another person was not at all easy. I would have had to cancel and rebook and wasn't sure I'd be able to (reservation was for a Saturday night) In most places, a table for 3 easily accommodates 4. But not here. When two of us arrived, they made it clear this was a big problem. I would have walked out right then but I would have been charged $90! We decided to stay and make the best of it, which was a challenge. For a speakeasy, the vibe was aggressive, not relaxing. Very loud music and not great acoustics.) Too cramped to be comfortable, proving that small does not necessarily mean cozy! We asked if we could take a chair from the table next to us, which was empty (it was only 6 pm; I told our server we'd be gone by 7 because my friend, the birthday girl, had to catch a show.) We were told No! To say the waiter was cold, unfriendly, and indifferent is generous. He was totally rude. He literally told my friend she couldn't sit in a chair that was otherwise empty, knowing we'd be leaving momentarily. Then he had the gail to hand me the bill with a 22% tip pre-selected...and watched over me while I signed it! Definitely the least satisfying $100 I have ever spent. Disappointing. It was good to see my friends, but I so wish I hadn't picked this place. Never again.
