Old Homestead Steakhouse – 40-Day Dry-Aged Rib Steak for Two
Had a genuinely great experience at Old Homestead Steakhouse. We ordered the 40‑day dry‑aged rib steak for two, medium rare, and it was cooked absolutely perfectly. The beef itself was so flavorful and tender that we didn’t feel the need for any extra sauces or seasoning – it really stood on its own.
For sides, we tried the hash brown with egg, which was something different and a fun, satisfying twist compared to the usual steakhouse sides. The salad was fresh and well done, a nice balance to the richness of the steak. Overall, it was a fantastic meal and a very enjoyable experience – I’d happily come back for that rib steak again.

My husband and I went to dinner here on Sunday night and had the absolute best time. Our server, George was so kind and knowledgeable. He made us feel right at home. The food was fabulous, service impeccable, will absolutely come back when we are in town next time.

I went fully expecting to order their special Thanksgiving dinner menu but when offered the full menu I decided to forego tradition this year. The mozzarella di bufala and tomato salad made a perfect start, and the bacon-wrapped filet did not disappoint. The 20oz burger and prime rib were equally enjoyed by others at the table.

If you are looking for a classic historic steakhouse, this is it. Funfact: this place started the doggybag aka take home bags.
Every steakhouse i go to i always order a French onion soup. I love how there was on a pureed level and it was perfect! The steakhouse on the other hand, if I had room I my belly for one more i would of ate another one. Juicy, a nice wood smoke taste and perfect seasoned! Oh forgot to mention, hashbrowns with the fried egg on top, a must if your craving a steak and eggs kinda vibe.

Second time here and everything was amazing. We came here for brunch and had: halloumi, hummus (so good), babagsnush (could have done without) grilled cheese (a little too salty), shakshuka, the TLV breakfast and tiramisu. Everyone loved their dishes. Will return when in the neighborhood.

Food was delicious! We like everything part of it ! It is NYC price...
Good service: discret and well done.
Wine list is limited but we found one that is great
Good was delicious: small plates, main are worth it. Not blown by the dessert.
Definitely a place we can come back

I wasn't mindblown by the food. I had the overnight lamb and the halloumi pesto. Service was very good, especially since it was packed. My drink was on the house to apologize for the wait.
The overnight lamb is a lot and you could absolutely split it with someone !
I really did not think the arak was worth the price, personally. Maybe it's just not for me

I had an amazing Middle Eastern dinner at Zizi in Chelsea.
They have a martini happy hour from 3:30 - 6:30 so we started off with a lemon drop martini and a luxardo cherry martini.
For appetizers we had the fennel confit with labneh, tempura artichokes, and grilled cabbage with a salad of snow peas, asparagus & arugula with a tahini dressing. For our main course, the grilled branzino.
Everything was delicious and the service was excellent! A special shout out to Orin and Maria.
The one downside is that by 7pm, the restaurant gets very crowded and loud. I will definitely go back, but a lot earlier!

We visited this restaurant as a group of five after hearing some great things about it. We ended up ordering a variety of dishes to share and were excited to try everything. Overall, it was a nice experience ,a few of the dishes really stood out, especially because they had a comforting, home-style flavor. I personally appreciated that the seasoning wasn’t too salty, which made everything feel a bit more wholesome.
That said, there were two or three dishes that tasted a bit more average and didn’t leave much of an impression. (ceviche and falafel) They weren’t bad, just a little underwhelming compared to the rest.
The atmosphere of the restaurant was decent,nothing too fancy, but warm and casual, which worked well for a relaxed night out with friends.

Manager Nicholas always takes the time to greet and connect with customers, even making the effort to learn your name. If you are a returning guest, he truly makes you feel like family. He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure all expectations are met and that every guest feels welcome and appreciated. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is great, and the ambiance is incredible with wonderful music that makes the experience even more enjoyable.

I had a wonderful brunch at Cafeteria. We lucked out with parking right in front of the restaurant and were seated right away. The food was excellent. The Crispy Rock Shrimp was the highlight of the meal and one of the best versions I have ever had. We also ordered the Truffled Eggs, the Eggs Benedict, the Rude Margarita, and the Blood Orange Margarita. Everything was fresh and full of flavor.
Service started off a little uneven because our first server was not the friendliest, but thankfully Gino took over and completely changed the experience. He was warm, attentive, and very kind. His service really made the visit memorable.
Overall this was a great brunch and I would definitely return the next time I am in New York.

Stopped in while waiting for someone. It happened to be happy hour. Lucky me. I wanted to try a lychee nut martini, 2 mini tacos, and polenta fries which i never had. Friend running late so ordered more 2 more tacos and a vodka martini. Drinks and food were very good. Servers were friendly and fast. My only regret is I didn't get polenta fries to go.

Cafeteria is a great spot! The atmosphere is so welcoming, and my server was very friendly—a great experience from start to finish.
The food is outstanding! The Lemon Ricotta Pancakes were so soft and light, they made me do a little happy shimmy with each bite! 🥰 Highly recommend pairing them with the Blackberry Lime Soda; the tartness was the perfect, refreshing way to complete the meal. My only regret was that I couldn't eat it all at once.

Came for the famous burrito, it was good, loved the tater tots inside and fluffy eggs, felt like it needed some more flavor and maybe needs some toasting.
Having said that, it’s a really cute place with some outdoor seating and very nice and friendly service!

Nice quaint spot to get your morning fix. Oat milk latte with some cinnamon and a very intriguing breakfast sandwich. Egg, mushroom and goat cheese great flavor. If you are walking by give a shot, if you live in the neighborhood make it a staple.

Was recommended the breakfast burrito but I was left disappointed.
The avocado could have used more salt + acid, and it was all lumped in the center, good quantity though.
I think there was only like 2 slices of bacon and 3 tater tots in it.
The burrito could have been toasted / griddled IMO for the price ($15.5).
It is nice that the default price doesn't include meat though.

A true speakeasy experience. We just went for a after-dinner drink but would love to go back for the entertainment. The vibe is retro and the service attentive. It wasn't very crowded when we arrived but I could imagine the small space might get overwhelmed later in the evening. Drinks were tasty, especially the BTG espresso martini.

Bathtub Gin was hands down the highlight of our entire NYC trip and honestly one of the most magical nights we have ever had!
The burlesque performance left us absolutely mesmerized. Jaw-dropping talent, incredible energy, and pure entertainment from start to finish. We were completely swept away!
The cocktails were phenomenal. The Drop a Dime Collins and Don’t Take Wooden Nickels were so beautifully crafted that every sip felt like a little celebration. And the Swiss Chard and Feta Pies? Oh my goodness, delicious doesn’t even cover it. We were fighting over the last piece!
A huge shoutout to our server Enrique who was warm, attentive, and genuinely made us feel so welcome all night. He made a perfect night even more perfect.
If you are visiting NYC and skip Bathtub Gin, you are truly missing out. This place has soul, charm, incredible drinks, and an atmosphere that transports you to another world. We will absolutely be back and we are already talking about it days later. Do yourself a favor and just go!

Popped in for a drink as the name caught my eye. Ambiance wise its a tight spot that gets loud so if you're looking for something more relaxing, or intimate I would not recommend this spot. Their drinks are okay, but they do have a nice selection of gin, however I would of hoped to have more of a variety in their cocktail menu that extended well into their very diverse gin menu. They do have a mandatory coat check, which I think its a good call considering it gets crowded. Overall the decor was nice, but unfortunately was not a huge fan of the spot as it felt it was more emphasized in the decor rather than the cocktail experience as a whole.
Kevin Torres - 4 months ago
Stop. Put this spot on your list as a must-visit. This is one of my favorite bars in Manhattan. The drinks are on point, the staff is exceptional at everything and the vibe is super chill. The bouncer got us in quickly, we got our drinks in short order and when a table opened up, one of the servers actually came over to us to get us seated (even though we weren't technically waiting for a table!!!). There was a DJ there when we visited, who was excellent. It was busy but never got overcrowded. The cocktails were delicious. Can't wait to go back.

A truly special hidden gem! We stopped by Bathtub Gin before heading to a comedy show, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. From the moment you step through the secret entrance through the coffee shop, you’re transported into a warm, dimly lit space with vintage charm and great energy.
We shared a few cocktails, their Charcuterie Board, and the standout Kimchi Croquettes. Perfectly crisp on the outside, with a fried kimchi emulsion and house miso sauce that was chef’s kiss. Every bite was packed with flavor.
The co-ed bathrooms and shared sinks add to the unique vibe, and the space itself is both spacious and intimate, making it ideal for a relaxed pre-show meal or late-night drinks.
If you love speakeasies, great cocktails, and inventive bites, this is a must-visit spot next time you’re in the city. Highly recommend!

This place has a special place in my heart. Ive been a frequent visitor ever since 2013. Back then Alexis was a bartender there, now she manages the place. And she, hands down, gets at least half the credit of the charm and welcoming cozy atmosphere that lures me in every time. It's a bar, simple, yet quarky, love the backroom with couches and paintings constantly being rotated. Except for one - the last supper with the iconic ppl - the trademark of the place. 😁

I've come here twice now and it's a pretty reliable spot for a night out in the West village! The inside of this bar is a bit small but there are plenty of booths for you to sit with friends, and the service here is quick and friendly.
I've gotten both their drinks and food and both were pretty decent. The drinks were on the stronger side, and they have a good variety of cocktails and good drink deals. Their food was also solid and enjoyable with friends. Great spot if you're looking for something open late on a weekday!

Hands down, this is my go-to bar in the city. The happy hour specials are solid, but I usually skip straight to their martinis since that’s where they truly shine. The peanut butter espresso martini is next-level and worth coming back for on its own. Add a plate of crispy curly fries and you’re set for a perfect night. The staff is warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive, which makes the experience even better. It’s a popular spot, especially with groups, so planning ahead is smart, definitely book a reservation if you’re coming with a crowd. This place never disappoints and always delivers great vibes, great drinks, and great service.

One of my jobs frequent after work spots. We all love to come by and enjoy some drinks there. Aside from it being the best after work spots. We absolutely enjoy the staff. From the servers to the bartenders. One of the most notable ones that I get to see during my usual visits in the weekends is Saraphina. She is lovely and professional at the same time. The usuals love to see her behind the bar for her friendly and hospitable approach. Thanks for having the CW staff all the time!

Great experience here, close to two major subway lines nestled in a great location. Cozy and welcoming interior with attention to detail created a nice ambiance.
Friendly hostess, was able to sit us near the end of happy hr. Waitress was very friendly and attentive to our needs- she even let us order a second round of drinks before our first round arrived (since happy hr was ending). This type of hospitality is much appreciated.
My friend ordered the olives, pan de tomate with jamon, tortilla de patata and mixed croquettes. I ordered the croquettes and empanadas which were filled with spinach and cheese.
I was absolutely blown away by the presentation and flavors infused into each dish! Incredible value for the quality we received.
I had the Rosalita drink which was tasty and the red sangria which came as a very nice portion.
Highly recommended! Very authentic and friendly.
Indoor and outdoor seating was available (mid October was my visit).

Upon early arrival, we were seated at the communal table. I ordered Vermut and olives . The olives were some of the tastiest olives I've had. Appetizers were Pan con Tomato and Serrano ham croquettes. The flavors were outstanding. We shared a seafood paella which was both tasty and authenticity presented. Our dessert was a beautifully presented light and not to sweet. To wrap up the dinner, I ordered two double espresso which were good. The service was friendly, professional and efficient. The atmosphere was electric. You could feel the energy. Reminded me of the Tapas bar in Barcelona. It was noisy because the place was packed. If you want great tasting and authentic Spanish food , highly recommend this restaurant.

I really loved the food here.
The jamon Iberico was perfectly fatty, the anchovies were plated really nice and tasty, the patatas bravas were an instant classic.
I also loved the empanadas with how juicy, crispy, and large they were.
The paella also was the right amount for 3 people with a small - the rice wasn’t overly crispy which I find to be the case with most other paella.

We ordered the Lomo Saltado ($30), Shrimp and Grits ($28), Mofongo Con Constilla ($30), Churrasco ($29), Steak Frites ($32), Ceviche ($17), and Dulce De Leche Pancakes ($17). Almost every dish was amazing, but the lomo saltado is the star of the show. The combination of the beef short rib, onions, tomato, and fries along with the sauces is perfect. The beef is extremely tender and the dish is super flavorful. It’s worth going to Coppelia just to eat the lomo. For brunch, the shrimp and grits is really solid too, but a bit pricey for just four shrimps. The pancake was amazing too. For the dinner entrees, the churrasco and steak frites are also really good. Coppelia does a good job on all their dishes and I’m a huge pan. Overall, I would 100% recommend this place.

Had a gift certificate so decided to try brunch here. Sat at the bar easily on a Sunday morning around 10am, no wait. Food is fine - could be hotter. Had to flag waiter down a few times for more coffee and check. Definitely some character customers in here since they are open 24 hours (people ending their night here - still drunk). Not blown away, don’t think I’ll come back.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE, i am absolutely coming back here again. we ordered the shrimp and grits, oxtail empanada, mofongo w the beef, and the dulce de leche milkshake. the shrimp and grits was out of this world, so creamy and delicious, the grits reminded me a little of mashed potatoes. the oxtail empanada was much smaller than i thought, but really nice flavors and the crispy plantain on the bottom was to die for. the beef in the mofongo was so so tender and delightful, it basically melted in my mouth, I would highly recommend. the mofongo also was so flavorful and had a nice kick to it! the milkshake was nice, not my favorite idk what i was expecting but it was lovely and sweet. they also only have fufu and oxtail during dinnertime so keep that in mind, i definitely got to come back to try that next time!! also the service was outstanding, very kind and welcoming staff. when i went in for a table, they originally only had seating at the bar and a table would be a 15 min wait so we just decided to sit at the bar, but later the kind gentleman notified us that a table had just opened up and they helped us get acquainted. it got a bit loud at some point but thats to be expected in such an amazing restaurant where people come to enjoy some good food. overall an outstanding experience and i am so excited to come again soon

This took me back to early New York. It’s set is the beautiful Cuban diner, with a classic diner touch and a Cuban flare. The food was perfection. I had the Salmon with purple mashed potatoes. My date had the Lomo Saltado. I had a wonderful Dulce De Leche milkshake and my date had the Sangria. I also had an oxtail empanada that was made like I landed in Cuba. The atmosphere alone would make you stay, but the food will make you linger. The Mojito is one of the best that I’ve had in the city. My new favorite spot.

This place is an absolute hidden gem! Staff are fantastic, food is pure earthy goodness, and while the spot is somewhat in need or a refurb, its remarkable charm cannot be denied.
If you want delicious comfort food, with an authentic British vibe — this is it. We go as often as we can… they take walk-ins but it’s a small place so it fills up easily. Consider making a reservation if you’re taking out of towners or it’s a special occasion.

Tea & Sympathy in New York City is a absolute gem for anyone who loves authentic British charm. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with warmth and a cozy atmosphere that feels like a little piece of England tucked away in the city. The service is impressively fast! Despite being a small and intimate spot, it adds to the charm and makes the experience feel personal and special.
The food is okay, offers a classic British comfort dishes if you are wanting a taste of Britian. Whether you go for their fish and chips, shepherd’s pie, or afternoon tea, everything is British inspired. The variety of teas is another highlight, with countless options to choose from, each offering a distinct aroma and taste that pairs wonderfully with the menu.
Located in a convenient and lively part of the city, Tea & Sympathy is easy to get to and well worth the visit. Because of its small seating size (inside) and popularity, I highly recommend making a reservation to guarantee a spot. Overall, it’s the perfect place for a relaxing meal, a cup of tea, and a taste of true British hospitality.

I had afternoon tea and it was absolutely fantastic. The tea was delicious and the treats very filling. The savory sandwiches were wonderful, as were the sweet treats. The restaurant was the perfect cozy spot on a rainy winter day, though very small. Great way to start my trip to NYC!

I moved to NYC in 1995, from the United Kingdom, good ol’ blighty. Terribly homesick at first for my friends and family, my friend suggested going to Tea & Sympathy and we then became regulars for Sunday lunch (a roast dinner of course or a cream tea!). We often spotted celebrities there. Rupert Everett was there many weekends (when he was much younger like we all were) and his dog fell asleep on my foot. It was such a fun place to hang out, always bustling and hard to get a table though. Nicky built a homage to vintage Britain, with fun old fashioned china, teapots, shelves of shabby chic nostalgic ephemera like old Royal Wedding cups, thimbles and keepsakes. It’s a delight for both your eyeballs and stomach.
A few years ago I took one of my kids, we went to the village to attend a service in honor of Queen Elizabeth II’s death. I knew we’d need to finish that day with Tea & Sympathy. Much to my surprise it hadn’t changed much, and Nicky is still working her tail off! Goes to show the work ethic on that lady! She could have retired years ago… clearly she loves it so much.
It’s a charming place to visit in the heart of Greenwich village.

It’s a small place, and all about its rules, to the point when Three of us sat down at the only table available, they threatened if a fourth shows up he won’t be able to sit down. Now this is a shame to start your meal in this way especially as the steak pies were delicious, and even had an English, London Pride beer.

It had been a while since I had the pleasure of experiencing Westville. The last place I lived at had one in the lobby and it quickly became one of my go-to’s for its healthy, delicious food and when I’d go in person, amazing and friendly service.
I went back again to this location after marching in the NYC Pride Parade last weekend and was automatically reminded what makes this place special. They have people who seem to very much enjoy working there, and a fun, laid back vibe.

Exceptional Dining at Westville Chelsea
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Westville Chelsea continues to be a standout gem in the neighborhood, delivering a dining experience that perfectly balances a relaxed atmosphere with high-quality, market-fresh ingredients, healthy made delicious !
From the moment you walk in, the energy is infectious; the hostess and bar staff are incredibly welcoming, and the vibrant servers ensure that every need is met with a genuine smile and efficiency.
The menu is a masterclass in elevated comfort food. We started with the Cheeseburger, which was cooked to a perfect, juicy medium and served on a fresh bun that held up beautifully to the toppings. It’s a classic done right. For the main, the Parmesan Crusted Chicken Breast was a highlight—the breading was crisp and savory, providing a wonderful texture contrast to the tender chicken.
The sides at Westville are legendary for a reason. The Red Beets with Goat Cheese offered a bright, earthy sweetness that paired perfectly with the creamy tang of the cheese. To round it all out, the Garlic Mashed Potatoes were smooth, buttery, and packed with just the right amount of roasted garlic punch.
Whether you are stopping by for their creative cocktails and drinks or a full sit-down dinner, the consistency here is remarkable. It is clear the kitchen cares deeply about the "fresh" philosophy. If you are looking for a reliable, delicious, and lively spot in Chelsea, this is it. I’ll definitely be back soon!

Great varied menu with plenty of options. My friends were really happy with their vegetarian and vegan dishes, but unfortunately, I chose the Carnitas Bowl. The rice was very dry and the pork was tasteless - honestly, the dish alone would have earned a lower rating. I’d come back to try something else since my friends enjoyed theirs, but I’ll definitely skip the carnitas next time.

Scrumptious! Beets w goat cheese and walnuts, Brussels, yucca fries, and a melt in your mouth grilled cheese:) Service was terrific. I thought the lovely server was the owner. She said she loves working there, and you can tell! It’s a very kind, welcoming, and relaxing experience. 💐

We went to this spot for brunch since it’s close to our office and had good reviews. To be honest, the food was fine—nothing bad, but nothing particularly memorable either. What really impacted my impression was the overall vibe. The space felt outdated, a bit cold, and there was an off smell that day, which didn’t help.
The menu focused on healthy options, which is great in theory, but it felt a bit too limited—I found myself wishing for a few more choices. Pricing was around $20–25 for a main dish, which is pretty standard, but felt a bit steep for a casual weekday lunch.
At this point, I don’t see myself going back, and I’d rather explore other spots nearby. That said, if you haven’t been, it might still be worth checking out—just go in with low expectations.
