This is not the old homestead I remember as a kid. They downsized so when you walk inside it’s like walking into dark cave with no windows, jam packed and super loud. The food itself was ok but not impressed as I hoped it would be. Steaks were tasty but the sides were not what I remember. We got the 12 oysters which were good, 2 colossal shrimp which were super hard and chewy, different steaks: sirloin & filet mignons which were good but the garlic mash potatoes were nothing special. The cream of spinach and Mac n cheese were tasty. I think I’m more disappointed with the ambience than the food. I would avoid the shrimp and get a different side instead of the mash.

Side notes- Review is in regards to their $95 special for 2, which is a fantastic deal compared to their standard menu. Also, their website is currently hacked, displaying a page to download a fake version of Chrome from "worshipinnovcations." Finally, this old school steakhouse is posting AI slop on Instagram/their FB page in celebration of the Knicks... "cool."
Anyway, I was here a while ago for something that they appear to offer seasonally, the $95 Porterhouse for Two, which is normally $165 alone, and also comes with a salad, mashed potatoes, and creamed spinach. This is a fantastic deal compared to their usual high prices and appears to be still happening, but I'm not sure. I was here early and was sitting at the bar with others, and the bartender was friendly. I might have had a glass of wine, but I'm not sure.
We were soon upstairs with our full group of 6. Our waiter asked if we wanted something outside of the special, and he recommended the bread, which we ordered for $10.50, listed as Chef's Special Bread Preparation. While the menu lacks any descriptions, this was essentially a Jenga tower of slightly crusted garlic bread sitting in a rather rich and oily sauce made with presumably a lot of Parmesan or another similar type of cheese. It was tasty and worked to whet the appetite.
Soon enough, the steaks and other dishes arrived, with two of our pairs getting the same medium rare temperature and the others getting medium. The portion was large as expected, with the steak being pretty tender. I think the flavor was a bit better than Gallagher's, but worse than Keen's, Delmonico's, Hawksmoor, and a few other places with less funk, but it was still decent. The sides were standard, whether it was the salad, which was Caesar's, the spinach, or the mashed potatoes.
I wouldn't pay full price, as there are several other steakhouses in the city that are tastier at a similar price range, but I would probably recommend this place if you were to get the same deal.

We recently visited Olde Hempstead Steak House to celebrate my cousin’s birthday. Overall, we had a good experience. Our server, Melvin, was attentive and did a nice job taking care of our table throughout the evening.
The highlight of the meal was the special on the 32 oz. porterhouse for two, which included a salad for each person and two sides. It was a great value and the steak was enjoyable.
There were a couple of challenges during our visit. We were initially seated at a very tight table for our group, although the staff eventually accommodated us by adding another table, which made things much more comfortable. We also would have appreciated more flexibility with splitting the bill. We had hoped to divide the checks and cover the birthday guest’s meal separately, but that wasn’t something they were able to accommodate.
Despite those issues, the food was good, the porterhouse special offered excellent value, and Melvin provided great service. With a few adjustments to guest accommodations, the experience could be even better.

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.

We came across this place by chance during our trip after seeing the “156 years” sign, and we decided to stop by. The steak was absolutely outstanding!! truly as impressive as its long history.
We were on a tight schedule, but the staff kindly accommodated our request for quicker service and took great care of us throughout. We really appreciated their attentiveness and kindness.
If we visit New York again, we would definitely love to come back!

ZZ's was one of the most fun dinners we've had in NYC in a long time. The energy hits you the moment you walk in. From the warm welcome by the staff to the owner making the rounds, it feels less like a restaurant and more like being invited to a very cool friend's dinner party—one where everyone genuinely wants you to have a great time.
The food absolutely delivers. The flavors are bold, vibrant, and memorable across the board, and the cocktails are playful, creative, and delicious. Our server, Emmet, was a rockstar, somehow keeping a party of 13 demanding (but polite!) Persians happy and well-fed all night without missing a beat. The service was phenomenal—attentive, friendly, and effortlessly professional.
There were so many highlights, but the eggplant steak was a revelation. It redefines what an eggplant dish can be: smoky, substantial, beautifully textured, and finished with just the right amount of heat. The ceviche may have been my favorite dish of the night—super fresh fish, layers of flavor, a perfect kick of spice, and a green sauce I'll probably still be thinking about for months. The overnight lamb was another standout and a hit at the table. The appetizers, especially the crazy baba and fried artichokes w/ an incredible aioli, disappeared almost instantly.
What makes ZZ's special isn't just the food—it's the combination of great hospitality, infectious energy, and genuinely exciting cooking. Our group had all kinds of preferences, and everyone left happy. That's not easy to pull off.
We loved discovering this place and can't wait to come back. Thanks for a truly memorable meal.

Wow! One of the best mediterranian I had in a while. We were a party of 3, walked in without reservation and had to sit at the bar. Not too bad tho. We ordered bone marrow, chicken shawarma and overnight lambs. All tasted great, 2 main dishes can be shared for 3 people I think. Solid service and ambiance was nice. I love their twist on the free mint cucumber water!

I came into Zizi‘s bar at 4 PM on a Monday. The second I walked and I felt so welcomed the study of this place is so beautiful it makes you feel so comfortable. The music is so good in terms of and not being too loud or too quiet. It just feels right. The bartender that I met was Maria and she made the drink so well they have a great happy hour menu. I got the lychee martini and the martini Mela phone. The owner was also there he was super accommodating and gave me two shots on the house I could not be more grateful. I’m telling you right now. I’ve been in the city my whole life. If you do not check this place out you’ll regret go check it out. The drinks are great atmosphere is amazing yourself a favor and go check it out.

Nice little spot with pretty good food. Went with a large group and very accommodating- was able to go with large party at later hour which was nice. Staff was amazing and good size location. We enjoyed various Mediterranean dishes that were goo quality such as feta, dips, cauliflower, and lamb bites. Overall really solid spot with good service and food

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.

One of the restaurant options in the area offering many kinds of dishes. Food was good in general yet certain staff were inpatient even it was not a busy time.
💚💛Green eggs and ham was surprisingly good! The pesto flavor went so well with the eggs. Ham was fine.
Blueberry lemon pancakes were kinda a classic. Like the ricotta part yet the pancake itself was slightly dry.

It had been a while since I came by Cafeteria for a bite. Originally, it was for the late night after the bar inebriated meal, this time it was for an adult meal and dinner.
I came by with no reservation and thankfully was able to get seated after a few minutes. After being seated, my friend and I got right into it. Neither of us were that hungry so we kept it pretty light with mostly starters and drinks.
Ordered the espresso martini to kickstart the evening as well as the deviled eggs, mac and cheese sampler trio, brussel sprouts, calamari and Cobb salad. All were delicious, especially the deviled eggs and mac and cheese sampler.
The place was pretty busy that night and almost every table was taken which was a surprise for me as the day before when I checked it seemed to be fully available. Guess you never know what to expect in New York City. This definitely gave it that lively New York energy I recalled. The only thing that could’ve been better was our server. Feel like he barely came by or was present for the meal.

Had such an amazing experience at the cafeteria restaurant with my book club today 🤍
From the moment we walked in, the environment was welcoming, cozy, and just overall a great vibe — especially on a cold, rainy day. The staff truly made the entire visit stand out. The manager was incredible — so friendly and attentive, making sure we were comfortable while we waited for our table, which honestly made such a difference.
Once seated, everything flowed perfectly. Our food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were just as good. You can really tell when a place takes pride in both their food and service.
And I have to shout out our server, Dylan LL he was so much fun, attentive, and genuinely made the whole experience even better. He did such a great job with our table and really made our visit memorable.
I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend 🤍

My friend and I stopped by for a lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We were seated outside very quickly. Service was great! Our waiter (Dyllan V.) was so sweet, patient, and stylish! We had great conversation with him and our food honestly came pretty quick for nyc. Food was great, we ateeeeee it up! Great place to go if you’re in the area.

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.

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.

My go-to for 10 years! I can’t start my day without an almond latte here. It truly makes my day better. The staff and owner are all friendly and attentive and the food is delicious. There is no place like the The Commons Chelsea and it’s my first stop as soon as I return from any trips. Commons Chelsea is GOAT

This is a cute spot. The speakeasy vibes are effortless. From the Security at the door to the servers and the bar, it is a really nice low key spot that anyone can enjoy. I went on a Wednesday night where a live band plays and it was definitely a nice experience. If you plan on spending $20 on a cocktail anywhere in the city, at least come here before you go anywhere else. I wasn’t a huge fan of the small bites but it was edible and didn’t take away from the experience. I did taste the espresso martini and it was delicious. There is really no way you can lose coming here so I definitely recommend this place and I cant wait to be back!

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!

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.

We came here on a Tuesday night for a burlesque show. They specialize in gin drinks which my wife loved. They also can make just about any other kind of decent drink. They were quite nice.
The burlesque show was often so definitely come on a night when they are doing that. Make a reservation. The burlesque was option. One performer swallowed an entire sword like you would see in a circus act. The entertainers were lovely. Kind of a long gap between shows and they definitely don't start on time. Definitely worth going though.

Service at the 3 tables at the bar was excellent. Very professional with just the right level of attention. The food was good.
The show was…well… meh. One dancer was entertaining but the other two were not so much.
Go for the drinks, service, and food but don’t get your hopes up for a top level show.

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. 😁

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.

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!

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!

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.

Finally tried LA Nacional and it did not disappoint. The Pan Tumaca was so good, just simple stuff like tomato, garlic and good olive oil on toasted bread, but done just right. Coming from a South Asian background, this kinda simple flavor combo still felt familiar somehow, like it let every ingredient really stand out. The Croquetas were a great little bite too, crispy on the outside and creamy inside, honestly reminded me of the comfort you get from a good fritter back home. Different spices but same vibe of texture and indulgence. The Patatas Bravas had this savory kick that I couldn't stop eating. The Seafood Paella was a first for me and it honestly blew me away, now I get the hype. Even the mocktail (sober sangria) was solid. Beyond the food, the vibe inside is really nice!! we got a table and just enjoyed the whole time. Definitely coming back.

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.

This restaurant is located in a very touristy area and is advertised as a Cuban restaurant. While they do serve traditional Cuban dishes, the menu also seems influenced by other Latin cuisines, giving it more of a fusion feel.
They did a very good job with the ropa vieja dish. The coffee was good as well, although the dessert selection was somewhat limited. Prices were reasonable and not overly expensive.
The restaurant is open 24 hours, and even around midnight there were still many patrons, which created a lively and energetic atmosphere. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and will return again.

Wet summer night in the city. Late night hunger pangs are a persistent pain in my patootie!!! But, unlike my other trips to the big apple, i am not staying near my usual haunt... Times Square
The meatpacking district is quiet. Cobbled stone street leads me away thru solitude and shadow. This is not the city I recognize... must find energy and excitement!!!!
The Coppelia, jauntily sitting on the corner of kitsch and charisma. Music spilling through the front door. Lights hinting at mischief and merriment.
I sit at the bar and get a friendly keeper instantly. A G&T is on its way in a tall glass. A bottle of water and a half pour placed within reach.
"Whats good", I ask
"Everything"
"Ox tail empanada then"
I suck on Hendricks as I peruse the menu. This place is open 7x24 - so u get breakfast, soup, sandwiches, arepas, mains, enchiladas... everything latin and yes a cubano...
I glance around the long space... about half full.. bot not sleepy. People come here and greet each other warmly... politics being discussed behind. Futbol in the cirner booth. I struggle for the feel... and then it hits me.
COMMUNITY!!!!
Thats the vibe... u dont have to know people to belong here... u just gotta flow with what the place is dealing...
My empanada is divine... the sweetness of plantain, the briskness of the cheese, the deep deep taste of the beef.
Ropa Vieja is what I choose for the main... with a side if the spiciest condiment you have please.
15 minutes later arrives this no frills plate of deliciousness!!! Black beans and rice accompany the beef stew. It has that bite from the vinegar that is a must for all good ropa vieja. This has to have been cooling all day.
I eat every last bite. This mountain of a man stands next to me at the bar getting some change abd notices me shoveling this plate into my mouth
"Good, eh"
I nod
" I eat that at least once a week"
"That is your great good luck" I offer back
He moves on

If you want a lively vibe in a quiet neighborhood, where the food matches the warmth and depth of familiar comfort and camaraderie.
Make your way to the Coppelia.

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.

While I visited the restaurant a few years ago, it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I gave it another go...it is my new favorite go to spot!
The staff is welcoming and have become quick friends. The music is great. Highly recommend sitting at the bar (or table). The place is very LGBT welcoming.
The food is so tasty - with great portions. Love the steak and eggs (their breakfast is served all day), iced tea, red sangria, espresso martini, and their play on eggs Benedict. Love that you can see into the kitche where everything is being cooked!
Perfect place if you want an easy, casual hang out place...you can hear the laughter throughout the entire space. They are also open 24/7. Highly recommend.

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.

They have great service and a welcoming atmosphere. The scones were yummy as well! The entrees were good as well though less salted and seasoned than usual at restaurants. I would definitely return to try other dishes and possibly the afternoon tea.

I love Tea & Sympathy — I’ve been going there for years. The space is tiny, so definitely expect to be a little crammed, but the food is always so good. As a vegetarian, I really appreciate how many classic dishes they offer.
The sticky toffee pudding with warm custard is incredible. Honestly, it’s so good that I still haven’t managed to try the other cakes. Years ago, I used to go for high tea, but now I usually order some kind of lentil pie, a pot of tea, and dessert. It’s one of those cozy spots I keep coming back to.

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!

Breakfast burrito and potatoes hit the spot!!absolutely delicious and great service. I didn’t catch our bartenders name but the strawberry mimosa and her kindness made it the best brunch. Will certainly go back!

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. 💐
