We met for dinner at Cafeteria in Chelsea. Pretty relaxed place, friendly staff, nothing too fancy—which I actually liked. We came especially to try their mac & cheese. It’s not really my kind of food, but honestly, it was really good! Creamy and rich—I totally get why people love it. The menu is very American, with some seafood and other options too. I asked if they had a whole wheat option for bread, but they didn’t. Only gluten-free or served in a lettuce leaf. Not a big deal, but it would be great to have that for people following an ADA-friendly diet. The food was tasty, not trying to be upscale or anything. A good spot for a casual night out goth friends 7/10

Our experience at Cafeteria was absolutely incredible! We had a group of 8 women visiting New York for a girls’ trip, and from the moment we arrived, the energy, hospitality, and service were top-tier. Nicholas was an absolute joy — so warm and attentive — and every staff member we interacted with made us feel genuinely cared for. We ordered a wide variety of food and drinks, and everything came out perfectly. Our table enjoyed espresso martinis, hot peppermint tea, sodas, waters, a fried chicken thigh sandwich with Gouda mac and cheese, eggs Benedict with spinach and prosciutto, a steak sandwich, fried mac and cheese egg rolls, a cheeseburger, fish and chips, and even had frozen cosmos. Every bite and sip was absolutely delicious — flavorful, fresh, and beautifully plated. The vibe was lively yet relaxed, making it the perfect spot to celebrate our day in the city. Cafeteria truly delivered an unforgettable experience, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for incredible food, stellar service, and a memorable time in New York!

My mom and I stopped in here because we are big Sex and the City fans and wanted to dine in a restaurant we saw on the show during our visit to NYC. We didn't have a reservation but we were able to walk in and be seated right away. The service was great -- we loved our waitress and loved their energy. Loved the extensive menu and large wine list! We had mimosas and brunch and it was delightful. Great little place and would love to come back someday.

WOW. We already can’t wait to come back here! Nick and Atrice gave us 5⭐️ service. The food was also incredible! The truffle egg and fried chicken and waffles were perfect. I got the green juice which was also great! We’ll definitely go back- in a matter of days so we can try more of the menu and see the kind staff! 😊

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.

Firstly, the waitress from Venezuela was superb: she aimed to please, she was friendly and witty. The young man who greeted us was from Colombia. Both were amiable. Architecturally, they try to give you a Mediterranean vibe. On food, if it had matched the quality of service this place would be five stars. My guest enjoyed his meal. I was told I must come here for brunch which I have not done and since I live in Chelsea I will give it a try. For the price the food was good.
Brett Montclair - 3 months ago

We love Zizi! Food, drink, service 10 out of 10!! The owner is super nice and gave our puppy some delicious chicken from the kitchen. We ordered the eggplant carpaccio, overnight lamb, and Moroccan sea bass. So yummy 😋 especially the lamb. For cocktail, I had the gin martini- forgot the name but very delicate and balanced as well. Would recommend this place for sure if you want authentic Israeli/ Mediterranean food.
Vera J - 4 months ago

Amazing adorable food option! We ordered Halloumi pesto, crazy baba, shawarma, and a side of veggie sticks and everything was delish! We would order exactly the same food next time ☺️!

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.
Miguel Pena - 4 months ago

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
Marissa Hou - 4 months ago

Great, great coffee at The Commons Chelsea! I always love to swing by when I am in the area for an excellent espresso. It is a small but well-curated location, and the staff is always super friendly and smiley.

Edit since I can't reply: I verified the prices for the meat and non-meat options before posting my review. They are $17.99 and $15.99, respectively. Leaving a mid-range review for mid-range service is, in my opinion, not "bashing". Given the owner's condescending response I think a 3-star is more than the business deserves. Original post: Below average breakfast burrito and bad coffee. The menu prices when ordering pickup through their preferred app are higher than what’s posted on-site, which I found dishonest.

Just had their BTL and wow 👌🏼 it was so good the spicy mayo was a perfect pair with the thick cut bacon. Will be back again

A great place for a meal! My only complaint is that the protein they serve is on the dry side. The salmon I had was particularly overcooked. I tried the chicken cutlet and it was fairly dry (not as dry as the fish however). Despite the dry protein, the amazing veggie dishes certainly make up for it. The pesto mashed potatoes, roasted cauliflower with curry seasoning, and yucca fries were delicious. The drinks are also made well and very refreshing. The service was great and the restaurant was modern and charming.

I took a client from Supp who is a vegetarian for lunch at Westville | Chelsea, and it was just the perfect decision. Aside from the meeting going well, the space is bright and clean, and the servers are attentive and present. We sat at the bar, so shout out to the bartender, Jess—personable, smiley, and fun! The menu has many options with genuine healthy ingredients, which is not always easy to find in NYC. I picked the soup of the day as a light lunch, and it was really yummy! See you soon :)

This place is AMAZING!!! We had a feast: Chicken Soup (GREAT!), Turkey Chili, Fresh Veggies, Drinks, Dessert. And The Total Bill including Tax was $87! The Staff was so gracious & accommodating. It does get really noisy here on The Weekends, but only because it is packed. Go on Off Hours for a quieter but still amazing meal!

Went on a date, we had a reservation at 8pm - we ended up changing it to 8:30pm, it was very easy to change the reservation. Overall, we had a lovely time, the food was delicious, they had a very good selection of beers and drinks.
Karina del Mar - a week ago

I love that you can combine whatever fresh veggies, proteins, or fruits you’re in the mood for (that they offer), to create your own custom plate. My favorite thing I ordered was the tofu which was either miso or teriyaki (i forget), and the refreshing watermelon and peach salad.

Love me a cozy NYC wine bar. Found a seat relatively easy on a Saturday around 7pm. Charcuterie meat and cheese “piatto veloce” is perfect for 2 and the panini pressed bread is sooo good. 🍷🧀🍖
Amy Vardijan - 6 months ago

Great place to have a nice drink and chat. We stopped by to end the night and had a great time speaking with Dara, our bartender. She makes the best drinks and has me hooked on that lavender drink. Thank you, Dara, for being friendly and funny to go along with your mixologist skills.

Chic atmosphere and tasty tapas plus great happy hour. The service was Stellar. Jackie behind the bar was kind and interesting. This place is a chelsea staple and there’s several other successful locations around town. If you see a bar veloce, definitely give it a whirl. Solid wine list too
james amster - 2 years ago

Bar Veloce Chelsea has been my neighborhood spot for the past 5 years, and is truly a neighborhood staple. The happy hour deal is unbeatable, the ambiance is perfection, and the staff is so fun and welcoming. The entire staff - especially David, Dara, and Valentin - are absolutely, 100% the reason that I keep coming back. They all immediately make you feel at home. The only drawback is that the music is quite dated and doesn’t quite fit the overall vibe. Aside from that - I could not recommend this spot more highly. You will not be disappointed!
Sarah Talbert - 5 months ago

Came here after work to try out their happy hour options. The wine on special was fairly priced and hit the spot. Glad to see the food options were great as well. Nice place to grab some wine and have a conversation with a few friends. They have a wide selection besides happy hour and a knowledgeable waitstaff.

Dropped by on a Sunday night an hour before closing. Great vibes and awesome service. Didn't rush us at all and let us enjoy a good time with friends! Food was honestly pretty damn good. I wasn't expecting to be blown away but their mac & cheese is definitely worth trying alongside some of their entrees like the penne. Best of all, Elmo has incredibly generous portion sizes. I was definitely rolling out of the restaurant.

Had lunch here. It was a standard experience, friendly people at the door, friendly people at the bar. The space has high ceilings and really nice vibes. The food was pretty good. They have a beautiful lounge downstairs. The waiter was from Turkey and was helpful with recommendations, helping us decide what we wanted to eat. I would return.

Visiting from Texas and had dinner here with a friend. All staff I came in contact with (host, bus boy, cook, waitress) were attentive and helpful. Had the scallop dish and meatball appetizer. Good dinner!

A perfect cozy neighborhood spot. Huge menu with something for everyone, with great portions and reasonable prices. Gives vibes of more old school new york. Specials menu adds a little variety - we tried the duck ravioli and it was a lovely addition!
Kennis Dees - 6 months ago

Several options to choose from, including daily specials. The pesto was really good. Others had the Mac and Cheese because it had truffles and they really liked it. The portions were just right (not small or big). The bread was a nice touch too. They have a painting from Madonna which is quite nice / funny.
Carlos Vivas Augier - 10 months ago

Before coming to NYC, I explored many places online from reviews and photos. Le Zie seemed the most up my alley. Approachable, more relaxed food and environment. They had a duck ravioli on their “specials” menu that was truly the greatest thing I’ve ever eaten in my entire life. I can’t stress enough how good it was. I let my three friends try a bite, and they each were nearly brought to tears by it. All of their meals were phenomenal as well, from the veal, to the salmon, to a carbonara. We paired it with a great Malbec and had a perfect meal. I couldn’t possibly recommend any place in the whole of the city more than Le Zie.

I came here for brunch because it was highly recommended. Service is good and the drinks were phenomenal. It's first come first served and even though my large party was late they were able to see us all together by the grace of gods. The food itself was just okay. The steak from the steak and eggs was basic. The chicken was really tasty from the chicken and waffles. The other dishes lacked some flavor which was a bit disappointing although they were good. I may return but mainly to try other dishes as this place was rated pretty highly by others.
Anthony Parris - in the last week

The flavors were impressive. The MAC & CHICHARRON was a real standout. It looked like a calorie bomb but tasted just as amazing. The little pieces of meat inside were tasty. They were a bit salty but paired really well with the macaroni. The pork skin added a satisfying crunch. The CAMARONES CIENFUEGOS was another highlight. The quinoa had a firmer texture than regular white rice, but it matched the seasoning of the dish really well. The portion balance between the dish and the quinoa was just right, making sure every bite was flavorful. The CHURRASCO was solid as well. The beef was a little dry, but the seasoning helped make up for it. As for the Mexican soda, it tasted pretty similar to regular soda. I ordered it just out of curiosity. If you are not particularly interested in trying something different, regular soda will do just fine. The restaurant had a lively, energetic vibe that made the experience even better. I would definitely come back.

Such a great place the vibes are fantastic. This place is a great diner with so many options. Would highly recommend the oxtail empanada. The chicken and waffles was super interesting (the chicken is marinated in tea) but by the end was a bit too sweet (though the waffle was perfect). Same with the Cubano it was good but missing a bit of pickle forwardness. Would definitely go back to try more things because everything looked good and interesting.
Zoe Inbar - a month ago

The only highlight was the oxtail empanadas—they were genuinely delicious and packed with flavor even though one of the orders was missing the green sauce. Everything else was a disappointment. The skirt steak was overly fatty and unpleasant to eat, and the rice and beans that accompanied it were bland. The lomo saltado, which I was really looking forward to, lacked seasoning, it just didn’t deliver. On a positive note, the service was excellent. Still, great service can only do so much when the food doesn’t measure up. I wouldn’t come back—even if Rihanna recommended it.

🌙✨ Late-night cravings? SOLVED. Coppelia, located at 207 W 14th St in NYC, is a 24-HOUR CUBAN DINER that absolutely slaps. No other way to describe it — this place is a certified banger. 🔥🇨🇺 Started off with their Oxtail Empanada and let me tell you… WOW. The sweet plantain dough? Magic. Braised oxtail melting inside, topped with crema, queso fresco, pico de gallo, and a little salsa verde action? Just chef’s kiss. 💥💚 Then came the Lomo Saltado — unbelievably tender, salty, slightly sweet, and available 24/7 (yes, seriously). Perfectly cooked beef meets lightly caramelized crunchy French fries, bone-dry rice, and that savory, stewed tomato sauce that hits every comfort button. 🥩🍅🍟 Coppelia is a Cuban diner with a big, beautiful bar and vibes for days. Whether it’s 2PM or 2AM, this spot should be in everyone’s NYC food rotation. 🚨 Go. There. Now. 🚨 #CoppeliaNYC #CubanFood #LomoSaltado #EmpanadaGoals #LateNightEats #NYCFoodie #24HourSpot

We had visitors over Memorial Weekend. It was relatively easy to find a table for 5. The food was OK but not great. Maybe we did not order their best. I ordered the "Classic Omelette". It was OK. It came with home fries that were not so great. The "Latte" was really good. Others were OK with their order but no one shared great compliments about it. The place had a really good crowd so, you might want to give it a try.

A friend of mine was in town from Austria. And I needed a good place for an 8 AM breakfast close to Google’s Chelsea offices. I was happy that I found the Grey Dog initially just for convenience purposes. However, after experiencing the food in the service. This place is much more than convenient. I will definitely be back. I had the Mexican bowl, which was so delicious with the tofu substitution. The service was attentive, but not intrusive. It was also really nice to see the Pride flags hanging. The doors were open so that the fresh air from the morning got in. As you can tell from the pictures I’ve included, the atmosphere is very relaxed. I’m so glad I found it.

Had breakfast here with a friend and we absolutely loved it! The place has the cutest doggy vibes—super cozy and welcoming. The coffee was yummmm and honestly one of the best I’ve had in a while. Our breakfast was also delicious. Definitely a spot we’d come back to!

Quite a comforting spot to have a meal with a friend. I met up with my friends for dinner and I had the mac & cheese and she had the spinach and artichoke dip. The artwork around the walls and the old photos of gray dog were beautiful to see. The waiter was very accommodating and really friendly awesome spot.

This place was perfect! My wife and I were looking for something that had healthy options and Chocolate Chip Pancakes were a must for two of the kiddos- a family tradition! They had it all. The bloody Mary was amazing and so was the coffee. We dined outside and it was exactly what we were looking for. I highly recommend this for a simple but tasteful breakfast!

Nice size Bar/Restaurant. I like the Old Timey feel of the place. The prices are very reasonable. I had the Chicken Fingers, which were very dry but I liked the sauces it came with. It seems like a neighborhood bar but one where everyone is welcomed. Meg is a good bartender and she's very nice and welcoming. I would come back but I would order something else.

After 8 days in NY, finally a great place. Kind waitress, good service, good hamburger with fresh meat (big portions), high variety of beers, and nice atmosphere! Authentic Irish pub in NY.

Really appreciate a bar that has a traditional telephone booth in it. It's so amazing to see that these things still exist. It is a small bar and a lot of people. So the atmosphere is a little difficult at times. The food is fantastic, nothing better than a cheeseburger and beer
