NYC restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of Christopher Street - Sheridan Square Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

I had the pleasure of taking my wife here for our anniversary, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. From the moment I made the reservations, the staff graciously accommodated all my requests. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted at the door and assisted with our coats, setting the perfect tone. The atmosphere was enchanting, and the chef’s curated courses were nothing short of amazing, with outstanding food selections. The customer service (our waiter Albert was great) and hospitality were impeccable throughout. No complaints whatsoever—just pure delight for the evening. If you’re planning on visiting there’s a parking lot right across the street

My husband celebrated my birthday at One if by Land, Two if by Sea, and it felt like discovering a secret tucked away in the heart of New York. The location itself is so mysterious — hidden down a quiet cobblestone street, behind a beautiful old facade that feels like a portal to another world. Inside, the candlelight, soft piano music, and garden views created a setting that was intimate, elegant, and absolutely timeless. We were seated at the perfect corner table near the piano bar. To my left, a beautiful garden view framed the evening with even more charm. It felt so private and romantic — as if the city had disappeared for a night, just for us. The food was exquisite. Every dish was gorgeous and full of flavor. The Beef Wellington was divine — truly one of the best we’ve ever had. And the champagne? Effortlessly luxurious and so celebratory. The service was flawless, warm, and genuinely thoughtful. They made my birthday feel incredibly special, with every detail handled with care. A magical evening in a place that feels hidden, timeless, and full of love. Truly one of the most romantic dining experiences in the city — or anywhere🤍🤍🤍

Such an incredible evening at an incredible restaurant! The staff, atmosphere, food, wine and cocktails are all perfection. Our waiter Michael was so kind and attentive to us. He even went above and beyond to give us a little tour of some of the other spaces in the venue. Kirk was so knowledgeable with the wine pairing which made the whole experience extra special and Nicky was delivering the best bread we’ve ever had with a smile on his face. We felt so welcomed and warm at this restaurant. Absolutely recommend. We can’t wait to go back!!

If I could give 10 stars I would happily do so. The restaurant it’s top notch. They have a beautiful bar area with seating for dining if you like. The restaurant lighting is perfect to set a romantic mood with a pianist playing entertaining music. We are from their price fixe menu and it was an excellent meal. For starters we had the Foie Gras and the tempura squash blossom. The tempura squash blossom was stuffed with lobster and crab meat. It was so good. For our entrees I had the beef Wellington and my girlfriend had the duck. Both were cooked perfectly and the playing was perfect. An excellent meal. To end our dinner the dessert course cosiste of cremé brûlée, and tiramisu. The tiramisu was served in a way I have never had it before. It was covered by a chocolate top and the filling was so velvety smooth. So Good!!! The waiter was excellent, offering suggestions and well versed with the menu. They took care of all our dining needs. We highly recommend this place.

My husband and I went back for our anniversary. We had one of our first dates here 30+ years ago. Food, service and atmosphere still terrific! We had the chef’s menu which was a perfect tasting of their best dishes. You cannot eat here without having the beef Wellington!

Brunch is the way to go here. The menu is exactly the same as dinner, and you get to pick and choose all the food you would ever want to try for $20 for 90 minutes. For an additional $16, you can have unlimited drinks. We came on St Patrick’s Day where they colored their margaritas green. Service was impeccable and prompt, and all the food was delicious. We had all of the tacos, tamales, and quesadillas. Don’t forget dessert. The churros are a must!
Josh Wolfrum - 6 years ago

The place was good. Ended up sharing a platter with two friends and it was more than enough to go around. The tacos were good. For the area, the price was reasonable. Service was quick and we didn’t feel hurried.
Johnny Cortez - 5 months ago

The best taco shop in the entire West Village, maybe even best in southern Manhattan. Amazing food, drinks, atmosphere and service. Hands down the best steak tacos I have had in any borough. Every time I have eaten here it has been an absolute delight. They even have a $20 happy hour special: Three tacos and a drink and it's well worth the price! Angel works Monday through Thursday and makes the best Mango Margarita (frozen and straight) I have ever tasted. A hidden gem of the West Village that deserves way more credit than it's given.

OMG soooo good!! Can’t believe I didn’t know about this place sooner!! The best food and service! I’m a Texan always looking for great tacos/Mexican/margs…6.5 years later finally found it!
Ariel Bailey - 9 months ago

For a Mexican restaurant you definitely expect more flavor in the food. People were really enjoying their drinks though however they do not accommodate for people who do not drink alcohol. The staff did not make and would not make Virgin mocktails. The nachos are not salted either. The best thing was dessert. Don't skip out on those plantains. YUM!

Little Owl was established in 2006. I have had this restaurant in my radar for many years but it took me 19 years to finally dine here. I wish I discovered this gem of a restaurant sooner. The vibe is of a comfy cozy neighborhood restaurant. We enjoyed the French onion soup, meatball sliders and the Bibb and Beets salad. The salad was absolutely delicious and worth coming back for that dish alone. I enjoyed my non-alcoholic drink but found the desserts a tad too sweet for my taste. The service was excellent. Jorge was especially hospitable and made us feel welcomed. I will be back soon.

I had an incredible experience at Little Owl. Suggested to me by a friend‘s mother. It did not disappoint. If you’re going, definitely get the halibut. A very unique yet simple way of cooking the fish. The story goes that it used to be grilled until the grill went out in the first week and they’ve decided to broil ever since. They really go over and above to make sure you’re comfortable as well. It was very nice to feel well taken care of.

Went to the little owl for dinner. Joey and his crew were amazing. The dinner was spot on. It was nice and quaint for dinner. Table was ready on time. Servers were wonderful and very helpful. Would I go there again. Absolutely!!!
Geo Kich - 2 months ago

Little Owl — tucked right under the iconic "Friends" apartment building — is a must-stop in the West Village. Cozy, welcoming, and absolutely delicious. The meatball is non-negotiable: tender, perfectly seasoned, and sauced just right. Service is friendly, the vibe is intimate, and every plate feels thoughtfully made. Come hungry, order the meatball first, and grab a quick photo outside afterward. Perfect NYC spot!

My new favorite restaurant in the Village! Amazing atmosphere, fantastic service and food was outstanding. Pitied for the Halibut for my main course and cherry kaluha bread pudding for dessert. My son and I did not have a reservation on a buy night and they were extremely accommodating to provide a seat and the bar where we could watch the chef perform his culinary art magic.

Annother New York institution I couldnt miss. Once again, I was very impressed. This was my favorite slice I had in the city! The place is comfy in a lived-in way, the staff is quick/efficient (mostly leaving you alone), and the pizza was perfect (especially if you season it). I thuroughly enjoyed my experience and I hope to go back again. Tip: The line builds fast so I would recommend a meal on the early side here.
Josh - a week ago

Best pizza EVER! The crust was perfectly crisp and the taste was just indescribable. We ordered the margarita and we made our own pizza. The basil on the margarita was super fresh and it was so tasty. The waiter was also rly friendly. On the walls, there were picture of celebrities that have ate at the restaurant. I personally thought it was rly cool. Highly, highly, highly!! Recommend.

This pizza lived up to the hype it’s delicious. We got a half pepperoni and mushroom. We came on a Monday evening at 5:30 table for two and seated right awhile. We had our pizza pie with in 20 mins of ordering. Great atmosphere. The pizza is freaking good! Hard to have such a reputation and have people satisfied.
Doug W - 2 months ago

The pizza was excellent. The service was good there's nothing bad about the place. It certainly is a family friendly establishment. But I will say I don't think you can go wrong where you get pizza in the city. I think if you stop and get a $2 slice it would be just as good. And I'm certainly not knocking John's I'm simply saying that there are a lot of good pizza joints in Manhattan.
Steve - 3 months ago

Chicken parm is a real chicken parm. Pies of pizza are legit. Truly an old school, famous pizzeria. You walk into a time warp and in this day and age, that’s a GOOD thing. Staff is cool and polite. Prices are just fine, you’re in NYC what do you expect.

Food: 5 Stars Service: 5 Stars Ambience: 4 Stars Value: 5 Stars Sanitary: 5 Stars Overall: 4.8 Stars As someone visiting from Toronto, I finally made my way to Magnolia Bakery — and wow… consider me officially addicted. I tried their famous banana pudding and OH. MY. GOODNESS. I understand the hype now. The moment I took my first bite, I instantly regretted not getting a bigger tub. It’s perfectly moist, not overly sweet, and packed with real banana chunks that make every spoonful taste fresh and comforting. Truly the definition of a “must-try” when you’re in New York. Based on the staff’s recommendation, I also tried their apple crisp pudding, and honestly? Zero regrets. It has real apple slices, the most satisfying texture, and a warm, cozy flavour that tastes like a hug in dessert form. Magnolia absolutely nails their puddings — balanced, flavourful, and just indulgent enough without being heavy. The service was lovely, the shop smelled like heaven, and everything felt welcoming and nostalgic. If (more like when) I come back to New York, I will be making a beeline straight to Magnolia Bakery before doing anything else. Their puddings alone are worth the trip. Maybe next time I’ll branch out and try their cakes — because if they’re anything like their puddings, I already know I’m in for a treat. xx kellychan360

Skip the pudding and go for the cupcakes!! It's a nice spot with friendly staff. - The pudding is overrated. Tried both the original and apple crisp, the latter I liked the least. For me it felt a lot like whipped cream. - The cupcakes was a welcoming surprise! Tried chocolate and red velvet, both very light and tasty. I recommend them for sure!
Alexandros Koukras - 2 months ago

Walking around NY you can stumble around and find so many places to try. Known for great desserts, we tried banana pudding and the new apple crisp. Visiting from the south, they have great banana pudding. This one wasn't bad, definitely not my favorite. Thicker consistency with good flavor, but not great. The as crisp on other hand was delicious. Would come back for that.
RJ A - a month ago

Try the famous banana pudding which is surprisingly tasty with banana chunks and cookies and cream. Love it. Also got the red velvet cheesecake and Iced matcha, delicious too. Only for take out so we enjoyed them in nearby park. All the cakes look really attractive in the shop, can’t wait to try more soon.

Everyone on the internet has been raving about the Magnolia Bakery banana pudding for forever, and I decided I couldn't miss out on my recent trip to NY. Unfortunately, I didn't understand the hype; the pudding wasn't exceptionally flavourful, but rather mellow. That alone is fine with me, however, the biscuits inside also weren't soft enough for my liking. It felt as if it was just made and thrown in the fridge, without having time to soak in any of the moisture. I would understand that they're very busy, but I still don't think they should sacrifice quality for sales. Overall, I believe that places in Toronto such as Rosie's Burger offer a more delicious banana pudding, at a cheaper cost as well.

An Absolute West Village Gem! We just had the most magnificent lunch at Palma and I am still dreaming about it! This restaurant is a true destination. The design and decor are super charming—it feels like stepping into a sun-drenched Italian villa. We were lucky enough to dine in their outdoor covered patio space, and I highly recommend it. It was incredibly romantic and intimate, perfect for a special meal with my partner. We started by sharing the delectable tomato tart along with the radicchio and fig salad. Both were light, fresh, and beautifully executed, proving that even the simplest dishes here are crafted with care. For our main courses, the kitchen really shined: * My partner’s Chicken Milanese was perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside, and wonderfully moist and juicy inside. * My fresh cod was divine! It was served atop a rich hazelnut cream sauce and complemented by fresh, earthy chanterelle mushrooms. Every bite, from start to finish, was pure joy. Adding to the wonderful atmosphere was the welcoming and friendly hospitality of the staff, which made us feel completely at home. We loved our experience so much that we are already planning a return trip before we leave the city! We can’t recommend Palma enough for a delicious and memorable dining experience.
Amy “FabulousFoodie” - a month ago

It was more than a dinner, it was literally MAGICAL experience (every step, every page of the menu, every piece of tableware, every gesture of the staff who took care of us) and my family was nothing but delighted with food, ambience and hospitality!! and the FLOWERS, oh, the flowers!! Absolutely wonderful, absolutely must visit for everyone who wants to try the best (imho) Italian food in nyc and no doubt get the best wine options. Im so happy we decided to try different meals, and from the very first bite of focaccia we enjoyed everything. Can’t wait to be back and explore more!!

Had the best chicken milanese that can be humanly made here, it was just so delicious! I have a similar comment for the butter and sage pasta, the taste was so delicate! We just absolutely loved our date here. The vibe is candlelit and is excellent for a dinner in the fall!

Palma is a lovely spot in the West Village, though it does run pricey for what you get. Portions are on the smaller side, but the food itself is fresh and well prepared. The skylight patio is especially charming— intimate and cozy, perfect for a date night or small gathering. The overall experience was enjoyable, just not sure if the value stands out enough to become a regular spot.

I'm still dreaming about my incredible dining experience at Palma! From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat. The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, with a warm and inviting decor that made me feel like I was in a little slice of Italy. But what really stole the show was the food - oh, the food! Every dish I tried was expertly prepared and presented, with flavors that danced on my palate. The service was also top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who knew their stuff. If you're looking for an authentic Italian experience in the city, look no further than Palma. I'll be back, and soon! 5 stars isn't enough - I'd give it 10 stars if I could!

I stopped by the Blind Tiger on a Thursday earlier in December and had a great time. I only had drinks, so I can’t comment on the food, but the bar itself was buzzing. It was absolutely packed and standing room only, and the bar was easily two to three people deep. Despite that, the bartenders were on point and had me a beer in under five minutes, which honestly exceeded my expectations. The hardest part was choosing what to drink because their beer list is massive. I started with a Tilted Barn Kölsch and followed it up with a Captain Lawrence Liquid Gold. I originally planned on just one beer, but there is a two beer minimum when using a credit card, and I had no complaints. I enjoyed some good music and caught the Knicks game on TV while enjoying the music. Next time I am in this part of NYC, I will definitely be back to explore more of their impressive beer menu, hopefully with a little more elbow room!

My favorite bar in NYC, hands down. I came here for the first time a few years ago when I was getting big into craft beer, and had heard that one the best tap lists in the world was here. It has never disappointed, and I’ve been back about 15 times. The variety and selection is always incredible. Maine Beer Company, Grimm, The Alchemist, Other Half, Hudson Valley, you name it. And tons of more niche microbreweries, local and otherwise. The bartenders are always super nice. I’m a Mets fan and they put on the games sometimes. There’s a family tree of beers on the wall that I could stare at for an hour. And they give you a plaque on the wall if you ask a bartender to join the connoisseur club and drink 50 beers over time. Still on my way in that regard! Be aware it can get extremely crowded at peak hours. Usually it’s not too bad for happy hour or later at night, and any non-weekend day is pretty spacious, but 10pm on a Friday can be pretty slammed. Regardless, if you find yourself in the neighborhood and have the time, stop by and try a couple new beers!
Jeff Melvin - 3 months ago

The menu goes well with the beer and the beer is phenomenal. This is an institution and deserves a formal attestation from the beer gods! The quirks that exist are part of the charm and not part of the problem. You will find guides and friends here hiding in plain sight. The selection the guidance and the experience is what matters and that is more golden than what will end up in your glass. Run don’t walk.
Nilesh Patel - 5 months ago

Awesome selection of rotating taps with a great variety of beers. Their online draft list links directly to Untappd, so you can check out reviews of their selection before making your choice. Decent prices overall and helpful bartenders. The main bar area can get loud, but there's also outdoor seating (limited) for when the weather is nice and you want to relax. Love this place.
Reed Fabek - 6 months ago

It's packed on weekends. Number 8, although I think it's the best, only serves half a glass. I don't know if that's how they serve this type of beer, but I'd only come because they have a beer with 9.5% alcohol.

Had L’Artusi on my list to try — it’s a must! Grabbed a reservation for 2 @ the bar on a Friday at 12:15 for 12:45pm. The garganelli pasta was incredible - I was hesitant about the mushroom ragu but it was so delicious and perfectly done. The olive oil cake was my favorite thing we ate — unbelievable flavor. A spoonful of cake w / the raisin marmelleta and mousse was absolute perfection. Highly recommend L’Artusi. Spent $150 including tip for 2 people - no alcohol.
Kristina I - a month ago

Absolutely amazing experience at L’Artusi! The Cacio e Pepe was excellent—perfectly creamy with just the right amount of pepper. The Garganelli was equally delicious, rich, and great if you like a more tomato-based rich flavor. Olive oil cake was unique, but not as good as expected. Beautiful ambiance, great service, and truly outstanding food. Highly recommend!

Great restaurant! Great service! We got a ton of dishes, but my favorites were the steak tartare, the mushrooms, the scallops, the butternut squash ravioli, and the rigatoni. Also, the espresso martini was delicious! Definitely would go back!
Kaitlyn Fogarty - a month ago

We had a reservation at 7pm and were not seated until 7:20pm. At 7:15 I asked the hostess when she thinks we would be seated as we had somewhere to get to after our dinner and she seemed annoyed I asked, saying “the table just paid so we still need some time”. When we were seated, no apologies were given from the hostess or the waiter for the long wait. Aside from this, the food was tasty and came out super fast. I recommend the bucatini and olive oil cake! The Brussel sprouts were also very good and had a strong lemon flavor.
Alexandra Yee - a month ago

Roasted mushroom and the focaccia were good start to the meal, the pasta dishes were good but didn’t standout. The dessert and the drinks surprised me the most in a good way . I came here based on recommendation but the place doesn’t keep up with the hype. The place is loud so if you want a quiet dinner maybe go somewhere else. The service was the not the best, our servers seemed like she didn’t wanted to be there, I understand holiday rush but just felt it could have been better. Worth a one time visit, Not a stand-out meal.

We had the best night at Employees Only! 🍸 A complete and delicious experience from start to finish. All the food we had was amazing, but the table-side steak tartare was one of the best I’ve ever had. We enjoyed everything — our waitress and all the staff were absolutely fantastic, and the midnight burlesque was unforgettable, especially for me 😄. Thank you for an incredible experience! ❤️

Once considered a standout among New York’s speakeasies, this bar still delivers well-executed cocktails that meet expectations in terms of balance and technique. However, in the context of an increasingly competitive cocktail scene, it now feels somewhat overshadowed — particularly when it comes to creativity in presentation and the use of innovative ingredients. That said, the quality remains solid, and for those seeking a classic speakeasy experience with reliably crafted drinks, it still holds its place.
Luke Qian - 6 months ago

We had a date night at Employees Only, and it was absolutely phenomenal. The steak tartare and lamb chops were perfectly prepared, flavorful and balanced. But what truly made the night special was Jelena. Her warm smile, genuine hospitality, and attentiveness elevated the entire experience and made us feel truly taken care of. Thank you for such a memorable evening. We can’t wait to come back!!

Fun small spot with a good cocktail selection in the West Village. I tried the Firm Handshake, Cucumber Gimlet, hot spiked cider, and orange gold. I would not recommend the hot spiked cider because it wasn’t that balanced but everything else was delicious depending on your liquor of preference. The orange gold was pleasant-better than expected and very smooth but not too sweet. People liked the winter chill, which is very mezcal forward. There is Macallan 10 and 12 here but not 15. The crowd skews younger.

Recommended by another neighborhood bartender. Couldn't have found a more perfect place to spend a few hours in the afternoon. Devon was fantastic behind the bar. Made us feel like we were at our home bar in Hartford. Will definitely be back the next time we're in the city.

I came here for a solo lunch during the late afternoon on a Sunday. Seating was super easy. I began at the bar but moved to a table with “people-watching” views. My server was very attentive to my needs and came back to check in often. I didn’t order a drink but the Brussel sprouts and burger are meals I’d definitely order again.
