      Tucked into Christopher Street in the West Village, blocks from the Stonewall National Monument and Hudson River waterfront, Calabash is an Afro-Caribbean bakery and brasserie, tracing a story of migration from West Africa through the Caribbean and into the Americas. Chef and Owner Camari Mick, a James Beard Award nominee, leads the kitchen alongside Chef de Cuisine Tajeh Porter, and together they're behind dishes like the Suya Steak Frita, built on bold, smoky spice and rich, satisfying flavor. Mornings bring the bakery case, with coconut canelés, malta vita sticky buns, and beef patty croissants.
      The thirty-four seat dining room is warm and intimate, wrapped in gold and copper tones, with walls lined by the work of Black and brown women artists, brought together by Gallery Director Cierra Britton. Calabash serves no alcohol; instead, we pour house fermented, non-alcoholic adaptogenic mocktails. Open for daytime service Thursday through Sunday, with dinner Friday and Saturday nights.

      Il Colosseo is an Italian restaurant that is a local favorite. The dining room here is small and intimate, which adds to the homey atmosphere the eatery provides. At the back of the dining room, Il Colosseo has an open kitchen where guests can watch as the talented kitchen staff prepares the food. The kitchen is dominated by a giant brick oven where the staff cooks up all of its incredible pizzas.Il Colosseo begins its menu with antipasti like fried calamari for two, baked clams, sautéed octopus, sautéed broccoli rabe and a pasta e fagioli soup with white kidney beans and fusilli noodles in a light tomato broth. Some of the various entrées diners can sample are a chicken Francese, spicy shrimp fra diavolo, veal piccata, pasta bolognese and the Frank Sinatra pasta made with black olives, clams, mussels and shrimp in a garlic and white wine sauce.

      4th visit in 3 years and the service is always on point with the sommelier recommendations always dead on accurate for my/my tables preferences. Food is consistently delicious and new menu items keep it fun. Absolutely worth your time if you enjoy clean food, proper service, and precise food

      My wife and I had an amazing experience at Nobu celebrating our 8th year anniversary. From the moment we arrived, everything felt special. The atmosphere, food, service, and attention to detail were all incredible. The entire evening felt elegant and memorable, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and appreciated. What stood out the most was how much effort was made to make our anniversary special. It wasn’t just a dinner — it felt like an experience we’ll remember for a long time. We’re truly grateful to everyone at Nobu for making such an important night for us so beautiful. We will definitely be coming back!

      Top tier dining experience. Went for a wedding anniversary dinner and the care and attention of the entire staff made it feel like a very special and curated intimate experience well worth the $$$$. Food was delicious - we went with recommendations from the staff and ordered a la carte so that we could make a show at msg after dinner. Plan to go back with a larger group bc the experience was that grand. Highly recommend.

      Everything was and always is perfect. The restaurant is run like a well oiled machine so the service is outstanding with happy servers. Will was perfect last night. The food is always excellent which is why the restaurant is booked every night. The noise level is festive and still so comfortable to have a conversation. Finally, it’s very NY. The patrons are from the neighborhood, this is not a tourist spot.

    Restaurant experiences trending in New York City

    Discover New York

    When a city never sleeps, waking hours are spent in cafes, diners, bars and restaurants of every shape and size that give New York its unique flavor. Once famous for pizza by-the-slice (local loyalties run deep), black-and-white cookies, and old world, mahogany-paneled steakhouses—the dining rooms of titans of business and other famous folks—Manhattan is now estimated to have 24,000 restaurants, from midtown’s korean barbecue to fast casual vegan burgers. Pillowy pork buns? You got it. French rotisserie? That too. And, of course, there will always be the perfect bagel, preferably toasted dark with smoked salmon, cream cheese, tomato, onions, and capers.
