$$$$ • Eastern european • Greenwich Village
Gusi is a two-storey Eastern European restaurant and bar in the heart of Greenwich Village, where refined comfort cuisine meets Mediterranean warmth. Founded by Boris Artemyev and Elena Melnikova, Gusi brings together an expansive dumpling program, rotating borscht interpretations, house-pickled vegetables, house-infused vodkas, a curated wine list, and warm, intuitive hospitality.Named after the Slavic word for “geese,” Gusi is inspired by movement, memory, migration, and the feeling of finding your way home. The restaurant unfolds across two distinct floors: a grounded, art-filled first-floor dining room and bar, and an elevated second-floor retreat with hand-painted murals, cocktails, wine, and views of Greenwich Village.Located at 432 Sixth Avenue, Gusi offers a soulful New York dining experience rooted in Eastern European heritage, Mediterranean influence, natural ingredients, thoughtful design, and a deep sense of welcome.
