• Café • Astoria

Booked 3 times today

Established in 2003, we started as a small cafe and bar with great coffee, snacks, and pizzas. People loved spending time in the café enjoying our frappes or conversing with our friendly staff, so we decided an expansion was in order. In 2006 the first expansion began until our current completed renovation in 2019. We're still serving great coffee, cocktails, and pizza, and have our selection of fresh dishes to choose from that is currently in the works of expanding when our kitchen's renovation reaches its final completion. So come on by, stay awhile, and enjoy all of the beautiful things this Astoria gem has to offer. We are proud to have been offering Avenue Cafe as your home away from home and hope to continue to serve you for more decades to come.

• Italian • West Village

Booked 117 times today

San Sabino is a seafood focused restaurant from wife and husband team, chefs Angie Rito and Scott Tacinelli, in partnership with Quality Branded. After working in some of NYC’s top Italian restaurants and dreaming of opening their own special neighborhood spot, Angie and Scott opened Don Angie in 2018 to tremendous critical acclaim. They quickly became known for boldly unexpected dishes that challenge your perception of traditional Italian-American cooking.Six years later and just a few doors down from Don Angie, they've now opened their second restaurant, San Sabino. Named after Scott’s grandfather (from Sanza, Italy, where most people are named after the patron saint Sabino), San Sabino offers a playful spin on Italian dishes from Shrimp Parm to Pasta Alle Vongole, with bold twists influenced by coastal American cities where many Italians settled, from New Orleans to the Jersey Shore.

• American • Theater District

Booked 48 times today

We take reservations starting one week in advance of your desired date--seven days in advance, starting at midnight online and at 11 a.m. over the phone. And with Broadway's staggered start times, things get tricky, so if your desired time is unavailable online, please give us a call; we hold a certain number of tables for phone reservations only. For parties of six or more, please call the restaurant directly.Because of staggered theater times we can only guarantee reservations made online for one-and-a-half hours for parties of two, and two hours for parties of three or more. Apologies, but we don't reserve tables "only for drinks."For reservations after theater, please check your show's running time on our website.Since 1965, Joe Allen has been a quintessential New York restaurant serving a classic American menu in the heart of the Theater District. Just two blocks from Times Square, it has been a favorite of Broadway performers, locals, and tourists for almost 50 years.

The food was delicious and the drinks were strong. I like the music and the vibe. But I would only recommend if you don’t mind waiting a while. There were only a few waiters and the place was crowded so we had to wait a while before someone took our order. The drinks, appetizer and food took a while to come out.

The ambiance is amazing, will definitely be going back, my choice of food was the sancocho and I was dissatisfied, it was lukewarm, lacked seasoning and tasted more like stewed chicken. The drinks were great. My group of 8 did the bottom less brunch, their food was great they ordered the burger, the tres golpes and the chicken and waffles. Very spacious seating for a small location. The vibes were spot on and the Dj was phenomenal (Dj Chino🫶🏽)!!
