Dining & Nightlife in

Greenwich Village

While Greenwich Village is known for its quiet, quaint atmosphere, it’s also renowned for its dining and nightlife scene. Cuisines from across the world can be found in the neighborhood, while bars and speakeasies of all kinds dot the streets. One could spend days and not try everything available here.


Below is a list of establishments that we personally recommend to help you decide where to go during your stay with us.
