Restaurants Near Blue Note

Joseph Leonard
170 Waverly Place, West Village, NYConceived in the spirit of Little Owl, this is a tiny West Village restaurant perfectly engineered for surveying action while you eat. Dinner is generally better than brunch, but it’s a nice place to dine any time of day.

Lowcountry
142 W. 10th St., West Village, NYWe don’t know much about the “low country”, other than that the term refers to a specific area of coastal South Carolina and Georgia, and that they know how to do some serious cooking down there. Also that any proper gentleman of the region should own several bow-ties, open doors for ladies, and play in [...]

Bar Carrera
146 W. Houston St., Greenwich Village, NYBar Carrera is an example of little things done right. The diminutive Spanish restaurant and wine bar turns out excellent small plates from a tiny kitchen at the back of the room.

Lupa
170 Thompson St., Greenwich Village, NYDid you know that Affliction makes blazers? Well they do. We saw one at Lupa. On a real person. I suppose just in case you need to dress up that mixed martial arts look you’ve got going on. At this point, you either know, or shouldn’t be surprised to learn that Mario Batali restaurants can [...]

Wong
7 Cornelia St., Greenwich Village, NYWe’re not big fans of the word “Pan-Asian.” I suppose it evokes visions of a Saturday Night meal at a PF Chang’s somewhere in Northern Virginia. Even worse is when the word “fusion” is added and used to describe a restaurant’s cuisine – a sure fire indication that the place not only sucks, but probably [...]

Blind Tiger
281 Bleecker St., Greenwich Village, NYWe are spoiled in this city…especially when it comes to food, booze, and the general pursuit of things that make us feel good. In a place where pretty much anything you can think of is no further than a cab ride away, it’s easy to become jaded and complain about the few things you can’t [...]

Kingswood
121 W. 10th St., West Village, NYWow. How did we not know that Kingswood is such a scene? There are so many single ladies circling that bar that it feels like a perfume-laden shark tank. There’s blood in the water and I’m scared.

Wilfie & Nell
228 W. 4th St., West Village, NYWilfie & Nell is, first and foremost, a place you come to drink, rather than a place you come to eat. Consider it an added bonus that the bar food you’ll likely be eating while standing near a tiny ledge is pretty good.

10 Downing
10 Downing St., West Village, NYA great bar scene and nicely designed restaurant, but we’re conflicted about how good the food here really is.

Tertulia
359 Avenue of the Americas, West Village, NYAfter all the fuss that’s been made over Tertulia from the “professional” food writers – including rave reviews, year end listage and general chef Seamus Mullen circle jerking, we expected to roll in here and be so blown away by Spanish food done right that, by the time we left, we’d be booking flights to [...]
