Gnocco
Nice thin crust pizza and more by authentic Italian cooks. There's also a garden out back.
Planet Thailand
Good thai food and sushi at the center of hipster cool.
Lenny's Clam Bar
Far out but great red sauce, clams and seafood.
Tortilla Flats
Mexican food in a fun environment. Frozen margaritas and party lights help to set the mood.
Fairway Cafe And Steakhouse
Hidden on the second floor of a Fairway Supermarket (no kidding!) is a really good restaurant. The $29 Prix Fixe menu is a great deal. Right across from the Beacon Theater on Broadway.
Florent
Very hip French bistro in the meatpacking district. A fun atmosphere in the very early hours of the morning. Crowded for brunch on Sundays.
Casa
Great food and nice Brazilian drinks in a small room with a wall of windows that looks out to a row of brownstones.
La Lanterna Caffe
Cozy Italian cafe in the heart of the village.
Bamonte's
Old world Italian. This family run restaurant has a wall of glass giving you a view directly into the kitchen. Has been in the neighborhood for over 100 years. Closed on Tuesdays.
