DK Travel : New York : Greenwich Village : Places to eat

Babbo

An attractive setting and the inventive Italian fare created by TV chef Mario Batali make this a very popular spot. Reserve in advance to ensure a table.
Blue Hill

Highly praised New American fare that uses local, seasonal ingredients, served in intimate, elegant surroundings.
Blue Ribbon Bakery

A casual Village favorite with an enormous, eclectic menu that includes everything from croissants and caviar to the signature fried chicken.
Café de Bruxelles

Mussels and frites can’t be beat at this comfortable restaurant. Don’t miss the impressive selection of Belgian beers either.
Café Loup

An agreeable French bistro, where favorite dishes include tuna carpaccio, steak, and roast chicken. The setting is romantic, but there’s also a funky bar.
Da Silvano

Watch the celebrities come and go from a table outside. The northern Italian fare here is consistent, and the buzz even better.
Home

Food like Mom used to make (provided she was a terrific cook) keeps this narrow café crowded. The patio provides a breath of fresh air.
Il Mulino

Another top Italian. Quality is consistent, portions are large, and the brick-walled room is inviting. Try the homemade ravioli with black truffles in creamy champagne sauce.
Pastis

Hot, hot, hot is this straight-out-of-Paris café; order steak frites or escargots, and get into the spirit of things.
Sushi Samba

The Japanese/Brazilian fusion cuisine and cocktails are inspired, but the trendy crowd comes here for the rooftop deck and live music on sunny days.
