West Village, Manhattan ยท restaurant
A West Village room with low ceilings, dark wood paneling, and candle-lit booths that put you in the headspace of a 19th-century American tavern before the food arrives. The chicken pot pie in cast iron (peppery, flaky, served in the pan) is the standout on a menu of American comfort: Amish roast chicken, grilled octopus, and a cheeseburger with tomato jam. The room fills most nights with regulars who arrived for dinner and stayed for the bar.
