Let me start off by saying, this was a fantastic dining experience! From the beautiful decor, to the extensive menu, the friendly and educated staff and, of course, the food! There are so many options this is a great place to bring a larger group to order a lot and share; it also makes for …
Osteria Morini
They have a great happy hour menu that not only includes drinks but also food! There are enough options that you could make it a small dinner with drinks. My favorite was the Piadina di Mortadella–basically an Italian style quesadilla with mortadella, marinated peppers, and provolone

Olio e Piú
I love the location of this restaurant right in the hustle bustle of West Village with the option to dine outdoors. The pastas here are all fresh and made in house and they also have Neapolitan style pizzas.

The Little Beet
I crave this for lunch pretty regularly because everything is always so consistently good and they now have 3 locations in NYC!

This place is known for its Detroit-style pizza but do NOT forget to order the burger it’s one of the BEST in NYC! The first location in Williamsburg was such a hit that they opened a second (thank the pizza and burger gods!) in West Village.

Lenwich
This is one of my ultimate go-to places for lunch when I’m craving a good sandwich and don’t want to settle for your average bodega deli sandwich. I also love stopping here and getting a sandwich for the plane before I had to the airport.

&pizza
This place started in DC and had such a cult following that New Yorkers were lucky enough to get to experience &pizza themselves. I love all the different possibilities you can make if you “do it yourself” and they even have vegan cheese and gluten free pizza dough!

Castell Rooftop Bar
Great rooftop bar in Midtown for drinks and bites inside OR outside…if you order enough bites (like I did) you can make it dinner!

BoCaphe
This spot is located in such a cute area in SoHo! It’s a great spot for “upscale” but still casual Vietnamese food.
