April Bloomfield’s Greenwich Village gastro pub is serving up classic pub fare with an upscale twist. The burger with blue cheese and shoe string fries is a must-have dish, and the gnocchi with brown butter and sage is utter perfection.

This no-reservation restaurant does fill up quickly for weekend brunch and dinner, so it’s important to plan accordingly. However, if you are lucky enough to land a table, you’ll likely see a celebrity or two, as this is a hot-spot for famous New Yorkers.
