Kyle Garrity: Best White Russian of my life
@JaumePrimero: a hidden bar in the west village that is great for an intimate rendezvous, date, or small gathering of friends. Love the gin cocktails here.

Comedy Club · Greenwich Village · 155 tips and reviews
Demetra Greathouse: You will get a variety of comics in one night & some cameos! Awesome!! We loved it!
Lauren T.: Best comedy club in NYC. Every time I've gone a big name shows up to surprise the crowd with a set (like Louis CK, Damon Wayans &Colin Quinn). Always a fun time.
New York Habitat: If you've never been to a comedy club, make sure you come here for your first time. Great talent in a fun and interactive environment. Big name comics often do sets on any given night too!
Matt MacVey: Amazing rice and beans. I usually get the combo with roast chicken. Croquetas are great too.
Harlem Ambassador: There are at least 5 of these and frankly they don't differ from each other. Go here after a night of revelry and debauchery and you're sure to get satisfying portions of artery clogging fare. cheap!
C Negra: Good food, nice vibe-as long as ya don't get caught in the party crowd from next door (on the weekends... unless you're into that kind of thing :-)

Stef Chevy: Delicious French Classics! Loved the Moules Marinières with garlic French fries. The grilled Branzino which was crispy on the outside with a sauce Provençale.
Stephanie: Brunch is the best, get either the french toast with syrup or the poached eggs and salmon. They are both to die for
Ron Caldwell: Great neighborhood spot. Reasonable prices; great wait staff. Pleasant place to have a drink at the bar.
