My personal go-to for morning coffee in the neighborhood. Feel like a West Village local and ease into the morning with a strong flavorful roast.

If you’re feeling a little more adventurous with your morning, stop by Jack’s for a creative and yummy latte or cappuccino concoction with a side of West Village flair. Jack’s also makes a good selection of vegan pastries that’s good for a quick snack with your coffee on the go to your next sightseeing stop.

More of a see and be seen vibe, Partners also has more seating and space to settle in and people watch, though it does still get crowded mid-morning. Partners also has a more comprehensive breakfast menu with organic and vegan options - my personal go to is the granola bowl.

One of my favorite places to grab drinks and dinner. An underground bar known for their old fashioned cocktails and solid food. Make sure to get there early if you just want a drink though, since the bar becomes dining only towards around 7pm and fills up quickly. To enjoy dinner there, also make sure to make a reservation on Resy beforehand.

Try their decadent burger. Also on the same block as the Friends TV show apartment, so stop for a selfie (or watch others do) if you’re a fan of the 90’s TV sensation.

Neighborhood gem for amazing pastries. Try the choux or a jalapeño cheddar scone for a savory treat.
