"When you’ve lost faith that you’ll find a West Village bar that isn’t overcapacity, turn to St. Jardim. The place only has seven-ish tables and a small bar—behind which you’ll see a record player and a collection of obscure spirits—but it’s usually easy to find a few seats. Get pasta or tuna crudo, or stick to their straightforward, perfectly executed cocktails like the classic sidecar." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja
