The 17 Best New Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Village Cigars went out of business after a century in 2024—now the only thing that’s rolled here is the dough for khachapuri. The West Village landmark has a second life as Mamali, a charming Georgian cafe that kept all the iconic signs intact. Those signs are still the most exciting thing about this prime corner, but windows on both sides and a rack of magazines make it a sunny spot for a breakfast meeting. Or, if you live nearby, stop in for a glass of saperavi wine, a spritz or a pastry in the evening." - Bryan Kim, Molly Fitzpatrick, Willa Moore, Will Hartman, Sonal Shah
