Le Baratin

Where To Go When You’ve Eaten Everywhere In The West Village - New York - The Infatuation

"You’ve probably seen Rosemary’s. It’s that big, light-filled Italian restaurant at 10th and Greenwich where your roommate’s best friend likes to eat after attending a sample sale in Soho - and it gets extremely busy. So instead of going there, try Le Baratin. It’s only a few doors down, and it’s a charming neighborhood spot that feels like something you’d find on a residential street in Paris. Inside the brick-walled room it usually smells like a mix of incense and chicken. The food isn’t exactly mind-blowing, but you can get some steak frites or a good piece of duck here, and you’re going to want to hang out for several hours regardless of what’s in front of you." - bryan kim
