Corner Bistro is a beloved dive in the West Village known for its hearty burgers and chill vibes, where everything’s served on paper plates and priced for your midnight cravings.
"It’s not the fanciest burger, and it’s served on a disposable plate better suited for a side of potato salad, but who cares? Corner Bistro is immortal, a tenured member of the city’s beer-and-burger scene. Bring cash, and enjoy your majestically tall puck of meat in an antique booth at this West Village bistro." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, sonal shah
"You aren’t sure exactly how long it’s been since you last stood up from your computer, but you do know that you’re hungry, it’s late, and aside from Joe’s and some bars on 7th Avenue full of people who wish they were still at Cornell, most places have stopped serving food. Head to Corner Bistro, a classic and charmingly divey spot that stays open until 4am everyday. The booths and tables might be full, but you can almost always find a seat at the bar. Get some $5 beers and one of the best burgers in the city. " - team infatuation
"Corner Bistro is an old, divey West Village institution, and if you haven't been here yet, it's honestly a little embarrassing. The order here is simple: bistro burger, fries, and a cold beer. Just remember to bring cash." - matt tervooren, neha talreja
"One of the few remaining bohemian dive bars in the West Village, Corner Bistro is a throwback to a time when West Village was a true artist hangout: everything is served on a paper plate and most menu items are below $15." - Elise Taylor
"This NYC classic is still doing pickup and delivery, which means you can still get a comforting grilled cheese or a bistro burger with a giant puck of beef delivered to your home. Go online or call 212-242-9502." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
