"The Beatrice Inn makes the kind of food you start fantasizing about when you get lost in the desert for several days. Things like fried chicken, meat pies, and a roasted half duck. Order online for pickup and delivery." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
"A decade or so ago, The Beatrice Inn was a bar where you’d go to party with the sort of people who sat in the front row at Fashion Week. Now it’s a restaurant, and it’s essentially a shrine to various forms of meat. You can get duck, boar, lobster, and a bunch of different cuts of steak here - and, sure, none of them will be cheap. But you’re here for a birthday party, not for a deal. So get a big shellfish platter and some creme brulee in a hollowed-out beef bone, and eat them beneath a portrait of a zebra in this West Village townhouse." - bryan kim
"Maybe you normally would have had plans to go to the Beatrice Inn this week, sit in a big leather booth beneath an oil painting, and split a tomahawk steak with the only person who gets a little tongue when you kiss. That, unfortunately, is going to have to wait - but you can still get that steak delivered to your apartment. Or, if you want a piece of meat that’s a little more manageable, you can also get a New York strip, half a duck, or dry-aged burger with caramelized onions. As a beverage pairing, add a bottle of Champagne to your order." - bryan kim
"If you want to spend a significant amount of money on some very rich food, but can’t get into 4 Charles (where you’d be dipping your fries in creamed spinach and calling that a vegetable), try The Beatrice Inn. It’s in the bottom of a townhouse on 12th Street, and the main dining room has ferns, a fireplace, and a portrait of a zebra. You won’t find any zebra on the menu, but you will find steak, pork, venison, and rabbit. Everything is pretty expensive, but now at least that won’t be a surprise." - bryan kim
"There are places that specialize in fried chicken or steak or burgers, and then there’s Beatrice Inn. This West Village spot pretty much only serves different types of meat, and it does them all really well. Order a 160-day whiskey-aged tomahawk for your anniversary, or a pork pie with bone marrow and beef suet crust for the final episode of Too Hot To Handle. Either way, add a bottle of Champagne." - matt tervooren
