Karla Sosa: Everything they make is delicious. Amazing French breads and pastries, and their cakes are to die for
April Walloga: Best boulangerie north of Bouchon. Great fruit tarts, chocolate chip cookies, and quiche. I'm partial to the butter loaf, milk bread, and ciabatta. Croissants not so much:(
Serious Eats: One of our favorite bakeries on the Upper West Side. Great baguettes, strong sandwiches, and sweets that go light on the sugar.

Caila Quinn: If the Anthropologie Store had a restaurant, this would be it. Local organic.. my favorite is the house roasted turkey sandwich jalapeños, ask for the fresh french bread to be toasted 👌🏼
Tasting Table: Try the pretzel-dusted calamari for pops of fun, and the crab toast with lemon aioli, always shocking with its generous heaping of crab: Read more.

Brazilian Restaurant · West Village · 65 tips and reviews
Michael Dempsey: Awesome Brazilian food in one of the coziest spots in the west village.
Eric Litman: Get the coconut caipirinha. They've somehow figured out how to extract 300% more coconut from a coconut than that coconut actually contained.
@JaumePrimero: So much delicious food, you could definitely split a dish. The caipirinhas are tops in the city!

Phoenix 💥💥💥: Go for the potato pancakes
New York Habitat: Great sausage platters but they're made even better with the beer options. Be wary, if you want to drink out of the 2 liter boot, it takes a $60 cash deposit.

Rob Kelley: Treat yourself to a cheap luxury lunch. Buy bisque or opened oysters from Lobster Place, French bread from Amy's, and a lovely screwcap wine (half or full) from Chelsea Vault. Sip & sup outside Vault
Ana Carolina Miranda: The lobster place is an incredible experience. The Filling Station and its craft beer is a party saver, and the L'arte del gelato has the best gelato in town.
Kathryn Yu: Chelsea Market is built inside the old Nabisco Factory. The first Oreo was baked here in 1912.
