One if by Land, Two if by Sea: If your date brings you here, he’s doing something right. So charming that it’s been the backdrop to many a proposal, wedding, and anniversary dinner over the years, this West Village carriage house has sparkling chandeliers, two fireplaces and live piano every day. Expect hefty price tags on hit-or-miss traditional French-American dishes (Beef Wellington, roasted duck) available as either a $78 three-course pre-fixe, $95 seven-course chef tasting ($150 with wine pairings), or $12 to $15 bar menu. For a less wallet-draining experience, check out their $20 Sunday brunch, with options such as Eggs Benedict with crumpets, prosciutto di parma and steamed asparagus to cure the noblest of hangovers. |
