• Pizzeria • West Village

A typical food love story. A boy meets a girl while eating pizza. He attends culinary school and open’s a pizza restaurant named after the girl. Thus bringing us to Emily! The Manhattan iteration of the Brooklyn based pizzeria centered around a historic brick oven and comforting food. Emily has earned a following for its signature Detroit-style pies and award winning burger. The pizza here is rectangular (not round) and utilizes the "frico" technique, in which cheese is drizzled on the edges of the pie to create a crispy brown exterior. Beyond the main event, the menu extends to include salads and sandwiches, which shouldn't be ignored (think an attention-grabbing burger and a top-notch spicy fried chicken sandwich). Please note, there will be a time limit of 1 hour 30 minutes for guests so we can fairly utilize our limited capacity. Our outdoor dining is enclosed with heaters that will keep you toasty! Thank you :)

My wife and I last ate at Tavern on the Green 19 years ago, and it was great to bring our now grown up Children here during a family Christmas trip to New York from the UK. The Tavern is still charming, with good service and great (Christmassy) atmosphere. We had a selection of Burgers and Sandwiches between us and all were good, although a little big for a UK appetite! We really enjoyed our experience.

First time at RH Rooftop for me and my friends. Chosen to celebrate my milestone birthday. We were all so impressed with the elegant ambiance, crystal chandeliers, superb waitstaff and service, delicious food prepared to perfection. And the best was a surprise birthday candle for dessert with a warm soft yummy chocolate chip cookie. We will definitely come back for another lovely experience.

Born and raised in nyc and I can definitely confirm that this restaurant without a doubt is the most authentically romantic place to have a date night in the city. The food was exquisite! Made you want to keep eating even though you’re full. I proposed to my girlfriend here and it was everything I imagined and then some. Through the proposal planning process of how to do it, the staff was almost more excited about it than I was. This restaurant is the personification of a 10 out of 10.

Food was great. Made the mistake to not look further into the restaurant, it is definitely a place intended to go with a group as the portions are a healthy size so I took plenty home (which is a good thing). Great service, everyone is nice. The basement was nice and can foresee myself returning with at least another person.
