    Snug and atmospheric, this West Village standby has been serving seriously good French (Friday bouliabesse is very good!) and less specifically French (tasty tortellini, baked salmon) and not-at-all French (a delicious lobster roll) cuisine for many years. Kind and attentive waitstaff. Low ceiling, but the crowd is generally considerate. If you get a table of howlers near you, ask if you can move to the other room.

    Every visit to NYC includes a trip to Cafe Cluny for an amazing experience that combines the ambiance, cocktails and cuisine to create a memorable meal. And of course, followed by a stroll through the quaint neighborhood.
