- LLizVIPNew York City •17 reviews5.0Dined todayAbsolutely LOVED my first NY Gjelina experience. I was so sad when they had to shut down right after opening as their Venice, CA location is the best. Finally made to NYC now that they are back and open and loved it. The ambiance, the space, the food, everything was on point. Can't wait to go back!More infoGjelina - New YorkPrice: Expensive• Farm-to-table• East Village•4.5

- RRachelSan Francisco Bay Area •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoFood was incredible. might be the best thai we’ve had in the city - beef pad see ew, eggplant, and duck curry were highlights. (Not a place for a long dinner - food comes quickly, which is great, but while staff are very nice about it, they want to get you in and out and under an hour)More infoSoothrPrice: Expensive• Thai• East Village•4.7
- BBrianGreater Boston •2 reviews5.0Dined on 11 Jan 2025The food and service were both excellent, exceeding our already high expectations. One of our party has celiac disease: the server carefully walked us through the menu items that he could choose to eat. The pace of the arrival of the dishes -from snacking items, small plates, and entrees - worked well, and our table was never empty or overcrowded. Three hours passed quickly; we all enjoyed the meal immensely.More infoNudibranchPrice: Moderate• Korean• East Village•4.9

Discover East Village
The East Village was once the heart of New York counterculture. Poets, artists, punk rockers and people who lived against the grain gravitated to St. Mark’s Place, perhaps the most well-known street neighboring Tompkins Square Park. Today, the original character of the place remains, but there’s an abundance of trendy eateries and fast-casual restaurants that take some of the edge out of the place. Still, charming tiny restaurants serving upscale, rustic fare add dimension to the multilayered neighborhood.
