With tree-lined streets and unique architecture, Greenwich Village is home to a wealth of restaurants, cafés, cultural centers, and stores. Whether you’re visiting New York City for the first time or have been a long time resident, there are great finds for everyone dotting the streets of this lively neighborhood.
Make your way to Buvette for a charming ambiance and a delectable brunch. They do not take reservations, but a seat in Buvette is well worth the wait. The Belgian waffle is a must-have for any sweet-breakfast aficionado, but if savory meals are more to your preference, try their scrambled eggs with prosciutto on toast. If the brunch line is too long, not to worry— Buvette offers an afternoon and evening menu as well.
The IFC Center is a Greenwich Village staple. Screening independent films with special series and events, the IFC Center is much more than your average movie theater. On the weekends, you can check out their Weekend Classics at 11 am Friday through Sunday, or catch midnight showings of cult films at their Waverly Midnights on Friday and Saturday. Find current releases, upcoming series and events, and show times here, and be sure to take a peak at the collection of vintage movie posters on display in the Posteritati Gallery.
