Mediterranean Restaurant · West Village · 79 tips and reviews
Heena: Wine from Portugal, hummus with warm pita, fried artichokes are must (do squeeze fresh lemon), chopped salad, veggie tagine yum and Hubster loved salmon. Mushroom ravioli not oily/creamy, typical.
Michael DeFranco: A great brunch. The Mediterranean Brunch is a great way to start any morning. Try it with eggs sunny side up.
Swen Graham: Baked meatballs are a must. And the fried artichoke. And pretty much every small plate on the menu.
@thirsty: Located on the north side of Madison Square Park, Black Barn sources ingredients locally. Check out the Strawberry Field, with muddled strawberry, Botanist gin, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup.
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍: BlackBarn is a farm-to-table American cuisine. Been keeping an eye out for their reopening after the pandemic. Always a great spot to enjoy a wonderful meal with both satisfying service and ambience

1375 Broadway (37th and Broadway), New York, NY
Coffee Shop · Garment District · 6 tips and reviews
Kevin O'Neill: Australian coffee joints are simply dominating this city and there's good reason. They make some of the best lattes/flat whites around. No different here, get your fave espresso drink here.
Matthias: While the coffee is really good, I would not necessarily come back for the food. Very plain with barely any flavor. I prefer a bit more of “a kick” or “shock” when I dig into food... 😅
Arthur Esque: Rude, inconsistent service. Worse coffee.
