Updated 17 May 2026 · 10 places we track in Greenwich Village, first recorded between March 2026 and May 2026

Greenwich Village runs from Washington Square Park down into the old Italian South Village. Carbone is the red-sauce dinner you book the moment tables release. Faicco's Italian Specialties is still on Bleecker for sandwiches and sausages, and Little Branch is the basement bar when the night needs a second act. Walk Bleecker Street for the food and skip the chain shops.

How we chose

We track 10 places in Greenwich Village filed under restaurants. 10 of them turned up in creator videos we pulled apart. 6 places have been saved by Spillist members. Places with a creator mention, a member save or a member gem rank first, and mentions weigh most. The rest runs on a broader popularity signal from our wider place index, so the tail of this list moves less than the top does. Last added to in May 2026.
