West Village setting aside, this gathering spot is a London-style gastro-pub in every sense of the word. For starters, there is the food, an inventive combination of British and Italian favorites prepared using local ingredients – go for the smoked haddock chowder or sautéed quail with cippolini and marinated figs. More than that, the restaurant also boasts a solid wine selection and, in keeping with the pub tradition, a tasty lineup of drafts. Perennially packed, the Spotted Pig does not accept reservations ... but, oh, is it ever worth the wait! TRAIN: 1, 9 to Christopher-Sheridan Sq; A, C, E to 14th St |
