MAS (FARMHOUSE) ~ food | west village | manhattan

Dear foodie-licious Steph,

Mas (farmhouse) is my favourite restaurant in the West Village. It is Michelin-star-quality farm-to-table cuisine in a beautiful fine-dining setting, without the wildly expensive prices of a Michelin-star restaurant. 

It's a fancy occasion sort of restaurant, and you're a fancy occasion sort of girl. You will love this place.

ALTA ~ food | west village | manhattan

Dear tapas-enthusiast Laura,

Alta is an incredibly well-hidden Spanish tapas restaurant in the Village. They have the most extensive food menu and they do pretty damn good sangria. I love the beef short rib, duck breast and the calamari. 

You'll want to book ahead and look up where it is on the map!

MALATESTA TRATTORIA ~ food | west village | manhattan

Dear pannacotta-crazed Jemima,

Malatesta is my local Italian restaurant, it has an intimate atmosphere and the funny waitstaff greet you in Italian and pour you huge glasses of wine. The pastas are cheap and cheerful, and the desserts are fun to share.

You might want to double your order of the delicious pannacotta.
