Sarabeth's Greenwich Village
About Sarabeth's Greenwich Village
Sarabeth’s Greenwich Village brings the brand’s iconic hospitality to a prime corner of Manhattan, where Greenwich Village meets SoHo. Located just steps from Washington Square Park and NYU, the venue combines the airy, polished aesthetic of a classic American bistro with the vibrant energy of West Houston Street. The atmosphere is defined by light-filled dining rooms and a refined interior that transitions seamlessly from bright, professional daytime meetings to warm, candlelit evening celebrations.
While Sarabeth’s is legendary for its brunch, the Greenwich Village location is purpose-built for diverse private events, ranging from intimate dinners to large-scale receptions. The cuisine focuses on elevated American classics, complemented by a full-service bar program featuring specialty cocktails. What sets this location apart is its layout flexibility; it offers everything from a lower-level private room with audiovisual capabilities to a main dining room that can be closed off entirely for exclusive events without the interference of general restaurant service.
