• Pizzeria • West Village

Booked 51 times today

A typical food love story. A boy meets a girl while eating pizza. He attends culinary school and open’s a pizza restaurant named after the girl. Thus bringing us to Emily! The Manhattan iteration of the Brooklyn based pizzeria centered around a historic brick oven and comforting food. Emily has earned a following for its signature Detroit-style pies and award winning burger. The pizza here is rectangular (not round) and utilizes the "frico" technique, in which cheese is drizzled on the edges of the pie to create a crispy brown exterior. Beyond the main event, the menu extends to include salads and sandwiches, which shouldn't be ignored (think an attention-grabbing burger and a top-notch spicy fried chicken sandwich). Please note, there will be a time limit of 1 hour 30 minutes for guests so we can fairly utilize our limited capacity. Our outdoor dining is enclosed with heaters that will keep you toasty! Thank you :)

Fabulous restaurant, one of my all-time favorites in NYC! Great food, superior service, gorgeous decor, and that SPECTACULAR 360-degree rooftop view. You feel like a celebrity. This is where you go when you want to have a special dining experience. Dripping crystal chandeliers, lush foliage inside and out, and the most comfortable, cushy seating. And in the warm weather you can dine outside on chic sofas, high above the pulsating metropolis of Manhattan overlooking the uber-edgy Meatpacking district. The lobster roll is outstanding, as is the burger, and they have the best fries: try the truffle or the sweet potato. Every floor is an exqusite RH showplace, so be sure to visit all five. It doesn't get any better than this!

My sister and I are having a Girl's Weekend and we came here for brunch. We reserved an igloo and it was so adorable, heated nicely, and such a nice space. The only thing I would comment negatively on was the music--so loud. The host stand was amazing and Adam, our server, was fantastic. It'a a beautiful space with a great menu. We had a wonderful time.
