Cozy New American Fare & Drinks On The Orient Express In the West Village

If you want to feel like you’re taking your S.O. over to a friend’s place—but with really good food—head to Joseph Leonard. On the menu is New American fare like duck breast, stuffing with bacon and gruyere, and fried artichokes. The friendly staff, great food and inviting ambiance make us want to move in permanently. Is that allowed?

After your delicious meal, pop over to Orient Express for a nightcap. Exactly what you're thinking — this place is an upscale bar modeled after a vintage railway car (#AgathaChristieStatus) with classic cocktails and homemade mixers. Scan their Instagram for drink inspiration before you head over.
