West Village in New York

6 places for West Village in New York, picked by creators — with what they said.

Joe's Pizza — Beatrice Richer, Jon Barr
Greasy with cheese that stretches for days—exactly the New York slice they'd always imagined—and gave it a perfect 10.
Heads up: The line is very long, and there are definitely tastier slices to be found elsewhere in New York.
Murray's Bagels — Beatrice Richer
Praised the wide variety of smoked fish and the standout menu, calling the salmon and caper bagel a perfect 10 out of 10.
Heads up: Known from reviews for having long lines, and the egg sandwich fell short of expectations since the cheese wasn't melted.
4 Charles Prime Rib — Beatrice Richer
Introduced as the most famous burger restaurant in New York.
Heads up: Getting a reservation is described as nearly impossible.
Molly's Cupcakes — Jon Barr
Said to have better cupcakes than Magnolia.
Bleecker Street Pizza — Jon Barr
Recommended over Joe's for a slice in Greenwich Village.
Magnolia Bakery — Jon Barr
The classic banana pudding, small size, is still a great deal at $4.95 and hasn't disappointed in years. Bleecker Street is a pretty neighborhood, great for a stroll with it in hand.
Heads up: Pre-ordering online lets you skip the line; otherwise the wait can be long depending on the time. The cupcakes are unremarkable.
