Charm & Privacy
Monday, March 06, 2006
This cute place is located within the scenic Tudor-style Hudson View Gardens, which claims to be the 1st Co-op in Manhattan. In order to enter the restaurant, you walk down through an attractive gate, so it feels like you're entering the lovely apartment complex. Inside, there are a few tables for casual dining, featuring really friendly service, reasonable prices, and a sort of living room sense of comfort and belonging. The food is just ok, but really the feel, sense of privacy, and a sense that you almost live in the co-op (without having to pay the exorbitant maintenance fees!) is worth it alone. A really nice place after a hard day at work, when you want a meal without to much noise or bother and just want to feel at home.
