Petite Abeille - A little bit of Belgium

Petite Abeille

This is a Belgian restaurant. If you're Belgian, it might be redundant, but for me, it was the best place to have the perfect after-work dinner. Frites, Salad and warm oozing chocolate cake. There is also vol au vent, mussels and lots of Tintin/Kuifje decoration.There are three throughout the city. I always went to the tiniest one on the west edge of Greenwich village. It rivals Peppe Rosso To Go as the smallest and best restaurant in NYC, and it has a great cozy atmosphere for a dinner for you. But you can visit others in Tribeca and Chelsea.

They have a decent selection of Belgian beers. However, any decent bar in NYC will have a decent, if not great, selection of Belgian beers. Apparently, to drink like a Belgian is very much “IN” in NYC.

466 Hudson Street (the tiny one on the edge of Greenwich village)

134 West Broadway (Tribeca – always cool to hang out there.)

44 West 17th Street (narrow, long and kind of crappy service. I would skip this one.)

401 East 20th Street (This is new. I have no opinion on this one.)
