5 Postcards
Snack Taverna is a cozy West Village gem where you can savor fresh, creative Greek dishes and wines in an inviting, laid-back atmosphere.
"This small West Village spot has a loyal following and an excellent Greek salad. It also has a great wine list full of Greek wines that start at $12 by the glass, and it’s perfect for a date night in the West Village when you want to share a bunch of things (like zucchini fritters and saganaki) and leave without spending all the money you have earmarked for clothing and shelter. Start with the lamb meatballs, and make a reservation. This place fills up at night." - Hannah Albertine, Bryan Kim, Neha Talreja, Carina Finn Koeppicus
"The menus for lunch and dinner here include the standards—there's hummus, tzatziki, boureki, and the like—but this isn't your typical family-run diner. The chef turns out fresh interpretations all day long. At lunch, we tend to gravitate toward their big, fresh salads, and in the evening, we love combining "mezedes"—hearty veggie dishes—with our mains. "
"You’ve probably heard of Kiki’s (and their two-hour waits), and you’re probably aware of the fact that Astoria has an extremely high concentration of excellent Greek restaurants. But the West Village also has one of the best places to eat Greek food in the city, and it’s called Snack Taverna. With its hardwood floors and brick walls covered in black-and-white photos, it looks like your standard, charming West Village spot where you could introduce your significant other to your parents, and it’s a great place for some casual taramasalata and branzino." - Bryan Kim
"This small West Village spot has a loyal following and an excellent Greek salad. It also has a great wine list full of Greek wines that start at $8 by the glass, and it’s perfect for a date night in the West Village when you want to share a bunch of things (like zucchini fritters and saganaki) and leave without spending all the money you have earmarked for clothing and shelter. Start with the lamb meatballs, and make a reservation. This place fills up at night." - Bryan Kim
"Snack Taverna is a lowkey West Village brick-walled joint that serves up an edited, something-for-everyone array of Greek-leaning Mediterranean food. Most of the menu encourages sharing, with a range of spreads and plenty of small plates, divvied up equally into vegetarian and meat or seafood-centric choices, like veal meatballs and sautéed calamari. Lunch offers up more casual souvlaki and sandwiches, and brunch is served on weekends, too." - Alexandra Ilyashov
