• Pizzeria • West Village

A typical food love story. A boy meets a girl while eating pizza. He attends culinary school and open’s a pizza restaurant named after the girl. Thus bringing us to Emily! The Manhattan iteration of the Brooklyn based pizzeria centered around a historic brick oven and comforting food. Emily has earned a following for its signature Detroit-style pies and award winning burger. The pizza here is rectangular (not round) and utilizes the "frico" technique, in which cheese is drizzled on the edges of the pie to create a crispy brown exterior. Beyond the main event, the menu extends to include salads and sandwiches, which shouldn't be ignored (think an attention-grabbing burger and a top-notch spicy fried chicken sandwich). Please note, there will be a time limit of 1 hour 30 minutes for guests so we can fairly utilize our limited capacity. Our outdoor dining is enclosed with heaters that will keep you toasty! Thank you :)

Excellent experience. The Roederer champagne by the glass for our apéritif was outstanding. Our petite filet mignon steaks were perfectly cooked, and the sides of fries and asparagus were also very good. The Béarnaise sauce accompanying the steaks was unfortunately very poor, too thin in consistency and almost complete lacking in any suggestion of tarragon, the signature ingredient of this sauce. As promised by our excellent server, Eddie, the Butterscotch Brûlée dessert was dreamy. All in all, a most enjoyable dining experience!

Our experience was incredible. We got a private dining room which they said was just by luck that we got it. We loved it. Our waiter, Sean, was super. He was very attentive to us. Checked on us frequently. I had the chicken pot pie and I loved it. My sister had the oysters and a Scottish egg and she really liked her food. Highly recommend.

Tucked into Central Park, Tavern on the Green was the perfect holiday experience to round out our Christmas in NYC trip! Cozy and festive decor paired with impeccable service and delectable food makes this a “must try” for anyone looking to soak in the magic that is Christmas in New York! I highly recommend the honey roasted fig appetizer and the pan seared scallop entree.
