YVES

Tribeca is known for film festivals but where can you drink and dine before, or after, a show? Yves has you covered. Sunny and warm even in the colder months, it’s the perfect stop for a boozy brunch or cozy dinner for two.

The standout chicken meatballs are rich, saucy, and braised to perfection—consider them a must! If you’re looking for a lighter meal, their loaded salads are extremely popular with the trendy crowd the neighborhood draws in. If you’re not in the salad mood, the crispy and tender veal schnitzel and the burger big enough to share.

Even the drinks, garnished with everything from dehydrated blood orange slices to tiny clothespins were flavorful and potent. WARNING: Watch out for those jewel-toned champagne cocktails, with pureed mango and other seasonal flavors they vanish all too soon.
