2 West Village Eateries Earn A Spot On Best Meals Of 2020 Ranking

WEST VILLAGE, NY — While 2020 was filled with unthinkable hardship for restaurants in the West Village and across New York City — it doesn't mean that people stopped enjoying incredible meals in the Lower Manhattan neighborhood.

Eater New York, a popular food website, recently published its "The Best NYC Restaurant Meals Of 2020" list.

The list was compiled by food writers, photographers, chefs, restauranteurs, and a handful of local elected officials.

Here are the two West Village restaurants and meals that made the list of 20 or so selections.

Beatrice Inn: 285 West 12th Street

Mimi Sheraton, a food writer, critic, and cookbook author, selected the braised squab with giblets and oysters from the Beatrice Inn as her favorite meal of 2020. The iconic West Village establishment is a traditional New York chophouse and first opened as a speakeasy in the 1920s.

Loring Place: 21 West 8th Street

None other than State Senator Brad Hoylman picked the West Village restaurant Loring Place as his favorite meal of 2020. His selection? The Thanksgiving dinner kit.

"The turkey may have been the most tender I've ever eaten and the pecan pie was truly memorable," Hoylman wrote in the rankings.

Beatrice Inn and Loring Place might have the only two West Village eateries to make the rankings, but many other Lower Manhattan spots made the list. You can check out all the selected restaurants on the Eater NY website.
