No. 100: The Little Owl
Food: 25
Decor: 19
Service: 23
Cost: $58
"Little" is an understatement at this 28-seat West Village "gem", where chef Joey Campanaro whips up "fantastic" Med–New Americana in a "cramped", "big-windowed" space; reservations are notoriously "hard to get" – even "if you can eat at 5:30" – so regulars make sure to "mark the calendar" and call 30 days ahead.
90 Bedford St.; 212-741-4695
No. 99: RedFarm
Food: 25
Decor: 17
Service: 21
Cost: $53
Famed for its "elevated" dim sum and "creative" locavore cooking, this "innovative" West Village Chinese is perpetually "packed" with "hip" young types; "tight" tables, a no-rez rule and "noisy" decibels can make the experience a bit "hectic", but it's popular enough to have an UWS spin-off in the works.
529 Hudson St.; 212-792-9700
