Rosemary’s

Come December, the West Village haunt kicks things up a notch with beautiful decorations. A bit tamed compared to some of the other spots mentioned on this list, it’s one of my favorite Christmas-decorated restaurants in New York City.

The food is solid and the drinks are great, I’m a big fan of the Garden Martini (vodka, st. germain, clarified cucumber and basil). As for food, the pasta dishes never disappoint.

Named after the owner’s mother, Rosemary’s aims to make dishes with the same love a home-cooked meal has. The Italian restaurant even has a rooftop vegetable garden that helps provide the produce they serve their guests.
