Freemans

Hidden down a back alley in the Lower East Side, Freeman's is definitely one of the cutest restaurants in New York City . You MUST order the artichoke dip . It's truly incredible.

Solid lunch spot . Chicken sandwich is great but hold the honey mustard . Ask for chipotle mayo instead. Side of fries cause they're perfect... and another side of chipotle mayo for those fries . Trust.

Their English breakfast is a heavy and delicious dish. The restaurant is quite spacious with two floors. Still be prepared for a 1h wait on weekends.

the venison stew along with a bourbon is just right for a cold, snowy evening. side tip: they've also got great private rooms for group dinners .

Get the artichoke dip !! The best. The portions not that big if youre looking for a bigger brunch . But you can always order more things :) The interior design is super cute esp the 2nd floor.

Tucked away in the back of a dark alley, is this cool spot with yummy mac and cheese , pork belly hush puppies , spinach dip , crazy horseradish cheddar toast , and filet mignon .

Definitely the artichoke dip is a must anytime. I don't know why anyone hasn't said this but the Pork sandwich is amazing! And a must! Come at the end of brunch if you don't want to wait.

It's a magical rabbit hole you wanna fall into. Tell the amazing bar (wo)man what tickles your fancy and get a delightful treat off the menu . All dishes are amazing, especially the artichoke dip .

This place feels like you've been transformed out of NYC. Super romantic vibe . Sit at one of the two bars for a delicious cocktail and order the artichoke dip . Definitely the cutest alley in NYC.

Love it here. The Freeman's cocktail , pork belly sliders , and hot artichoke dip are delicious. Ask for some hot sauce to add a nice kick to the dip .

When you're in Nolita or even visiting the new museum , this is the place to have lunch/dinner! I recommend getting a burger , but I assume everything is good at Freemans.

Come early, it can get busy here. Definitely get the Devils on Horseback which consists of dates stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon , then broiled until crispy . Need we say more?

Follow me down this alley...no really, I swear it's safe. And actually beautifully decorated and delicious. The artichoke dip is a must-app, and the pork belly sandwich with cole slaw is perfect.

Classic restaurant with dark woods and taxidermy lodge vibes. They have a great cocktail program with modern American fare . They offer private dining options and have a 2nd floor bar , Banzarbar.

LES New American institution tucked at the end of Freemans Alley. Always delivers on atmosphere and flavors. Excellent brunch options and bar program.

Everything we got for lunch - spiced lamb burger , avocado and quinoa salad and Devils on horseback (bacon wrapped prunes stuffed with goat cheese ). Plus the cocktails ! Will def be back!

The wait can be a little long but the food makes up for it easily. Definitely have the artichoke dip . Menu rotates every 4 months based on what's in season!

Cozy would be a euphemism to describe how narrow tables are stacked together where we sat. The Lamb & Pork Merguez Meatballs and Grilled Lamb Chops were worth it though. Could be romantic with a date.

Full English Breakfast is nuts ! Perfect place for brunch , very cozy and amazing foods. Highly recommend

Reminds me of a favorite farm-to-table place in VT. Amazing atmosphere and the brunch dish with poached eggs over kale is so satisfying.

Coziest spot with tons of character. Lots of different rooms like an old house, with great decor. Get spinach artichoke dip for the table and thank me later. Great private rooms for parties.

Great seasonal cocktails . Try the spinach and cheese dip , it's good for 2, has a lot bread . I went alone and the bar tender made it very amiable for me. Cozy place. Love the decor.

Can't go wrong with anything you order here. The filet and salmon special is excellent. The restaurant has a great ambiance, perfect for a personal date or a business dinner .

All around solid spot - be it brunch , dinner or just cocktails at the bar . Perhaps a less known fact: this place is GREAT for private parties! Lots of rooms to accommodate for any size!

A good hamburger on a cool and cozy place. The meat is juicy but could use a little more seasoning. Plenty of tasty and fresh pickles that I love. The bread is soft, but cold. Rating 8 out of 10.

Take your friends from out of town here - they'll be impressed at what a sophisticated New Yorker you've become. Order the house cocktail and admire the taxidermy .

One of my favorite brunch spots in the city . Awesome food, great brunchy cocktails , and a cool, interesting environment. Poke around to take in all the taxidermy and vintage items .

This rustic American eatery serves pork belly sliders with mustard BBQ sauce and coleslaw — the perfect starter plate to pave the way for a hearty meal . Read more

Amazing date spot . Hard to find, but once you do it feels like a hidden gem . I would recommend going for drinks and light bites. The dinner menu was not one of my favorites.

Artichokes Dip is a great and - shareable - appetizer , don’t get in there by yourself, bring your friends in! BEC Bk toast will make you melt like butter.

Their Artichoke Dips are to die for, this is a must-try as an appetizer / shareable dish to have alongside other mains! ????

Favorite brunch spot in the city . Get poached eggs w/tomato, white cheddar grits , & bacon . Best lighter fare is homemade granola w/local Greek yogurt & berries . Serving La Colombe coffee here - yum!

Atmosphere is an amazing creation. All food was very good. Nothing mind blowing but good. The staff on the other hand makes you feel unwelcome and not warm. For house setting I would want the opposite

Brunch aka expect a long wait , but can order at the bar . Good, but overpriced, bloody mary . The buttermilk biscuit with a fried egg , bacon , and cheese is pretty legit. I'd go every now and then.

Cozy atmosphere . Get here early. Ask for the second floor seats.

there's so much to live here. rooms are sexy, staff is great, drinks are delicious and food is wonderful. one of my favorite places to have fun. highly recommended.

Low light , buzzing atmos. Lovely staff , sublime cocktails . Artichoke dip is sensational. Shame the fillet mignon was unseasoned - melt in the mouth but flavourless. Pork belly & beans YUM!

The chicken breast is ????????????, so is the artichoke dip , and the location, and the decor, this place is ????????????

Lively and nice atmosphere (good for dates ). I loved the chicken breast ; the chocolate brownie dessert with ice cream was more than finger-licking good!!!

The food, cocktails and atmosphere are amazing! Definitely get the artichoke dip and the devils on horseback !

Wasn't a fan of the Bloody Mary , but the bartender is a pro mixologist . No almond milk or soy milk for lattes . The white salad on the appetizer menu was excellent and enough for a meal.

Be sure to order the devils on horseback (bacon wrapped dates ). This LES favorite is a great place to get together with friends for good food and drinks.

Great date spot for a cocktail and romance. Get the Freeman's cocktail !

Tricky place to find! Very chill atmosphere. Frank the bartender is such a sweetheart! Order their artichoke dip ! We ordered seconds ;)!

Trout is a whole fish , no sides. So load up on sides because it's delicious

The food was great! Even the macaroni n cheese was delightful and high-class! Great wine and hip atmosphere !

Really great skillet eggs and cocktails . Come with more than 2 people and expect to wait a good while in a not-so-friendly waiting space. Super good french fries .

Always my favorite in the alley. Genuine food and great decoration. Second floor private rooms are awesome

This place is amazing! You feel like you’ve left Manhattan . Food is incredible! Devils on Horseback delish starter then the Cod ! Yummm!!!

Amazing cocktails and great food with a warm + cozy atmosphere . To top off dinner , the fig ice cream atop a warm brownie was heavenly
