If you are a fan of Tribeca bistro
Cercle Rouge, consider checking out owner Georges Forgeois's newest restaurant, which opened about a month ago in the West Village. Head chef Rebecca Weitzman is preparing fancy favorites like Seared Diver Scallops and Suckling Pig Porchetta. The extensive cocktail menu offers equally extravagant options like the French-inspired Provencale and a city-themed New York Sour. There is a large, circular bar area, perfect for a quick drink as well as window side tables and booths that are great for lingering over a gourmet meal.
