This place is so worth tracking down! Up 3 flights, through a door, down the hall to the back of the building. (he has signs in place to lead you there)

I took in 2 pair of boots the other day, both needed serious heel reconstruction. Honestly I am completely impressed with the quality of the work and the price of the repairs. Bonus: they were ready 2 days early and the cobbler called to let me know.

We are very lucky to have this place in the neighborhood! in the west village i overpaid for crappy shoe repair. I look forward to keeping my shoes alive for much longer now.

i can't say enough good things about Dr. Kravets and everyone at Gentle Dental. I have been going here for over a year and they are fantastic. I hate that 2 disgruntled people feel they were somehow scammed or wronged.

I have found this dentist to be uniquely conscientious both in terms of the dental work and dealing with my insurance. 2 root canals, a crown and 2 cleanings later and I am still smiling.

Lovelovelove the fresh, perfectly cooked, affordable food of Westville. It's completely unpretentious, which is a pleasant change of pace in the West Village. I get takeout from here at least a few times a month and have never been disappointed. Dinner and brunch are equally yummy.
Extra-fantabulous meals: grilled mahi mahi, grilled prawns and seared scallops in baby arugula with mango and avocado. Love their spin on huevos rancheros too.
Fair warning: it's hard to get a table around dinnertime because the place is so tiny. Check the website for specials (updated daily). Yum

This has been on my list of "places to try" for a while - now it's at the top of my "places to frequent" list.

I was overwhelmed by the menu because everything looked really yummy. The bartender overheard me saying that I wished there were a tasting menu so I would not have to make decisions. Lucky us! We went with the 5 course tasting menu ($50) + wine pairings ($30) and let them surprise us with every course. And, each course was full of great surprises. The flow was: Raw Kampachi, Wild Bison Loin Tataki, Romesco Oil Poached Halibut, Pork Belly, Grilled Prime Hanger Steak, a sorbet course and a dessert course which was a tasting unto itself.

The food was fantastic, wine pairings were perfect, service was impeccable. Can't wait to go back.

[begin ridiculous gleeful good haircut gushing fest]

shaun is my hair hero
he just gave me what may be the best/cutest haircut everrrr!
expensive i 'spose at $150 but seriously worth every penny.
i have very thin/fine/flat uncooperative hair and now you'd never know.

thanks yelpers for the great reviews or i never would have found this amazing place around the corner. love the products too.

5 stars seem insufficient.

central california produce snob's dream
the first reeeally good nectarines i found in NY
prices are incredible

the insanely long lines are insanely long and that part completely sucks
but they don't lose any stars for that

i don't even mind the working 3 hours a month part.
hauling boxes around and stocking gorgeous organic and/or minimally treated local-ish produce once a month is a nice change of pace.

when i joined the coop i realized that i don't actually live in brooklyn - i live in berkeley.
then i went across the street to the tea lounge and i knew for sure.

This is officially the perfect "i'm home from the bars and i'm out walking the dog at 4am and i need an egg sandwich and vitamin water or i will die" place.

good bagels too
and they make a mean meatball sandwich
and a good ruben
haven't tried the french toast yet
