New American Restaurant · West Village · 198 tips and reviews
Princess Abigail Bacani: Go around the corner on Morton St and look for an unmarked steel door that leads into a courtyard. If you follow the address and try to enter on Hudson St, you'll just find a door that doesn't open.
Princess Abigail Bacani: Hidden under a corner roadside taqueria, The Corner. Go downstairs behind a door marked "employees only", sneak through the kitchen, then a sort of locker room, to get to this underground restaurant.
57 Great Jones St (btwn Bowery & Lafayette St), New York, NY
Japanese Restaurant · NoHo · 181 tips and reviews
Princess Abigail Bacani: Tucked behind a butcher shop in a building previously owned by Andy Warhol, this hidden eatery isn't just hard to find - it's hard to get into. Authentic Japanese fare. Order the tasting menu.
Burger Joint · Theater District · 783 tips and reviews
Princess Abigail Bacani: Tucked behind floor-to-ceiling drapes in the ritzy lobby of Le Parker Meridien Hotel, is a dirty little secret: a hole in a wall offering anyone who can find it $7 burgers that are to die for!
American Restaurant · Lower East Side · 569 tips and reviews
Princess Abigail Bacani: It might be a little tricky to find Freemans—there’s no street address; it’s simply located at the end of a little alley. Hunting lodge–inspired decor, its a hip scene and the most comforting meals.
136 Metropolitan Ave (btwn Berry St & Wythe Ave), Brooklyn, NY
Movie Theater · Williamsburg · 301 tips and reviews
Princess Abigail Bacani: Movie theater with small tables in between chairs to hold beer and cocktails, hamburgers, fish tacos, and popcorn dressed up with Cotija cheese, lime and cilantro. Discreet service during the movie.
428 Greenwich St (btwn Vestry St & Laight St), New York, NY
Sushi Restaurant · Tribeca · 78 tips and reviews
Princess Abigail Bacani: Inside the Greenwich Grill is another restaurant hidden within. Head for the waiter station, swish through a black curtain and descend the stairs to a secret sushi den. Reservations are required.
149 Mulberry St (btwn Grand & Hester St), New York, NY
Speakeasy · Little Italy · 225 tips and reviews
Princess Abigail Bacani: Accessible via a subterranean door beneath a Little Italy souvenier shop. It's part club, part restaurant, and home to a weekend brunch that rages well into the early evening.
141 W 10th St (btwn Waverly Pl & Greenwich Ave), New York, NY
New American Restaurant · West Village · 94 tips and reviews
Princess Abigail Bacani: On Valentines Day, ask for The Naked Lady Room, a sexy secret room behind a fake wall right off the bar in the main dining room. The secluded table seats 2-6 and features naked lady wallpaper.
Noodle Restaurant · Turtle Bay · 25 tips and reviews
Princess Abigail Bacani: At 11PM, sushi restaurant SEO morphs into Ramen Sanshiro. Soup is served til it runs out, at 2AM. You cant order ramen during the day, nor can you order the sushi at night—theyre different operations.
