IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Babbo occupies a historic carriage house at 110 Waverly Place. Its Italian menu gives pasta a central role, making it a useful addition to an itinerary built around a proper sit-down dinner in Greenwich Village.

PLANNING A VISIT

Leave time for the meal rather than fitting it between other commitments. The restaurant’s own website is the place to check its current menus, reservations and group-dining options. For guests staying downtown, a Village dinner can give the trip a different setting from the main celebration.
