It’s no surprise that this is where Ambra found its home in this part of New York City – our slice of authentic Italian dinner in the West Village made with flair fits in perfectly with the area’s rich history, charm, and reputation for a guaranteed good time. If you’re looking for things to do in the West Village, let the real insiders be your guide to our beloved neighborhood.
Here are our best recommendations for a perfect day out in the city.
1. Stroll Through Washington Square Park
This park is like the heart of the neighborhood, and people-watching is a sport here. You’ll see everything from breakdancers to buskers – and with 9.75 acres, there’s room for everyone! Get a delicious brunch at Ambra after and make your time in the West Village that much better!
2. Soak Up The Art at a Local Gallery or Museum
The Eli Klein Gallery offers something a little different, with an amazing collection of contemporary Asian art. Or visit the nearby Whitney Museum of American Art, filled with incredible American art and well worth savoring for an afternoon. Once you’ve had your fill of new perspectives from the inside, head up to the rooftop to find your own new way to look at the world – starting with a stunning view of the Big Apple.
3. Catch a Show at the Cherry Lane Theatre
Get ready for a night of pure entertainment! The Cherry Lane Theatre has been the home of off-broadway theatre for a hundred years. New and exciting performances are taking place all the time, so check out their website to see what’s on – and have an incredible dinner in the West Village before your show to start the evening right.
4. Unwind at Ambra Restaurant & Bar
Finally, if you haven’t visited Ambra yet, it’s time to settle in at the perfect place to end any day in our neighborhood. No matter which fun things to do in the West Village fill your day, our flavor-filled food from our Italian cucina offers the ultimate meal out.
