Cookshop

West Village, Chelsea & Meatpacking District


A brilliant brunching pit stop before (or after) tackling the verdant High Line across the street, Cookshop is a lively place that knows its niche and nails it. Excellent service, eye-opening cocktails (good morning, Blushing Monk!), a perfectly baked bread basket, outdoor seating for warm days and inventive egg dishes make this a Chelsea favorite.

Beyond brunch you'll find great dinner dishes such as cornmeal-crusted skate with clam escabeche, chili and parsley potatoes, and a thoughtful vegetarian selection.
