Pink velvet banquettes and marble tables in the candlelit dining room

West Village · New York City

While We Were Young

Pink velvet, marble and gold on West 10th Street — a brunch room by day, a candlelit cocktail parlour by night.

Our Story

A love letter to the West Village

Tucked into a townhouse on West 10th Street, While We Were Young was built around one idea: a room you never want to leave. Blush banquettes, marble tabletops, brass sconces and enough candlelight to make every table feel like the best one.

Mornings belong to long brunches and cold-pressed juice. Evenings belong to oysters, low light and a cocktail list that leans classic with a little mischief.
