High Street on Hudson
“On the way out, I picked up some of the pastries (I passed on the Red Eye Danish, but only because I've tried it in Philly, and it is a great choice if you only get one thing).”
“But then I had the pastrami and hash breakfast sandwich and it has restored my hope in the NYC brunch game.”
“"Best new brunch addition in the West Village"
Never Been to the Philly spot, but I went here with my Philly born gf on a Sunday brunch exclusion.”

I'm definitely missing something and I think it's probably the experience here at meals other than dinner.
When Food and Wine magazine named them the top restaurant in NYC this past week, we grabbed an immediate reservation. Given this top prize, I had high expectations.
The space is nice…casual and cafe-like but slightly cramped for the two-tops along the wall. Service was good. The menu was simple and I was excited to try it given focused menus with sharing plates are my jam. Here's a synopsis of the food we tried:
Crispy broccoli – tempura broccoli with a tangy kimchi-like dressing. It was good. But you could fry a piece of cardboard and it'd be tasty.
Burrata – very small portion but good Burrata. The prettiness of the dish outweighed the tastiness.
Mushrooms – in the top two…an assortment of mushrooms in a bit of a creamy sauce. This dish would've been great with a side of crostini. But alas, we ate them solo.
Bucatini – very good dish, simple and fresh. It's considered a full portion but it's an appetizer size. For $28. Good but I would not consider it worth the price.
Duck – great dish…smokey and savory flavor and not too fatty. This would also not be considered an entree size dish as there were four small pieces of duck.
As for drinks, I sampled both a cocktail and a glass of wine. Cocktail was meh…it wasn't complex at all and tasted like lemonade. The red wine list by the glass was primarily Long Island (which I don't care for) with only two choices outside of there…I went with a California cab which was decent but not great, especially not for $16/glass.
Our bill was $200 without tip, and I was still slightly hungry when I got home.
I'm still trying to figure out F&W's award. HSonH was solid but by no means great in comparison to others in this giant city of the N-Y-C.
Had a great weekday lunch here. No wait for a table, though the menu is extremely limited. I shared a bowl of three sides (beets, cauliflower and mushrooms) and it was delicious. I then split the pastrami sandwich, which was flavorful and not too fatty, and I loved the beet-dyed hard deviled egg it came with. Finally, I had a molasses cake and mini doughnut to go from the bakery. Really high quality, natural products here! Will definitely return for brunch when I'm up for the wait.
One of the best tasting menus I've had in awhile along with a great wine pairing to boot. Every dish with every wine pairing was delicious. Only dish that was not perfection was the happy beef that was a bit too salty for my taste. Otherwise it was all superb. If you're a first timer, skip the menu and just go for the tasting menu. You'll get a real feel of what this restaurant is all about!
Location: The place is less approachable for someone who depends on subway for day to day life.
But I went for it any way because I heard all the good news for their bakeries.
The place is actually a cafe with an extra space for bakeries.
Inside, the decoration is pretty cozy.
Bakery: had their cookies, croissants! I cannot tell you how great those are. Cookies are less sweet but very comfortable for me to eat another one. Croissants are immersed with flavors.!
Price: and it's not expensive at all .
come
enjoy
and
have your sweet teeth satisfied.
Cute place on corner of Hudson. Very cozy seating with wood chairs that make you want to be picky about where you sit. Seeing fresh bread come out of the oven and dropped right for sale was awesome. We visited for breakfast on the weekend. My bagel with cream cheese was excellent but extremely heavy with cream cheese that melted into a pool on my plate and felt unhealthy. My friend got the breakfast sandwich that she loved but was mystified by the pepper it came with. We would have loved to ask about it but our server was sporadic. He also missed one of our sides and we decided not to bother. He also took 20 minutes to bring us extra napkins which we had by that point already gotten from the front take out area. Tighten up the service and this place is a home run.
Solid 4.5
I would love to go here all the time if I wasn't sure I'd be in for a 2-hour wait. It's comfortable, delicious food that doesn't come off as high end but is all amazing quality and made in house. I went for brunch and everything on the menu looked amazing! The egg sandwiches are some of the best I've had, and the fact that High Street on Hudson opened with brunch as its first meals makes you sure it wasn't an afterthought. Great location, great food – highly recommend!
Can only speak for dinner here, and it was delicious!
It's a pretty causal place, as the main focus is breakfast and lunch, so it didn't have the real dinner vibe, so to speak, a lot of the newer restaurants have. That didn't take away from our experience, but it probably would have been nice to have a drink at the bar before dinner, except there's no bar here…that is truly missing.
As for the food, I'm not a huge bread eater, but you need to throw that idea out the window when you dine here as they're all about the bread. And their amazing spreads to go with it. The various hummus dishes they brought out with their breads were fantastic and worth every single carb we consumed.
We ordered from the 'leave it to us' menu and we're glad we did…delicious! This is where we had a bunch of their hummus and the pasta dishes were real stand outs for us. Nice portions, too, not tiny tasting portions.
Wine list is small, but you can find something to suit your taste and their prices are so affordable.
I'm taking off a star due to the limited wine list and lack of a bar, but all in all, a very yummy night out and looking forward to trying their breakfast & lunch!
Since this place opened, not once was I able to get reservations that weren't 9:30pm or later but I finally did it! Let's start with the decor and ambiance- loved the open kitchen, tall ceilings and wide windows. The insane amount of lighting I got for my pictures were perfect. #doitforthegram. Now with service, it could be better. My main server didn't do a good job at all- didn't bother explaining the menu or overall seem inviting. Later on I guess they switched servers and the girl I had latter was much much better.
Let's chat about the food. First off, simple menu which is always a good sign. Goes to show the ingredients are fresh! I had the Burrata- which was divine. The blend of all the ingredients in the dish went so well together. From the moz, to onions, and sauce, every bite was perfection. I also ordered the duck and beef dish which were great. Lots of flavor in all the dishes and what I loved was the amount of different greens they had in each dish that surprisingly paired really well with the meat. Highly recommend coming here. I was sad I was not able to order the dish with fried broccoli and other veggies ( too much food already) Super excited to come back for brunch!!
