Little Hen

Tucked off Bleecker Street near Washington Square Park, this boutique space balances its cottagecore styling with a fabulously fancy dress code. The menu goes beyond tea and pancakes to feature chicken and waffles, modern lunch dishes with global ingredients, and champagne pairings. Inside, the design is highly photogenic, though the physical space is tight with tables sat very closely together. While the service is attentive, feedback on the kitchen is mixed—some find the food pricey or the rose latte overly sweet, making the draw here as much about the floral backdrop as the meal.
