SoHo Italian American Dining With Hip Hop Energy

Charlie Bird anchors lively SoHo Italian American dining with a steady hip-hop soundtrack and an energetic bi-level room. Guests gather at 5 King St for raw bar selections like chilled oysters alongside inventive small plates. Run-DMC artwork accents the interior walls, reinforcing the musical focus throughout the seating areas. While pasta dishes like gnocchi draw varying opinions, the kitchen hits its stride when preparing pork chop and roast chicken mains with crisp vegetables.

Beef tartare and fried squash blossoms provide rich textures before larger plates arrive at the table. Midday diners can choose a quick lunch menu pairing small plates with seasonal pasta combinations. Evening tables fill quickly from 5 PM onward for leisurely shared meals and extensive wine service across both dining levels. Those planning an outing can balance the soundtrack volume by reserving an outdoor table during warmer afternoons.
