About this venue

Editor's Take: Freemans pioneered the 'hidden' aesthetic in the LES. Walking down the graffiti-covered alley leads to a colonial-style tavern that feels worlds away from the city. Their artichoke dip is legendary.

A rustic New American restaurant and cocktail bar hidden at the end of Freeman Alley, serving seasonal fare in a cozy, vintage-inspired atmosphere.
