La Bonbonniere, West Village, Manhattan
Update: I’m happy to say that not only is La Bonbonniere open for business, they have way more outdoor seating than they ever had indoors. This is a fabulous greasy spoon. Cash only. Updated 13 July 2021
News flash, if you watch the streaming show The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, they have a few scenes that were filmed here! La Bonbonniere is a little restaurant in the West Village. They've been around for quite a few years. Just have a look at their fading sign. It is inexpensive and the atmosphere is casual. The food is standard diner style food and yummy too. A number of famous people have eaten here including Molly Shannon, James Gandolfini, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman to name a few. But you don't need to be rich or famous to eat here. They have a few tables on the sidewalk during good weather. It is a cash only restaurant and they don't have a website.
La Bonbonniere, 28 Eighth Avenue near 12th Street.
