Busboys and Poets is the kind of restaurant and cafe that you might expect to find in Greenwich Village in the 1960s: it has live music, local art, poetry readings and other cultural happenings, all surrounding a conscious restaurant and coffee shop. If you’re looking for a place to get inspired, this is a great spot to start. 

The calendar at Busboys and Poets is frequently packed with local music acts, mindful events and other thoughtful events, so no matter when you stop in, there will likely be something going on. If you’re hungry, there’s a breakfast and brunch menu with creative dishes to start your day off right, and around lunch and dinner, you’ll find larger plates like vegan nachos, mezze platters, quesadillas and more. Pair your meal with a Busboy Signature Cocktail, or fuel up with a coffee to get your day (or night!) off to an energetic start.
