GARAGE is the quintessential Greenwich Village Café, warm and elegant yet remarkably casual and hip. Cozy booths on the balcony allow for privacy while still being able to view the nightly live jazz. Feast on fresh seafood and steaks in the split-level dining room, or have a seat at the huge bar (the largest in the West Village) and enjoy selections from the raw bar. In the spring and summer, the outdoor café offers some of New York’s best people watching.All this makes GARAGE “The Best Spot to Park in the Village”.

The “GARAGE” logo is derived from the original mosaic embedded in the front of the building. In the 1940’s and 50’s, the space was called “The Nut Club”, a cabaret that was a forerunner of the comedy clubs of today, with entertainers such as Jackie Gleason performing on stage. From 1969 to the early 1990’s, the Circle Repertory Company, an off-Broadway theater troupe, used the space as their theater (featuring early performances by actors Danny Aiello, Alec Baldwin, William Hurt, and Demi Moore).
