Pastis
The Meatpacking District's French Brasserie Icon

Pastis feels like a slice of Paris dropped into the cobblestone streets of the Meatpacking District, where fashion editors and downtown creatives have been nursing café au lait and debating art over steak frites for years. This Keith McNally creation captures that effortless French brasserie energy where you can people-watch through floor-to-ceiling windows while diving into classic dishes that never go out of style. It's the kind of place where a casual brunch can easily turn into an afternoon affair, especially when the Gansevoort Street scene is buzzing outside.
Tip
Grab a table by the windows facing Gansevoort Street for prime people-watching, especially during weekend brunch when the fashion crowd descends.
Best time to visit
Weekend brunch or weekday lunch
