Freemans

It might be a little tricky to find Freemans—there’s no street address as it’s located at the end of an alley. But once there, you’ll find a restaurant with hunting lodge–inspired decor, a hip scene and comforting meals. Taavo Somer and William Tigertt happened upon the cozy space just off the Bowery back in 2004, and envisioned a rugged clandestine colonial tavern serving early American cuisine: simple, rustic and inspired by Old World traditions.
