Stone Street Restaurants in New York
Eating at one of the Stone Street restaurants in New York is a unique experience. This culinary, pedestrianised cobblestone street located in the Financial District, Lower Manhattan, has a completely different atmosphere compared to anywhere else in the city. It certainly contrasts greatly with Wall Street, which is situated right behind. I like going here for a drink and a bite to eat.
The Best Restaurants and Bars on Stone Street
Many people come to Stone Street’s cafes for drinks after work, because of its ideal location in the Financial District. It’s a perfect and idyllic spot for a terrace, and the Stone Street restaurants know it. In the summertime, the whole street turns into one big terrace, full of large picnic tables.
The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly: a good place for meeting people! Combine this all with the historical houses, their beautiful interiors and atmosphere, and you can’t go wrong when dining on Stone Street in Downtown Manhattan. The places below are my favourite spots on Stone Street.
🍸 Cocktails at The Bedford
For the best cocktails, head to The Bedford. This bar, which also has a branch in Brooklyn, serves cocktails primarily made with Mexican spirits. Be sure to order something from the menu to accompany your cocktail. The restaurant offers a wide selection of seafood, including oysters and crab fritters, but other dishes such as burgers are also available.

🍔 Beers and Burgers at Stone Street Tavern
Stone Street Tavern is one of the oldest and most iconic restaurants on the street and offers a pub-style menu with comfort food, such as mac and cheese, fries, and wings. However, they are best known for their burgers. Order the legendary Classic Burger with one of their craft beers from a constantly changing selection.

🍕 Authentic Italian Food at Adrienne’s Pizzabar
Pizza lovers will also enjoy themselves on Stone Street, where Adrienne’s Pizzabar is a popular favourite. Adrienne’s original square pizzas are huge and therefore perfect for sharing. The term ‘pizza bar’ is actually a bit misleading because in addition to their great, wood-fired pizzas, they also serve other Italian dishes, all very tasty, fresh and authentic.
As for dessert, don’t forget to try a slice of their famous Nutella cake. Craving for more pizza? Here you can find my picks for the best pizza in New York.

🦪 Oysters at Ulysses
Oysters and conviviality, that’s what it’s all about at Ulysses A Folk House. It’s not an oyster bar, but this is the very item on the menu that people keep coming back for. Above all, Ulysses is a cosy bar, with plenty of seats, where you can have drinks and eat something as well.
Don’t go there if you want to grab a quick bite, because service can be slow. But what does it matter if you have plenty of time and you’re in such a nice place? They regularly have live music, adding to the already great atmosphere. The menu isn’t too special, but the dishes are affordable and tasty in their simplicity.

Explore the Stone Street Area
In addition to visiting Financial District’s Stone Street, the surrounding area is also fun and interesting to explore. You pass through Stone Street during the ‘Downtown Manhattan’ walking route in my Eric’s New York App, as well as Wall Street and the historic South Street Seaport. Extra helpful because I occasionally miss the street myself. If you want to learn more about the history of this area, book the Hamilton Tour.
