The Plan
Inspired by the word husmanskost, “everyday food" in Swedish, Houseman is a neighborhood restaurant where chef Ned Baldwin serves clear-headed food that ranges from the familiar to the unexpected.

The Food
We make the food that we want to eat. On any given night the menu features favorites such as a hamburger, roast chicken or seasonal vegetables alongside dishes like pickled bluefish or goat sausage.

The Drink
We keep it simple at the bar. Our concise cocktail list has classics, and riffs on them. For the beer drinkers, we’ve got a seasonal selection of bottles and cans as well as a kolsch from Cologne on tap. Our wine list is carefully curated and often updated to include easy-drinkers that are both sympathetic to our food and that will keep the oenophiles among us interested.

Very loud music over the speakers for Sunday brunch, but food always impresses, as does the wait staff's knowledge of the menu.

This has become one of our top 5 restaurants in NYC. It has a Swedish flair, their food is so consistently good, and they have biodynamic wines. We went for a little special occasion and I wanted a restaurant that would not disappoint and I was not in the mood for the other 4. So I said HOUSEMAN! I cannot wait until those fried green tomatoes hit the menu in the spring.

A neighborhood place with very good food, welcoming to families. A little too expensive but it must be this up and coming area.

Everything we had was absolutely delicious! Really interesting menu, everything on it sounded appealing. Loved the clam toast and all of the entrees we had - steak, chicken, monkfish. Try the Zapatista cocktail - was delicious. Excellent service and atmosphere - will definitely be back!

Be prepared for cozy seating and limited main course choices, neither of which detracts from how satisfying Houseman is. A favorite.

Craving steak frites, we decided to venture to the far West Village to try what NY Mag called the city’s best version of the menu staple. Ok, the space is charming, the service very good and the quality overall fine. The steak frites were delicious that we all ordered. Fries yummy and plentiful and meat flavorful (if a little light on the portion). The problem was that the appetizers are ill-conceived. Squid with XO sauce is a dish that doesn’t want to be eaten without rice and merely by the spoonful! Tasty yes, but way overpriced and odd served stand-alone. The clams on toast was good but not for the price charged. The peanut pie was ok for dessert but somehow missed the mark. Cheapest wine was a white Gruner at $48. I disliked paying for one type of bread (whole grain) and butter- that really irked me. So while the main course was good and fairly priced and the service very good, the overall meal lacked balance and was most definitely over-priced. IF I’m going to pay for bread and butter, it had better be the greatest since sliced white, and it was not.

This restaurant is off the beaten path and has a great atmosphere. However, food is not great. We got the burger & fries which was tasty and frankly was the initial draw to this restaurant. We also got the chicken dish which was served lukewarm and wasn't all that flavorful. We also ordered, "fried uglies" which were fine. Nothing exceptional. Would only come back here for a casual drink– the space was decorated well and quiet– or to order the burger, and nothing else.

Just a perfectly authentic New York City bistro run by a brilliant, talented chef. Go there. Eat. Drink. And enjoy.
