A Tribeca comfort-food institution since 1990
Bubby’s has anchored the corner of Hudson and North Moore in Tribeca since 1990, built on Ron Silver’s “off the commercial food grid” approach to American comfort food. It’s an all-day spot known for pancakes, biscuits, fried chicken, burgers, and homemade pie, with thoughtful sourcing behind the throwback cooking. Crowds come for weekend brunch, but it’s a reliable neighborhood table any time of day.
The Tribeca original is the flagship (there’s also a High Line location), and it runs the same easygoing, family-friendly service from morning into the evening. The dimly lit bar room handles after-work and late-night drinks, but the draw is the food. Expect classic cocktails, a compact beer and wine list, and pie by the slice or the box.
What to Expect
There’s no happy hour here. Bubby’s ran a brief happy hour during the pandemic era, but its current menus list no discounted drink window. Drinks are à la carte — cocktails in the mid-to-high teens, beers from $7, glasses of wine around $12 — so plan on standard pricing whenever you go.
The Room
The main dining room is bright and casual, all-American diner energy with families, strollers, and regulars. A separate, dimly lit bar room offers a quieter perch for a cocktail before or after a meal. It’s comfortable and unfussy rather than a scene — the kind of place you settle into for a long brunch or an easy dinner.
