One If By Land, Two If By Sea Restaurant

One If By Land, Two If By Sea is a fine dining restaurant located at 17 Barrow Street (between Seventh Avenue South and West 4th Street) in the West Village of the New York City Manhattan borough.[1] It has been recognized for its classic menu, long history, and beautiful decor. [2] The restaurant operates inside a historic carriage house built in 1767.[1] It was subsequently purchased by Aaron Burr[1] in 1794 and rumored to be haunted by his ghost. In the 1830s, the former residence was converted into a pub and brothel. In 1910, the building first became a restaurant. The decor features candlelit tables, two fireplaces, and a baby grand piano. The classic menu has been noted for its signature dish, Beef Wellington. It is often cited as the most romantic restaurant in New York City.

In 2013, Zagat gave it a food rating of 24, with a decor rating of 27, and wrote: "'Prepare to be swept away' by this 'gorgeous' Village American."[1]
