Red Paper Clip

Red Paper Clip delivers a deeply personal and inventive New American tasting menu experience in the heart of the West Village. Founded by culinary veterans who honed their crafts at legendary three-Michelin-starred establishments like Alinea and Blue Hill at Stone Barns, this intimate, 24-seat gem has earned a prestigious Michelin star for its boundary-pushing cuisine. The evolving multi-course menu beautifully marries disciplined French techniques with seasonal New York market ingredients and vibrant Taiwanese-American inflections from the chef's Queens upbringing. Guests can pull up to the first-come, first-served bar for an à la carte experience or indulge in the signature tasting menu featuring playful, standout creations like the xiao long bao agnolotti with pork, truffle, and black vinegar. This open-kitchen space strips away traditional fine-dining pretense to offer a sophisticated, warm, and memorable neighborhood escape.
