The GUSI Experience
A Layered Narrative
The name "GUSI" carries weight—it is a layered word for a layered place, rooted in the folklore and humor of our childhoods. We have crafted our space to reflect this complexity. As you move through the restaurant, you experience two distinct moods: the first floor, which focuses on the warmth and tangible textures of a modern tavern, and the second floor, which caters to those looking for a more formal, ceremonial dining experience.
Culinary Artistry
Our menu is a celebration of ritual. We take the ingredients and techniques that define Eastern European kitchens and apply a modern New York sensibility to them.
Reimagined Classics: We honor our culinary past while pushing the boundaries of presentation and flavor profile.
Ceremonial Dining: The second floor is designed for those moments when a meal becomes an event. It is perfect for clients, date nights, or special gatherings where you want the focus to be on the craft of the kitchen.
Versatile Spaces: With a private floor available for up to 70 guests, GUSI is one of the most versatile venues in the Village. From corporate dinners to intimate celebrations, we offer a setting that feels exclusive and tailored to your specific needs.
