Dining on York Street

Tucked away within one of Newport, Kentucky’s Historic Districts is the unpre­ten­tiously lovely York Street Cafe.  What used to be a Pharmacy has been a sta­ple, cool­ishly kitschy restau­rant in the city-scene for some time.  With prices rang­ing from $4 for an appe­tizer to $26 an entree and choices for both meat and non-meat eaters, there is some­thing for everyone.

We were impressed with the menu– the food is very good (the baba ganoush is a must try). The ambiance is nicely lit, always pleas­ant and the ser­vice is friendly. There is also a patio which is a def­i­nite plus in a metro-area, seem­ing at times, lack­ing in options for din­ing alfresco.

York Street now has a Tuesday Night Special per­fect for a cou­ple of first-timers:  With the pur­chase of 2 entrees, you get a bot­tle from their fea­tured wine selec­tion for $1.

York Street Cafe. 738 York St. Newport, KY 41071–1818. Hours: Tues– Sat. 11 am — 10 pm. Sun 4 pm — 10 pm.
