I had the shredded beef hash and artichoke dip. Both were flavorful and slightly spicy. All the ingredients are sourced within 300 miles! It's such a cozy and fun atmosphere! I highly recommend!

The burrata is redic fresh & salted to perfection. And the bacon egg & cheese sandwich is obviously prepared with delicious care. See for yourself. Giggidy.

The slow food is part of the experience. Grab a beer, enjoy the tunes, the awesome staff, and the atmosphere. Fun in the summer when you can look out onto a bustling Orchard St.

One of the best restaurants in New York. The sandwiches are the highlight - incredible bread, fresh ingredients and innovative takes on classics. The cocktails too - especially the old fashioned

Amazing vegetarian sandwiches, changing constantly. Great for lunch or dinner. YUM. Best pickleback I have ever had. Must try the burrata, artichoke dip is delish too. Good beer selection.

Come for the sandwiches, stay for the beer, and return for the atmosphere. Any weekly specials will be good, if not you can always stick with the classic Winter Pig or Bahn Mi sandwich!

You'll want to make make Black Tree your new go-to spot & try its weekly changing menu, always based on farm-to-table in-season ingredients. Check out the Winter Pig sandwich before the season's over.

This place has the best seasonal sandwiches. ALSO they have wine on tap for $6 from 4-8 and who can say no to that? Tonight: Pan Seared Squash Blossom sandwich w/ heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozz & aioli

Great sandwiches for the price. You can't go wrong with the blue fish and soft shell crab sandwiches. The waiters and owner are super nice guys and make the experience even more enjoyable.

The best pickle backs you will ever have with a rocking punk rock vibe. Also, they have a watermelon sandwich which is exactly that and pretty good.
Jen ShinNovember 17, 2015
all sandwiches were amazing. don't forget the burrata; perfectly creamy and accompanied by warm, buttery bread.

locally sourced ingredients and an ever-changing menu. great food and chill vibes. homemade bread is awesome.

Service tends to be "relaxed", but friendly. Their unusual sandwiches, noodles, and other dishes are excellent; always well-spiced with interesting flavor combos.

The summer duck might be the most delicious sandwich I have ever eaten. Thankfully I took it to go, so there was nobody to see me lick my plate clean.

Sandos - duck was the meat of the hour and the all duck bahn mi was awesome. Local beer and ingredients (300 miles local) is local in a new way.

Village Voice is proud to welcome Black Tree to the 2014 Choice Eats food fest! http://bit.ly/1cRzdNV. With an ever changing menu, it's impossible to get bored with these sandwiches.

Everything is grown within 300 miles, so the cocktail menu has none of the conventional citrus and thus comes up with some interesting replacements.
Marina BuritySeptember 12, 2015
Great sandwiches and I love the different mixtures of ingredients. Staff very considerate and lovely ambience.

Get the fig cocktail while its still on the menu. Vodka, apples, sparkling wine, fall spices- what's not to like?
Mike McBryanMay 18, 2015
Grab a seat at the bar and enjoy the specials of the day / week. Great beer selection, including some from Three's Brewery.

Black Tree has a seasonal menu that is constantly changing, so be sure to try the watermelon sandwich before it's gone!

Try the summer mushroom sandwich and make sure to get the fried egg. The strawberry balsamic jam and smoked goat cheese pair perfectly - so good!

Obsessively locally-sourced food, with a rotating menu focused on one animal per week. House-made pickle backs are delicious.
John GallagherMay 31, 2014
Deluxe up a broccoli rabe sandwich with an egg and some bacon. You may need to use a fork but worth it

Black Tree's chef/owner, Sandy Dee Hall, had to give up his adopted lamb. We asked what's behind his relationship with Smokey, and how it affected what he served on the menu. Read more

Food was really good.. We just walk in late night since it was close to our hotel. We enjoyed our food, portions are not big but tasteful!

Insanely juicy, fresh offerings, with an ever-changing menu based on local ingredients and the current in-house animal.
Kathy MatthiesenDecember 2, 2015
A carnivorous hipster's dream! The menu features a different animal each week, so there's always something new to try
Emilie FuttermanDecember 29, 2014
Local ingredients, great people, dope food. The burrata is life changing and the sandwiches are serious. Good for a group of friends.
Andrew GauntnerApril 4, 2016
The food is delicious! The staff is very engaging. And you can tell its fresh. The Diaplo Burutta is awesome!
Umair ZiaJuly 13, 2013
Holy crap. Definitely have the grilled cheese sandwich. It would be perfect of they served tomato basil soup with it. Lamb tongue taco is great too.
BenJanuary 21, 2015
Some of the most unusual/delectable sandwiches in the city. Grab a cocktail and enjoy. Get one of the vege sides.
Andrew LitvakMarch 3, 2015
Load up a sandwich with all the extras, you can't go wrong. They change their specials menu weekly, so there's always something new to try.
Jacob ForsterJuly 13, 2015
No words can describe how delicious the summer pig is. The sandwiches are somewhat expensive but completely worth it.
Hannah CastilloJune 10, 2015
You think you've ordered enough Burrata, but you haven't, trust me. It's so delicious you're going to need that extra order.

Always delicious, even when the main meat isn't even ready. We always get the Burrata and Artichoke Dip no matter what!

Everything. The menu changes weekly, so be adventurous. All products are sourced from farms within 300 miles.
Elizabeth HartmannMay 20, 2016
Short rib sandwich was a bit dry but well seasoned, asparagus sandwich was the clear winner
James MarshallOctober 16, 2015
The sandwiches are awesome. House made bitters. Great beers. Health violation recently has me only drinking here now though.
Ada ChanAugust 6, 2014
Winter pig, summer pig, whatever they call it - get it. Drinks are a bit pricey for the amount. $12 should mean a bit more than half the glass. Go for happy hour.
Chris D'AmicoJanuary 14, 2014
This place is amazing. Chill spot and the best sandwiches downtown, not a joke -- winter squash + bacon. Go for it.
Saba DilawariNovember 9, 2013
So good!! Everything fresh and local. Even their liquor and drink selection was from within 300 miles. Definitely coming back!!
Edward HenryJanuary 26, 2016
The menu here is seasonal but it's always great. One of my favorite places in NYC

The delicious Winter Squash is complimented by the fantastic house made chips. Get this sandwich!
Bing Bing MaMay 31, 2014
Get all the sandwiches. Come with friends so you can share.

Locally-sourced whiskey and house made pickle backs - try the apple and Rough Rider bourbon
Kushal DaveJanuary 29, 2015
Thing I never thought I'd say: The squash sandwich is delicious. (Also great beers on tap!)
