The Beatrice Inn is Graydon Carter’s third restaurant located in West Village.. The historic basement space, a former red-sauce trattoria, was once a den of New York dive bar. The hot scene is much better than the food despite a chef with serious pedigree (Brian Nasworthy spent five years as sous chef at Per Se). But the atmosphere is amazing.. It is a Great Gatsby style clubhouse, with antique ceiling fans, a lit fireplace and mahogany walls and of course the crowd..
