About
HAGS is open Wednesday through Saturday from 6pm to 10pm, and Sunday brunch from 11am to 2:30pm. It's one of NYC's few queer fine dining spots, helmed by married couple and chef-owners Telly Justice and Camille Lindsley. The five-course menu caters to both omnivores and vegans, with a focus on farm-to-table American-European fusion. The vibe is luxe but not stuffy, and the outdoor seating makes it a solid East Village choice for a special date night.
