Le Petit Village is a French bistro at 173 7th Avenue South, on the corner of Perry Street in Manhattan's West Village, that takes private events on two levels. The main floor holds 60 seated guests or 75 cocktail-style, and the second-floor mezzanine holds 22 seated or 30 cocktail-style. Organizers can build the event from bar packages, passed or stationary hors d'oeuvres, platters and prix fixe menus.
Rooms and capacities
The main floor is a dining area with comfortable seating, a full-service bar and accessible facilities. It seats 60 for a dinner and takes 75 for a standing reception. The mezzanine, on the second floor, is an intimate bar setting that the restaurant presents for exclusive gatherings. It seats 22 or takes 30 cocktail-style. The site publishes floor plans for both spaces, and a full deck of private event materials can be requested from the events team. The restaurant also serves guests on an outdoor terrace, though the official site does not say whether the terrace can be booked privately.
Catering
The restaurant cooks in the style of southern France, and its events menus follow that line. Hors d'oeuvres can be passed, with a choice of four, six or eight savory items, or set out as stationary stations with a minimum of 20 pieces per item. Savory items include caviar and blini, a mini lobster roll, steak tartare, tuna tartare, ratatouille crostini, mushroom and goat cheese vol-au-vents, chicken skewers, and several vegetarian and vegan tartlets. Dietary markers on the menu show vegetarian, vegan, nut-free, gluten-free, dairy-free and allium-free choices. Sweet items are passed in a choice of two or four, and include apple tartlets, yuzu meringue tarts, chocolate mousse, macarons and fruit skewers.
Standing platters serve groups of ten, for example a Mediterranean platter with crudités, grilled pita, hummus and tzatziki. The events page also lists prix fixe celebrations and wine pairing as options. Menus and packages are quoted per guest, and the team sends the details with the proposal for the event.
Bar packages
Three open bar tiers are offered. The beer and wine package covers selected beers and wines by the glass, with soft drinks and juices. The premium package adds named spirits such as Patron Silver, Grey Goose, Ketel One, Bombay Sapphire, Tanqueray, Jameson and Jack Daniel's. The ultra-premium package moves to labels such as Casamigos, Don Julio, Hendrick's, The Botanist, Woodford Reserve and Angel's Envy. Selections vary with availability. Packages exclude shots, frozen, muddled and specialty cocktails, while classic cocktails are included in the premium and ultra-premium tiers and specialty cocktails can be added. A mixology option is also listed.
