Pangea

Pangeais a casual Italian and Mediterranean restaurant, located in the East Village on Second Avenue between 11th 12th streets.
Pangea means "all earth" and it was the name given to the super-continent when all the landmasses on earth were connected some 250 million years ago. We feel the name accurately depicts our East Village location, which has always been a melting pot of cultures and ideas.
Pangea has been offering seasonal Italian comfort food to the denizens of the East Village for over 25 years! The atmosphere is cozy, relaxed, "artsy," and has been referred to as a "second home" to neighborhood writers, artists, actors and dancers. Customers are welcome to join in for a light bite before or after a show, a leisurely 3-course dinner, or a quick drink at the bar and outdoor cafe. The daily specials emphasize local, seasonal ingredients. Signature dishes include Pub Steak Frites, Coq au Vin, Grilled Vegetable Assaggio, Home-made Potato Gnocchi with Wild Mushrooms, and for dessert, Bongo Bongo.
Specializing in large groups and birthday celebrations, their private party room serves well for business meetings, rehearsal dinners, book signings, and even casual weddings. Recently Pangea has hosted many film screening parties and opening night theater events.
In addition to reasonable prices and comfort-style menu, Pangea is long known for its vital support of local theaters, dance companies and non-profit organizations. This partnership of good will has been one of the many reasons Pangea is consistently mentioned as the "restaurant of choice" to their audiences.
