Joseph Leonard

Welcome to Joseph Leonard

Joseph Leonard is a casual West Village neighborhood spot with heart and soul, serving seasonal American food in a welcoming, relaxed setting. Opened by Gabriel Stulman, Chef James McDuffee and team in 2009, Joseph Leonard was created to serve as an all-day gathering place for neighbors and visitors alike. The restaurant is open all day, seven days a week.

Joseph Leonard is part of the Happy Cooking family of restaurants, started by restauranteur Gabriel Stulman. Jeffrey's Grocery, Fedora, Fairfax and bar Sardine, all in the West Village, are also part of the family. Our newest locations, Simon & The Whale, Studio and George Washington Bar can all be found within the Freehand Hotel in the Gramercy neighborhood.
