Hudson Street, Hour by Hour: How This Fall's Openings Share the West Village Day

Between April and October 2026, five changes landed on a short stretch of Hudson Street. A rotisserie opened at Jane Street, and a seafood institution came back across the street from it. A Hudson Valley market moved in at West 11th Street, a wine bar closed at 518 Hudson, and Daniel Humm opened a new casual restaurant at Leroy Street. Each opening was covered on its own. On the map they work together, because each keeps its own hours and none of them tries to serve all day. For anyone who lives within a few blocks, Hudson Street now covers the day from about 7 in the morning to 10 at night. The working approach is to plan by the hour first and pick the place second.

Here is how the hours line up, based on what each operator currently lists:

Mondays and Tuesdays have no H. Valley breakfast. On Sundays, Mary's Fish Camp closes at 5, the same hour Humm opens. And Saturday morning is the one time the market stall and the market storefront are both open.

Mornings belong to the north end

The day starts near Abingdon Square. GrowNYC runs the Abingdon Square Greenmarket every Saturday of the year from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Hudson Street and Eighth Avenue, with cooking demonstrations and family programs on the schedule.

A few blocks south, H. Valley at 569 Hudson Street, on the corner of West 11th, opens at 7 a.m. Wednesday through Sunday. The market comes from chef Austin Johnson and Eytan Sugarman's Hudson Street Hospitality, the group behind Made in New York Pizza and the White Horse Tavern. Johnson was executive chef at One White Street in Tribeca and its sibling Rigor Hill Market. According to Eater NY's opening report, he built H. Valley as a 2,500-square-foot expansion of the high-end grocery model he developed at Rigor Hill.

What H. Valley sells sorts by the hour too:

• Morning: coffee, plus pastries and breads from head baker Grayson Claes. There is a bacon, egg and cheese on a biscuit, and an omelet bar on weekends that started at Rigor Hill.
• Lunch: three hot and three cold sandwiches. One is turkey with honey mustard, pickled apple slaw and goat cheese on honey-oat sourdough.
• Late afternoon: refrigerators and freezers of salads, sauces, dips, raw meats and prepared dinners. A separate children's fridge holds mac and cheese, baked fish sticks, chicken Parm cutlets and turkey meatballs.
• For the dog: a house-made food called Dion's Diet, made with Hudson Valley trout, chicken, duck and vegetables.

Eater's own assessment of the cost was blunt: "Expect to pay well more than at the average corner grocer." The 7 p.m. close matters as well. Prepared dinners are a late-afternoon errand here. When the opening-day report came out, Wednesday hours ran until 8 p.m., so check the current listing before planning around a later visit.

Midday has a familiar name back

The stretch from late morning through the afternoon goes to a restaurant many neighbors already know. Mary Redding closed the original Mary's Fish Camp at 64 Charles Street in 2024 after 20 years. As Eater NY reported in July, it came back on July 31, 2026, at 626 Hudson Street at Jane Street.

The new location opened with dinner only and added lunch later. Its Resy listing now shows 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, and says walk-ins are welcome. The seafood list changes, but Resy names lobster rolls, steamers and shoestring fries as the constants. That makes Mary's the only stop on this walk serving a full menu from late morning to closing on six days of the week. It is the dependable answer for an unplanned weekday lunch or a 3 p.m. lobster roll.

The Sunday 5 p.m. close is easy to miss. On Sunday evenings, the seafood option on this end of Hudson Street ends just as the south end gets started.

Two takes on chicken, eight blocks apart

At Jane Street, Mary's now faces a newer arrival. Cleo, a rotisserie from the team behind Brooklyn's Margot and Montague Diner, opened on April 17, 2026, at 621 Hudson Street. In Eater NY's April roundup, the chicken is described as marinated for 24 hours in a spice blend inspired by Lebanese seven spice. It is finished with citrus butter and served with zhug, labneh ranch and a spicy red sauce. A half chicken was listed at $32 and a whole chicken at $58.

Walk south to Leroy Street and roast chicken shows up again, in a very different format. Humm opened on October 10, 2026, at 435 Hudson Street, between Leroy and Morton streets. It is the new casual restaurant from Daniel Humm and the team behind Eleven Madison Park and Clemente Bar. It took over the former En Japanese Brasserie space. The October 10 sample dinner menu lists roasted chicken for two at $108.

Cleo's whole chicken and Humm's chicken for two show the range of the street. One is a rotisserie bird with sauces, and the other is a centerpiece dinner in a room designed by Pierre Yovanovitch. Both sit within an easy walk on the same avenue, and each fits a different kind of evening.

Evenings start at Humm's bar

Humm opens at 5 p.m. every day and serves until 10 p.m. Its Resy page says walk-ins are welcome in the dining room, bar and lounge, for dinner and for drinks. Reservations open at noon, three weeks before the date. The dining room serves the full à la carte menu, while the bar and lounge have a smaller menu of snacks and lighter dishes. In Eater NY's preview, the art is by Francesco Clemente, Rashid Johnson, Louise Bourgeois and Roni Horn.

For a neighbor, the walk-in policy is the useful part, and the price gap between rooms shows why. On the October 10 sample menus, the bar serves the HUMM Dog at $24, a mushroom burger at $25, fried chicken at $28 and the HUMM Martini at $24. In the dining room, crispy feta starts at $16, and tagliatelle with king crab is $48. Roasted lobster is $88, and branzino for two is $125. The raw bar lists a half-dozen oysters at $26 and a caviar bagel at $34. Desserts include Milk & Honey at $18 and an apple tart at $22. Humm labels these menus as samples that may change. At the posted prices, a hot dog and a martini at the bar come to about what one plate of king crab tagliatelle costs in the dining room.

The open storefront at 518 Hudson

One address in the middle of the walk is in between tenants. Justine's on Hudson, at 518 Hudson Street near West 10th Street, closed on Saturday, October 17. Restaurateur Justine Rosenthal opened the wine bar in 2023, and Eater NY's October closings list notes that her closing announcement hinted at something new coming to the same address. Right now, that stretch between Leroy Street and West 11th has no glass of wine on offer until the next tenant arrives.

One block off Hudson

Several fall openings sit a short walk east of the avenue. Most of them extend the evening rather than the morning:

1. Legion, 140 Charles Street at Greenwich Street, opened September 12 with a Southern-leaning menu shaped by partner Truman Parsons's childhood in Charleston and New Orleans.
2. Galo, 142 West 10th Street, opened September 15. Chef Nuno Sousa, who also runs nearby Leitao, serves Portuguese petiscos, seafood and rice dishes there.
3. Calabash, 183 Christopher Street, is chef Camari Mick's Afro-Caribbean bakery and brasserie. Daytime service started October 2 and dinner October 9.
4. Drugstore, a functional-drinks cafe from Los Angeles restaurateur Jeremy Fall, is scheduled to open November 14 at 172 West Fourth Street at Jones Street. Eater NY lists Wednesday-to-Sunday hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and $20 smoothies.

Calabash and Drugstore are the two that add daytime hours, though Drugstore's start is still a few weeks away.

So the schedule looks like this. Saturday morning starts at the Abingdon Square stalls and H. Valley's biscuit counter. Weekday lunch goes to Mary's, at a table or a walk-in seat. Evening starts at 5 with a seat at Humm's bar. Monday and Tuesday mornings are the one gap left on the north end of Hudson Street.
