SoHo is getting another reason to stay out late—and this one comes with caviar, truffle lasagna and a dry-aged Wagyu porterhouse.
Meet Romy, the new restaurant taking over the former Little Prince space at 199 Prince Street. The intimate SoHo steakhouse is set to open September 22, bringing a decidedly indulgent new option to one of downtown New York City’s busiest restaurant neighborhoods.
The concept comes from restaurateur Cobi Levy, the operator behind Little Prince and Lola Taverna, who is giving his former Prince Street address a serious makeover—and a much meatier personality.
Romy is expected to seat around 50 guests, making this less of a sprawling steakhouse and more of a dark, intimate destination for dinner, drinks and whatever questionable decisions happen after midnight.
The menu is built for people who believe dinner should probably include something luxurious. Expect a raw bar, caviar service, crispy lasagna with black truffle and Taleggio, plus a dry-aged Wagyu porterhouse designed for sharing—or not, depending on how generous you’re feeling.
And unlike many steakhouses that essentially shut down once the dinner rush disappears, Romy is positioning itself as a late-night SoHo restaurant, with dinner service stretching well into the evening.
That makes the new restaurant particularly interesting for the neighborhood’s post-shopping, post-gallery, post-everything crowd. You know the type: “Let’s just grab one drink” somehow becomes caviar and a porterhouse at 12:30 a.m.
With its small dining room, upscale menu and late-night hours, Romy NYC is shaping up to be one of the more talked-about new SoHo restaurants of fall 2026.
Because apparently downtown Manhattan needed one more place where a casual night out can become a very expensive story.
