Sweetiepie Restaurant (19 Greenwich Ave b/t Christopher & 10th), the West Village version of Alice’s Tea Cup meets Serendipity, has undergone a bit of a transformation this year. Well, at least it’s menu has. The “sweetly” decorated pink and white space known for its birdcage in the dining room remains largely the same.  It seems like Sweetiepie suffers from an identity crisis. It’s kinda like a Dylan’s Candy Bar for grown-ups. But we hear they get their fair share of kids in there, too (after all, it’s OpenTable’s #1 Kid-Friendly Restaurant).  News came earlier this summer that the restaurant had brought in Ryan Skeen (formerly of 5 & Diamond, Irving Mill and Allen & Delancey) as a “consulting chef” to overhaul the menu and “beef” things up a bit. His impact can be seen in new menu items like burgers, mac n’ cheese and tater tots. Sweetiepie has also started offering some pretty good deals, including an all-you-can-drink brunch. Unfortunately, they come with the price of having to sit in the cutesy, dolled-up space. On Tuesday nights, they have a deal where $10 gets you a burger and tater tots. And if you’re there between 4-8 p.m., we hear you can add a sangria to the mix for $5. They have a daily happy hour from 4-8 p.m. with $5 beers and sangria.  And through Labor Day you can also get a burger + beer + tater tots combo during Happy Hour for $15. This past week came news of a new Bottomless Cocktail Brunch where $20 gets you your choice of an entree plus unlimited sangria, mimosa, bloody mary, or dirty lemonade. Now, I’m not saying you want to be going to Sweetiepie for a bro-mantic night out with your buds, but it sounds like a pretty place to get sauced at a baby or bridal shower.
