Hitmaker Keith McNally does Italian for the first time at his much-anticipated new Village trattoria, Morandi.
NYC’s latest dining trend, the intimate ‘inn’, lands in the rollicking Meatpacking District via Inn LW12, a Canadian/British gastropub with Daniel Boulud as a consultant.
Speaking of gastropubs, the phenomenon crosses the pond – and the East River – into Brooklyn with the arrival of Alchemy, a New American tavern housed in an old hardware shop on Park Slope’s Fifth Avenue.
Meanwhile, Amalia is carved out of a former carriage house adjacent to Midtown’s Dream Hotel and exudes downtown cool with its distressed brick walls, black chandeliers and industrial-chic basement.
