Entering into buzzy new eating places in NYC is a blood sport. When you don’t begin a month upfront, you’re outta luck. I typically neglect to begin early sufficient, so I always have sufficient “Notify Me” alerts set on Resy that they might flag me as a bot (or a drunk dialer). Fortunately, I’ve pals who’re higher suited to the starvation recreation of consuming out in New York; they set alarms to make reservations the minute they log on, they dm eating places, they work their connections. Karen, a longtime Food52 colleague who’s now at Stone Barns Heart for Meals & Agriculture, is one among these individuals. She lately acquired us into everybody’s new obsession, Borgo, which lived as much as the hype. The spacious eating room with gentle wooden wainscotting and taper candles on each desk made me consider Salzburg, however the meals is pure Italy. It should be spring as a result of all of the dishes we ordered have been inexperienced and white–fava bean puree with marinated greens, risotto with peas, and even dessert, a pistachio, ricotta, and cherry tart. A stand-out was the bitter greens salad with breadcrumbs. As I ate it, I assumed, there’s not sufficient love for bitter greens. However, it seems that there’s on Food52! Right here’s a round-up we did just a few years in the past. Bonus: Making any of those recipes is way simpler than moving into Borgo!
