Moving into buzzy new eating places in NYC is a blood sport. In case you don’t begin a month prematurely, you’re outta luck. I typically overlook to begin early sufficient, so I continuously 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 go browsing, they dm eating places, they work their connections. Karen, a longtime Food52 colleague who’s now at Stone Barns Middle for Meals & Agriculture, is considered one of these folks. She just lately obtained us into everybody’s new obsession, Borgo, which lived as much as the hype. The spacious eating room with mild wooden wainscotting and taper candles on each desk made me consider Salzburg, however the meals is pure Italy. It have to be spring as a result of all of the dishes we ordered had 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 believed, there’s not sufficient love for bitter greens. However, it seems that there’s on Food52! Right here’s a round-up we did a couple of years in the past. Bonus: Making any of those recipes is much simpler than stepping into Borgo!
