The 8 Best New Restaurants to Check Out in New York City This June
- 18 Cornelia St., New York, NY 10014
- West Village
Long before the West Village Girl became a meme, the neighborhood used to be known for something else entirely: really good pasta. Now, one of the original innovative spots is back, in a new location on charming Cornelia Street (and, after a stint as a more casual concept in Gotham West Market). The seasonal pastas here, of course, are what you should be ordering, especially the garganelli with peekytoe crab, roasted summer squash, lemon and breadcrumbs; and the unusual orecchiette, sweetened with beet, English peas, mint and pecorino. Cocktail-wise, the menu leans toward Italian spirits and classic preparations with a twist. We recommend the Roasted Orange Negroni Spagliato made with Campari, Carpano Antica and sparkling wine, then topped with charred oranges marinated in sweet vermouth.
