Traveling the World

We had an absolutely excellent meal at Fausto from start to finish. The little gem (wow!) and arancini starters were both absolutely excellent, with the focaccia only a slight notch below those two. All of the pastas were great with the Campanelle as the best we ordered. And the panna cotta dessert was very good. Excellent service, good atmosphere, and we would definitely return.

Our drinks at Bar Basic were quite good and reasonably priced, our food was OK - one of the dishes came out less hot than I would have expected and the tacos were on the pricey side for the quantity of food. The outdoor space is quite cute when the weather permits outdoor dining.

A generally fine bodega, with more plentiful than normal grocery options. Prices are high, but the location is convenient and the inventory is reasonably good compared to your typical NYC bodega.
