Michael White restaurant sans white table cloth and not in Midtown? Major score for the downtown set. Or is it?

Last week Seth turned 24, and I thought it was appropriate to celebrate with $24 pasta. Scarpetta made some noise when it arrived on the restaurant scene in the summer of 2008 — Adam Platt called it "priestly" — but I haven't heard much about it since, most likely because it's pricey and is consistently packed with white haired couples and their grown children. Seriously, Scarpetta is the place to take your parents (and their parents) when they're in town to see Rain next month. But if an older checkbook isn't going to front the bill, it's a great celebratory destination worth the spend.CONT'D

A menu honoring the meatball where nothing exceeds $9? Yes and yes. It took us a while to brave the lines at Meatball Shop; the average wait is two hours and an inside source confirmed that two hours is actually the maximum time sentence the hosts are allowed to assign, meaning its often longer than that. Wowza. CONT'D

You probably haven't heard of Emporio. It hasn't received much press, save for its un-hyped inclusion in New York Mag's Top 20 Pizzas of the Moment last June, but that doesn't mean it's not packing some serious heat. And thanks to the lack of buzz, you can expect to be seated right away, sans reservation — something to be cherished in this city.
Designed to look like a twenties-era Roman grocery – white tile, rustic wooden paneling and bags of pasta stacked high on shelves — Emporio has a relaxed, welcoming feel strengthened by affectionate Italian staff. CONT'D

REVISITING MY CLASSIC: Chicken Piccata
RECIPE
June 14, 2010
CUISINE: Italian

My earliest memories of Italian food revolve around The Chase, a Santa Barbara restaurant that has been around since, well, before I can remember. It's the kind of spot that has white tablecloths and black-and-white photographs cover the walls. Regulars talk to one another at the bar or settle into the red-leather booths. Customers wave across the room at familiar faces. During the holiday season, the place is a shrine to decorating: twinkle lights drip from every surface, light-up reindeer soar across the sky, pine garlands encircle the room. CONT'D

About Us
We are young (early 20's) and hungry (for knowledge! music! art! food!) friends living on (or in areas which border) Manhattan. We moved to the city seeking higher education, and an alternative to frat parties and gin buckets. We prefer a bottle of Chianti to a keg, lunches at City Bakery to a dining hall, Joe's to Starbucks, Frankie's Amatriciana to Batali's. Our uniting factor is our love for food. For detailed, personal information, keep reading.
