| + | <br>Back when I worked as the New York Times's bureau chief in Rome, I had a ritual. I would have Sunday dinner out, always confining my order to pasta and wine. It represented a calm, focused moment before the start of a hectic week. More than that, the meal was an opportunity to distill dining to its essence: something to stick to my ribs,<a href=" " target="_blank">cheap pandora rings< a>, and something to go to my head.<br> | ||
| + | <br>Fast-forward a dozen years. I now live in New York City but could follow my Roman regimen seven nights a week, thanks to an abundance of new places where celebrated chefs and restaurateurs focus on pasta and wine. I think of Lilia in Brooklyn and the chef Missy Robbins's riff on cacio e pepe using pink peppercorns in lieu of black. The subtly fizzy Lambrusco accompanying the dish had a mischievous effervescence that matched the pasta's mood. They were partners in irreverence.<br> | ||
| + | <br>Lilia opened amid a cluster of like-minded ventures including Pasquale Jones, Café Altro Paradiso and La Sirena, a large and buzzing addition to Mario Batali's empire. Despite the current mania for all things gluten-free, these places are signs of the times. Exorbitant New York rents and other factors are raising the cost of doing business; pastas,<a href=" " target="_blank">cheap pandora rings for sale< a>, fairly cheap to make yet easy to sell for $20 or more, are an enticing way to respond.<br> | ||
| + | <br>"Your profit percentage is greater on pasta than on rib eyes,<a href=" " target="_blank">cheap pandora earrings< a>," says wine pro Robert Bohr of Pasquale Jones. Pasta, he adds, is a draw for regulars, who are crucial in an economically unforgiving era. It also underscores the city's insatiable demand for comfort food.<br> | ||
| + | <br>Indeed, Thomas Carter of Cafe Altro Paradiso says that its relatively straightforward pastas,<a href=" " target="_blank">cheap pandora charms for sale< a>, like busiate tossed with brussels sprout leaves, lemon and mint, are meant for diners who come in a few times a week. His wine list also emphasizes accessibility,<a href=" " target="_blank">< a>, like the Benanti Pietramarina white from Sicily. "A lot of us want simpler," Carter told me. "Quieter."<br> | ||
| + | <br>Lilia's pastas have so overshadowed all else that, Robbins says, "I get worried if a group doesn't order pasta. I'll ask the table, 'Are you sure?'" She didn't have to ask me. On my first visit, my companions and I eagerly sampled not just the pink peppercorn one, but also a few others, including ravioli filled with prosciutto, spinach, mascarpone and ricotta. Truth be told, I had several wines,<a href=" " target="_blank">cheap pandora bracelets for sale< a>, too. I'm a minimalist, not a monk.<br> | ||
