DBGB New York

From Daniel Boulud comes this gastropub that’s got a younger vibe, thanks to industrial decor of stainless steel and dark wood details, plus a downtown crowd. The specialty of the house is sausage, which includes fourteen varieties. There’s an ice cream sundae cart to boot.

Locanda Verde New York

Stop in as early as 7 a.m. for pastries and espresso in the cafe, which spills out onto the sidewalk. Go back for dinner — lots of antipasti (hooray: The legendary Sardinian sheep’s milk ricotta is back) and Pan-Italian favorites.
