| | | | | | Otto may just be New York’s most populist restaurant: on a given night, you’ll see a crowd composed of oenophiles, gastronomes, families with children, young couples, groups of NYU students, and of course, bridge-and-tunnelers. If it is true that every person in New York City eventually ends up at t... | | | | | | [I interrupt this Parisian patisserie love-fest for a semi-brief New York fooding update.] I've been to Otto, the popular reasonably priced member of Mario Batali's restaurant empire, a handful of times in the past few years for its super thin-crust pizza. Do they make my favorite pizza in the cit... | | | | | | Lately, I’ve been on a run with eating out with new stomachs people recently, which is refreshing since Helen can’t join me because she’s all the way up at Columbia University for her rotation (in other words, internship for her pharmacy program). Robyn and Kathy are busy with work. So I met anothe... | | | | | | Otto (pronounced “Oh–Toe”) is the most casual of the Mario Batali–Joseph Bastianich series of restaurants. There is a large bar area (the Enoteca) that serves wine and bar food, and a dining area with table seating.The name of the website (ottopizzeria.com) indicates the restaurant’s theme. The men... | | | | | | In Bensonhurst or Greenpoint they'd call it head cheese; at Otto, the testa (three slices; $9) has an added orange zing, perhaps to help justify the Manhattan price tag. A "primi"-si... | | | | | | Off to sleep in a little bit. But check out these noodles Don and I had in NJ last weekend! I mentioned my cravings for a good dish of jjajangmyun earlier this month, and before you know it, Saturday night we're in a car heading to New Jersey in search of an elusive restaurant. Don had only been t... | | | | | | Metromix Jeremy Cesarec of the website Metromix goes from "pizza schmoe to pizza pro" after taking a pizza workshop and hanging out in the kitchens of a couple pizza chefs, including one at Mario Batali's Otto Pizzeria. At Otto, they cook pizzas on a griddle then finish th... | | | | | | I'd happily eat any kind of gelato, whether good or bad. At least, if given the choice between mediocre ice cream and mediocre gelato, I'd pick the gelato. I suppose the best decision would be to choose neither and save my taste buds for a more worthy cause, but it's just a hypothetical situation.... | | | | | | Last Wednesday I had dinner with Robyn, who I haven't see in nearly forever. As two Asian girls with big appetites and a love for white rice, we met up at Grand Sichuan in Chelsea. As luck would have it, Robyn transferred into NYU the same semester I transferred out of NYU. And it wasn't until I v... | | | | | | SWEET BABY JESUS, I AM IN A DITCH OF "STUFF I HAVE TO BLOG ABOUT, BUT HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO YET," AND...I...AM TRYING TO ESCAPE......
