In this series for T, the author Reggie Nadelson revisits New York institutions that have defined cool for decades, from time-honored restaurants to unsung dives. Late one balmy September night, Donna Lennard and the crew from her beloved Italian restaurant Il Buco start to roast a large, plump pig outside their front door on Bond Street. By the next day it will be deeply succulent with just the right crackle, and friends and neighbors will settle down to porchetta sandwiches with blueberry balsamic mostarda, panzanella, ricotta fritters, beer and wine. A pig roast has become something of a ritual to mark special occasions at Il Buco and this is a big one: New York restaurant years are like dog years, and reaching 25 in a city where restaurants open and shut with fatal regularity is no small accomplishment. Cooking a pig on the sidewalk as if it were your backyard plays into the idea that Il Buco is actually an Umbrian farmhouse somehow set down among the rackety cobblestones and … [Read more...] about The New York Restaurant That Feels Like an Italian Farmhouse

Update: The restaurant has encountered a delay and will open next Wednesday, August 8, according to a public relations representative for Vista. The restaurant will not open today, Monday, July 30. North of Wynwood and the Design District, a massive two-story Italian-inspired restaurant and rooftop bar opens next week. Located in the recently developed Upper Buena Vista — a charming acre of land home to a crop of new restaurants including a 500-square-foot French café and a Colombian street-food joint — Vista offers an expansive all-day menu, with highlights such as poblano pesto gnocchi and snapper a la plancha.

Being a rebel means sticking with your rebellious ways no matter the consequences. Nothing gold can stay; it's better to burn out than fade away — at least for those who dream outside of the system. So chefs Dan Lasiy and Bo Porytko are locking the doors at Rebel Restaurant come August 4, but they have no regrets."We always had this idea to do things different and do it on our own," Lasiy says of the origins of Rebel, which opened in a former dive bar on the industrial edge of the RiNo neighborhood three years ago to the month.Some folks got it; others seemed scared, even offended. For every roasted pig skull that went out to be picked clean by groups of appreciative and like-minded head-onists, Lasiy recalls "the amount of sheer terror in people's eyes when you tell them you're serving chicken hearts."Our goal was that you were going to remember us — love us or hate us, you're going to remember," he adds.
