3 Babbo
110 Waverly Place
New York, NY 10011
Reservation: +1.212.777.0303
Babbo opened in the summer of 1998 in an effort to emulate the best of the great Italian tradition of hospitality and quality at the table and in the glass. The philosophy is easy as it is straight forward - use the best local ingredients as simply as possible and serve them with flourish and joy. As a Tuscan cooks in Chianti, as a Neapolitan cooks on the Amalfi coast, as a Sicilian cooks in Pantelleria, at Babbo they cook as an Italian might in the Mid-Atlantic/Hudson Valley region.

1 The Waverly Inn
16 Bank St., New York, NY 10014
at Wavery Pl. Owned by Graydon Carter the editor of Vanity Fair. This has the reputation of being one of the hardest restaurants to get into in the world. The rooms are decorated like a kind of modest, English dining society, with low-wattage lighting and lots of raggedly debonair little piles of tattered books, old photos of the ’49 Brooklyn Dodgers that look like they’ve been gathered from some long-ago Vanity Fair photo shoot.
And what about the food? For a semi-private club, it’s not bad. For a public restaurant, it could be better, although if you’re Graydon Carter and a place like this opened a few doors down from your own townhouse, you wouldn’t be too upset. In accordance with the fashions of the day, it is stressed that “local and organic” ingredients are used whenever possible at the Waverly Inn, and that the restaurant’s water is filtered through “reverse osmosis,” whatever that is. But don’t let these little flourishes fool you. This connect-the-dots bistro menu isn’t designed to win any culinary awards. It’s designed to feed patrons in a familiar, semi-competent way, without distracting from the real business at hand, which is to have a drink or two and bask in the reflected glow of each other’s glorious presence.
