Gusto Ristorante e Bar Americano:
Don’t be fooled by the Italian title—Gusto isn’t another generic European wine bar. Its understated yet sophisticated décor stirs up a Tuscan brunch or a fanciful Fellini dinner party for twenty-somethings looking for something more than the multitude of Irish pubs in the area. Sit at the front opposite large windows opening to Greenwich Ave. for a $22 brunch that includes all-you-can drink Bloody Mary’s and Classic Mimosas. When it’s time to switch from brunch to lunch or dinner, try the sweet and strong Sicilian Blood Orange Margarita served straight up, or the low calorie Key Lime Sparkling Mojito (both $12). Or add a little “gusto” to your cocktail hour, with a Ciao Bella ($12, St. Germain Elder Flower liquor, fresh lemon juice, prossecco with blueberries)—saying “goodbye” has never tasted so good.
