"The Washington Square West restaurant serves up some spine-tingling, deceptively meatless food. Owned and operated by couple Ron Tadeo and Lauren Margaretta — who came together over a love of horror films so much so they screen scary movies at the restaurant — the kitchen serves classic pasta dishes like spicy bolognese and its take on cacio e pepe, as well as decidedly less-Italian dishes such as fried chicken banh mi and cheesesteak egg rolls, plus tons of clever cocktails and mocktails." - Nadia Chaudhury
