Gene's

Italian restaurant · Greenwich Village

"The Dish: Baked Clams Oreganata You could easily have a full meal in the back dining room at Gene's, next to a group of women wearing fur and sharing veal parm. But the real move at this old-school Italian spot is to come solo, snag a stool at the bar up front, and make a meal of bivalves and gin. The baked clams here are textbook perfect, with crispy tops, soft bottoms, and enough garlicky sauce underneath to necessitate an after dinner mint. Snack on them between people-watching, and sips of martini. " - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, neha talreja
