"Maialino is the first restaurant many people think of when it comes to Gramercy, and that’s probably because it’s in the Gramercy Park Hotel, and looks out onto Gramercy Park. We may not be able to get into the park, but we can (if we book in advance) get into Maialino, and we’re pretty sure that’s a lot better. Eating the pastas here is a great way to spend a special evening, and breakfast and brunch are pretty fantastic here too." - hillary reinsberg
