"This is an upscale neighborhood place in Harlem where you can sit and pretend you do casually sophisticated things like eating pasta by yourself all the time. Or, if you indeed already do this all the time, you can pretend you’ve been doing it at a place this charming for years. Our favorite pasta at Clay is the perfectly al dente garganelli (usually mixed with some sort of meat or mushroom), but we also like the the crisped and toasted gnocchi and the chewy bucatini with short rib and parmesan. Prepare to feel the same sort of unconditional commitment to these dishes that Dance Moms feel toward their 6-year-old tap stars." - hannah albertine
