This weekend looks sizzling in its bacon costume.
CORS’INO OPENS
So you like Italian food. At midnight. When you’re in the West Village. Turns out there’s a new place called Cors’ino, opening on Monday. The new casual eatery from the crew behind ‘ino and ‘inoteca will feature more of the same winning Italian flavors - think savory pastas, a crostini bar, and wallet-friendly vinos. Plus, they’re open late.
Cors’ino, 637 Hudson Street (at Horatio Street), West Village, (212) 242-9093
FRIDAY
TAKE THE CANNOLIS, AND THE GELATO
With Halloween coming into range, now would be a good time to treat yourself to two new artisanal dessert destinations: Melt Gelato and Stuffed Artisan Cannolis. In one corner, the brand new Melt’ is serving up tantalizing gelato flavors, like Dark Rum White Raisin and Banana Caramel Praline. In the other corner, the just opened Stuffed’ is solidifying itself as the king of cannolis with flavors like Candy Corn, Pumpkin Pie, and Red Licorice. Choices, choices…
Melt Cafe & Gelato Bar, 1053 Second Avenue (between 55th & 56th Streets), (646) 329-6445, meltgelato.com, and Stuffed Artisan Cannolis, 176 Stanton Street (between Clinton & Attorney Streets, Lower East Side, (212) 995-2266, stuffedcannoli.com
