Trattoria Bianca

This 8th Avenue trattoria near the New Yorker Hotel pairs a bright Italian Art Deco room with warm beige and tan tones against red accents, antique food and travel posters, and a lit bar running the length of the street-side window. The kitchen turns out pizza, prime meats and Italian standards alongside a cocktail list built around five Negroni variations and a wine list of mostly by-the-glass pours. Its location near Madison Square Garden makes it a common pre-show stop before events there.
