A sizzle, a flip, and a drizzle of lemon… and you’ve got the unforgettable burger of @leonsnyc . One of my favorite spots in the city! Perfect vibes, even better bites.

Weeks ago, @nickanderer posted a brief IG Story that featured a FASCINATING kitchen tool that I had never seen before. “OMG” was my DM. “Come do a video with me!” was his reply. I spent the morning at his restaurant @leonsnyc and learned about Lamb Arrosticini, a specialty of Abruzzo, Italy which was introduced to him and his wife/business partner @natnatdrinkswine_eatspizza by their winemaker friend @cristianatiberio
It takes seconds to devour this delicious dish, but as I quickly learned, many meticulous steps to make it.
Is it too early to add Cubo Italian Arrosticini Maker to my Christmas wish list?
A wonderful dinner for five friends at @leonsnyc . Clams with linguine, mushroom carpaccio, brick chicken with harissa, frito mixto, kebabs, and salad. I love this spot for a classy, cozy group dinner, preferably at one of their round tables. Great private dining room too if you want to mark an occasion- or saddle up to the bar for great personal hospitality (everyone is super kind and accommodating here) shared dinner with @samewen@jnsilva@uyendoe@gregbresnitz
Locking in your go-to neighborhood in NYC is essential. That’s where @leonsnyc comes in. This all-day @antonsnyc sibling brings new life to Italian-American classics. Link in bio to book.

We had the thrill of spending an afternoon w @tamronhall@tamronhallshow a few weeks ago back, talking about some of our favorite dishes and drinks @antonsnyc & @leonsnyc and the things that make us feel cozy, especially this time of year as winter drags on. Tune in if you like pasta, a comforting steak w mushrooms, a bubbly refreshment…
