For anyone in love with the blockbuster pairing of pasta and wine—and honestly, who of us isn't?—New York City is the place to be right now. A bottle of red, a bottle of white...and, yes, we're in the mood for cavatelli and ragù tonight.
Back when I worked as the New York Times's bureau chief in Rome, I had a ritual. I would have Sunday dinner out, always confining my order to pasta and wine. It represented a calm, focused moment before the start of a hectic week. More than that, the meal was an opportunity to distill dining to its essence: something to stick to my ribs, and something to go to my head.
