There are two main entrances to the Redbury Hotel in Manhattan’s Nomad neighborhood. Walk through either of them and you’ll be no more than a few feet from a slice of Rome. On the south side at 29th Street, there’s Marta, Union Square Hospitality Group maestro Danny Meyer’s three-year-old restaurant and pizzeria, which now has an offshoot downtown called Martina.
Walk around the building to 30th Street and you’re greeted on the right by Caffe Marchio, where New Yorkers are encouraged to have their coffee as Romans would, standing up and perhaps with an apricot-glazed cornetto. Across the hallway, there’s Vini e Fritti, USHG’s newest spot, a wine and snack bar serving Roman dishes like fried artichokes and crispy fried-rice croquettes called suppli.
