Back in 2006 I worked with a great media planner named Meigan. After working with her for a couple of months we became close and started hanging out literally everyday. She soon became what I liked to call my "City Mom" and not only let me stay at her apartment every other night of the week (since I was living in Clifton at the time), but she also introduced me to some wonderful restaurants in the City. My favorite restaurant to date is a little place in Midtown West called Basso 56. From the moment I began dining at Basso, I knew it would be a place that I would frequent as often as possible. After a couple of dinners with Meigan and the girls at the restaurant, I even became close with the manager Alex. Alex made it even more fantastic for me to eat at Basso since he always gave my friends and I a warm welcome at the door and a nice tall glass of limoncello at the end of the night before we left.
Thanks to Meigan's wonderful taste and Basso's deliciosuly fresh Italian food, I wound up going back to Basso for everything from engagement parties, birthday dinners and even dates.
Here's the website for all of you who would like to take a gander at the menu - http://www.basso56.com/home.html. My personal favorites include the Tagliata di Portobello, Tegamino di Scamorza di Bufala, Orecchiette con Cime di Rapa and for dessert just a nice glass of Limoncello. So for those of you who may need a great spot to just eat with the girls, or for you guys who are looking for the perfect date spot, head to Basso 56. And definitely ask for Alex the manager - tell him Jess and Meigan sent you! PS - that's him below with my buddy Kim, me and Meigan.
