The Art of Perfect Vibes: How NYC's Hottest Restaurants Got That Way
It's a Monday night at Torrisi in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood, and the brick-lined dining room is packed. At one table, a cashmere-clad young couple gleefully plots a coming vacation. At a round banquette, a group of older women in blazers clink glasses over a big birthday. Rows of guys directly in from finance jobs wave around big watches. The buzz is energetic; laughter ripples around the room. Our server, a smiling goateed guy in a cream-colored tuxedo jacket, comes by. 'Hi,' he says, leaning in. 'I'm Fernando, and we're going to have fun tonight.' I have to believe him: Every table is celebrating. And it's only 5:30 p.m. on the slowest restaurant night of the week. 'We call it 'Torrisi, the Musical,'' says Rich Torrisi, the chef behind this dynamic Italian American sibling of the world-famous Carbone, who stops by our table. 'We make everyone feel like they're part of the show, and that we're celebrating with them.'

The Singular Magic of Torrisi: New York City on a Plate
New York is full of places to have an excellent meal, but few tell the complex story of the city and its people the way Torrisi does. In this installment of Story of a Restaurant, Sam Sifton takes you on an immersive video journey through some of the city's most evocative dishes. As he puts it, 'Restaurants tell stories about the places they exist in, the places they aspire to.' One of the most celebrated restaurants in Manhattan, the Michelin-starred Torrisi is the home kitchen of the chef Rich Torrisi, one of the partners in Major Food Group. It's not easy to get a reservation, but if you do manage to secure a table, the culinary history of the five boroughs unfurls as the meal arrives at your table. Through dishes like capellini Cantonese and cavatelli with Jamaican beef ragù, Mr. Torrisi traces the influences of the various communities — Chinese, Caribbean, Italian, Jewish and others — that make the city what it is. 'The fact of the matter is what we eat tells us something about who we are,' Mr. Sifton said. 'Anyone who comes to this restaurant will taste the flavors of America as refracted through the eyes of — I'll just say it — the artist who created the dishes.'
