Breaking for tapas at Zampa Winebar + Kitchen
Wining and Dining
Satisfy any craving in a cutting-edge culinary scene: Sample sashimi (from a former Iron Chef) at Morimoto, grab a high-end snack at the quirky food emporium Chelsea Market, or see and be seen at hot dinner spot Pastis. Thirsty? You'll find wine bars and tea salons, but the salty Hogs & Heifers Saloon—where patrons dance on the bar—is an institution.
