Al Fresco Dining


One of our favorite summertime pastimes at Bellybusters is eating outdoors. When the sun is shining, it just doesn’t get better than good weather, good friends and great food. In the up-and-coming warm weather weeks, we will be giving you a list of our suggestions for top outdoor spots. This week we’re featuring the West Village:

Bar Pitti (Prosciutto Cotte E Mozzarella Griglato Panini with dry Pinot Grigio)
Fiddlesticks, 55 Greenwich Ave., 212-463-0516 (Fish and Chips with a glass of Bud Draught)
Gusto, 60 Greenwich Ave., 212-924-8000 (Carciofi Alla Giudea (Fried Artichokes) and Cacio E Pepe (pasta with cracked black pepper & pecorino) with a crisp glass of Rose )
Barbuto, 775 Washington St., 212-924-9700 (Crispy gnocchi with squash and parmesan and Cavolini di Bruxelles (shaved brussel sprouts, toasted walnuts, pecorino and lemon) with their refreshing zenzero mojito)
Tortilla Flats, 767 Washington St., 212-243-1053 (Chimichangas with a pitcher of Margaritas)*

*Warning: we would only recommend this spot for the desperately hungover or rowdy/cheesy birthday parties….
