Nestled between First and Second Avenues, this cozy, sub-level eatery is a fave with the beautiful people and power brokers alike. The heaping pasta dishes are not to be missed – the spectacular spaghetti and artichoke rigatoni among them. Scalinatella also offers a good selection of tasty fish and seafood options like grilled calamari and their popular linguine with clams. Whatever your entrée, just make sure you save room for an obligatory order of tiramisu for dessert – you won't be sorry. Dinner reservations are strongly recommended, especially on the weekends. TRAIN: Q, N, R to Lexington Ave; 4, 5, 6 to 59th St
