No Need For A Passport: Go International Without Leaving The Isle Of Manhattan

Via Della Pace

Italian restaurant Via Della Pace is always a sure thing, and one of my favorite spots in the East Village. Although small, Via is ALWAYS packed, and with good reason.  They boast an extensive list of Italian wines, and their variety of bruschettas are simply out of this world. Have to try: Bruschette Umbra Via Della Pace 48 E 7th St (between 2nd Ave & 1st Ave) New York, NY 10003 [Portobello Salad, Fettuccine Mamma Munda, Photos via]
