The Commerce Inn
True culinary geniuses can find inspiration from just about anywhere, including, apparently, an 18th century religious group founded in Upstate New York. Hey, if celebrated chefs and restaurateurs Jody Williams and Rita Sodi build it, foodies will come. The duo behind Via Carota and Bar Pisellino have unveiled their latest venture in the West Village, The Commerce Inn. Its simple, straightforward, and seasonal menu highlights heirloom cuisine based on recipes from the Christian group, the Shakers. We mean, you'll definitely need the help of a higher power to get a reservation.
