AIR SUPPLY’s Global Holiday Guest Editors
Miracle Below 14th Street
Jody Williams and Rita Sodi have built a wonderful life in the West Village. The chefs and partners preside over a mini-empire of some of the best restaurants in New York: Via Carota, I Sodi, Buvette, Bar Pisellino, and the Commerce Inn. Their holidays are filled with food and neighborhood charm
Do as the Locals Do
A New York State of Mind
Festive Feasting
Via Carota
“At Via Carota we serve the Feast of the Seven Fishes. Down the block, I Sodi indulges in truffles all season. At Buvette, we have a long-standing tradition of popping champagne and serving eggs with caviar at midnight on New Year’s Eve. I guess we are biased.” - J.W.
Worth the Wait
Wollman Rink
“Ice skating at Wollman Rink in Central Park or waiting in line at Russ and Daughters for lox. ” - R.S.
‘Tis the Season of Traditions
Buvette
“Our West Village tradition: drinking Vin Chaud at Buvette on Grove Street before picking out a little Christmas tree over on Jane Street. There is just something sweet about walking home with a Charlie Brown Christmas tree in tow before you untangle the damn lights. ” - J.W.
Holiday Dessert
Té Company
“Homemade is best but who doesn’t appreciate Té Company Pineapple Linzer cookies or Lady M 20-layer mille crêpes cakes. ” - R.S.
