Located in the East Village, Giano is a cozy spot serving delicious homemade pasta dishes.

The staff is very friendly, the food is fresh, and they boast a solid wine list.

Be sure to check out Gaino (Google Maps listing here) and listen to the full review!

You'll Have to Check It Out Segment 'Burp Castle'

Near 7th Street and 2nd Ave, it's a beer bar that requires quiet talking.

You will be shushed.

Mostly Belgian beers but rotating taps with a wide variety including sweeter fruit beers, classic ales, and stouts.

The murals are amazing. Their website says "Temple of beer worship. Operated by the Brewist Monks since 1022 a.d." Back in the 90's the bartenders actually wore monk robes, but no longer unfortunately...
