The Meatball Shop

Editorial Review

Just what the nabe needs: more meatballs. The Long Tail as applied to restaurants, serving a niche specialty out of a homey white-tiled storefront. Fortunately, everybody loves meatballs. Especially when they're cooked up by serious chefs (SPQR and Le Bernardin are on the résumé here.) All meat ground in-house, enjoy your patties in sliders, heroes, or naked as they day they were born. Also ice cream sandwiches and fresh-milled polenta. Comfort food is the new black.
