SPRING FORWARD we’re swapping snow boots for bright heels, winter woolens for chambray— and spending the afternoon exploring the city and sampling gelato. mary malabanan, our specialty handbag and small leather goods buyer, shows us a whole new meaning to (weekday) la dolce vita. photographed by

how to find
CAPRI NEW YORK in
for sipping and savoring: otto pizzeria ’ s wine classes 1 5 th avenue, 212.995.9559 ottopizzeria.com we don’t just love this greenwich village enoteca for its pizza (although that tops our list, too)— instead swing by on a weekend afternoon for one of the restaurant’s coveted wine classes where you’ll get artisanal meats, cheeses and sips of regional vino for only $45.
to market, to market: buon italia 75 9 th avenue, 212.633.9090 buonitalia.com cooking up something special? chelsea market’s sprawling buon italia is filled from floor to ceiling with imported and local italian delicacies (read: a seven pound jar of nutella and more than 87 varieties of pasta) so no matter what’s on the menu you’re sure to impress.
the little italy essential: caffe palermo 148 mulberry street, 212.431.4205 caffeepalermo.com what better place to kick off your italian tour then at the bakery of the self-proclaimed cannoli king? once you’ve had your fill of sweets, stop by parm (248 mulberry street) for a classic chicken francese, and grom gelato (233 bleecker) shipped straight from rome.
for faking italian culinary skills at your next dinner party: brucie 234 court street, 347.987.4961 brucienyc.com
carroll gardens may be chock full of italian gems but brucie stands heads and shoulders above the rest thanks to inventive dishes (like meatballs infused with lavender) and a lasagna drop off service where—for only $65— they’ll fill an entire empty pan to-go with one of their tasty dishes.
to take a racy italian number for a spin: classic car club manhattan 250 hudson street, 212.229.2402 classiccarclubmanhattan.com
this private car club lets you test drive more than 40 classic cars including maseratis, ferraris and more (for a steep price tag). we love it for saturday afternoon “window shopping” at the soho garage that leaves us dreaming of a few, far off winding coastal roads.
for food just like mom made it (with a twist) : the meatball shop 64 greenwich avenue, 212.982.7815
themeatballshop.com meatballs get a major makeover (think fried eggs, pesto and parmesan cream sauce) care of the meatball shop. here, a check-list style menu lets you “choose your own adventure” of sliders, heros and more and then finish it off with moscato and a freshly baked ice cream sandwich.
