One of the biggest openings of the season is just around the corner: Danny Meyer’s Roman-style trattoria, Maialino, is expected to open next week. Located in the Gramercy Park Hotel, the bright space is divided into a front bar section and a rear dining room. Note that this will be the first fine-dining restaurant for Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group since The Modern, and the first of any of his restaurants to serve breakfast. Offal fans should also keep their eyes on this project: Chef Nick Anderer promises to devote some of his menu to Rome’s famed quinto quarto, or “fifth-quarter” cooking, which features the organ meats and other secondary cuts. That means dishes like oxtails (presumably coda alla vaccinara?), tripe, pigs head terrines and bucatini all’amatriciana, the pasta sauce made with pork jowl. Buon appetito!
