We saw that they were open on the Chow Bella blog yesterday and decided to go last night. It felt just like going to the 40th St location, same menu, decor...but somehow better.
We ordered a couple of glasses of wine and a bruschetta and were very pleased with the service and quality of food. The place was packed! I think this neighborhood has been waiting for something like this for some time.
I won't miss the old Katz Deli too much though it was a part of local history; the new Postino is a welcome change and I love the openness of the back bar and patio. It's a nice place and we will be back!
Oh, and expect to hear a lot of 80s new wave music, at least that's what was playing when we showed up...the Cure, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode seem to be their theme.
Like their other location, expect the finest breads from MJ Bread as well as tasty treats from Tammie Coe Cakes. mmmmm.
And you'll need to use the valet unless you get there between 11-4 (and you'll get $5 wine for being early).
