It’s a hard thing to create and even harder to capture, particularly in our instant gratification, attention-deficit-disorder society. In Boston’s flour- Bishing dining scene, what’s hot and what’s not can change faster than J. Lo switches husbands. So to compile our Hot List, we’ve ferreted out those restau- rants, culinary artists and food trends that are on everyone’s lips—right now— but that have the staying power to endure beyond their buzz-worthy status. HOT CUISINE: ITALIAN Once upon a time, if you wanted great Italian food, you went straight to the North End. But now there are celebrated Italian eateries all over town, from Via Matta in Park Square to Teatro in the Theater District, and two newcomers have further stoked this fire. Umbria (295 Franklin St., 617-338-1000), which opened with a splash in the Financial District last fall, focuses on the nuances of the oft-over- looked Umbria region of Italy. The impeccable team of Marisa Iocco and Rita D’Angelo execute the more robust, meat-centric Umbrian dishes for hungry diners. in On the other hand, La Morra (48 Boylston St., Brookline, 617-739-0007) reminds us that Tuscany is still a lovely place to be—except perhaps for Atkins dieters. Reunite with pasta made to perfection on a 1940s-era machine or savor the succu- lent roasted meats that have made this northern region of Italy a popular refer- ence for Italian-American chefs for decades. HOT CONCEPTS: SIBLING RIVALRY and MERITAGE Beantown’s now got its own version of TV’s “The Iron Chef.” Brothers Bob and David Kinkead square off in a battle of recipes at Sibling Rivalry (525 Tremont St., 617-338-5338), a high-concept new eatery in the South End. What’s the hook? Each brother creates a dish based around a particular ingredient—be it beets, ginger, clams, cod or whatever else they decide. The results are tantalizing. While Bob uses duck confit to enliven a salad of red cabbage, endive, apple and Roquefort, David fashions an entree of laquered duck meat kissed with port and accompanied by chestnuts, sauteed quince and roasted vegetables. This is one familial food fight you won’t want to miss. Whether you’re an oenophile, a wine novice who wants to learn more or just a fan of the critically acclaimed, hit movie Sideways, you’re sure to love Meritage at the Boston Harbor Hotel (Rowes Wharf, 617-439-3995). Nationally renowned chef Daniel Bruce has created an ingenious wine and food pairing menu that helps illu- minate and enhance the flavors of both. Diners choose a wine category—sparklers, light whites, fruity reds, robust reds, etc.—then pick one of four corresponding dishes. Both small and large plates are available for each selection, so patrons can experience a number of combinations in one meal. HOT FRENCH: PIERROT BISTROT In 2004, the Hub bid au revoir to two classics in French cuisine—the landmark restaurant Maison Robert, and the legendary chef who brought French cooking into our homes for decades, Julia Child.

  • Chapter One the BEST of NEW YORK
    6484-6 Ch01.F 3/25/02 9:06 AM Page 11 Chapter One THE BEST OF NEW YORK I certainly hope that you will be reading every word in this book (and underlining the good parts in pink felt-tip pen), but I under- stand that many people are truly living the New York Minute and are constantly on a mad dash from here to there—unable to spare the time to read this guide from cover to cover. Or, you may have the time to read this entire book, but find all the possibilities overwhelming. It’s also possible that you won’t be overwhelmed by the information in this book, but find that when you actually get to New York City, you get confused just trying to figure out which way is uptown and which is down- town, let alone trying to find a specific shop in NoLita. To combat the above problems, I have created this at-a-glance chapter to help you get started quickly and easily by using these pages as a handy tip sheet. This chapter features some easy- to-locate shops where you can find what you need if you’re short on time. Each store mentioned here is explained in greater depth in later chapters, and there are plenty more shops discussed inside. Addresses in all listings are given with cross streets so that you can find your destination more easily. When taking a taxi, tell the driver the cross streets as soon as you get in the car so there is no confusion.

What started in March 2006 with 880 participants has attracted 12,600 ITB visitors in total until last year. As organizer of this conference, I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all the panelists of the years past! Without the know- how of these hoteliers, tourist experts and specialists – also from other sectors – the Hospitality Day wouldn't have become a magnet at the ITB congress.
