Casino

Italian restaurants thrive on the Lower East Side; Casino leans into the scene with a compact yet potent menu. Beyond the usual pasta picks, expect a rotation of small plates that keep the early evening moving. Cocktails arrive promptly, and a concise but thoughtful wine list turns a table for one into a viable option. Late-night diners also find refuge here—coffee, beer, and hard liquor stay on offer long after the kitchen closes.

Find it at 171 E Broadway, New York, NY 10002; once the block loses its daytime pulse, the doors stay open for those who need them. Reach the staff at (646) 864-0101—or pull up the map here before you walk over.
