Fumo Soho

Soho’s streets hum with the kind of energy that turns weekday lunches into something closer to a night out. Fumo Soho lands squarely in that rhythm, a spot where the menu leans on Italian classics without apology. The address—510 Broome St—places it just far enough from the weekend crowds to feel like a local secret, yet close enough to the subway that solo diners can slip in after work without missing a beat. Tables spill onto the sidewalk when the weather cooperates, and the bar keeps pace with cocktails that arrive faster than the conversation around them.

Takeout orders are packed with the same care as the plates that leave the kitchen, a detail that hasn’t gone unnoticed by the steady stream of regulars stopping by for lunch or dinner. Beer and wine share the spotlight with the food, though the real draw is the way the place manages to feel both lively and unhurried. Call (646) 370-5068 if you want to claim a table before the after-work crowd arrives, or pull up the map for directions: here’s the link.
