Restaurant Round-Up: Where To Dine With Out-Of-Towners

Sauce

Sauce takes the trendy farm-to-table concept to the next level. This Lower East Side trattoria prides itself on its “holistic approach to food,” meaning full animals are brought in weekly to butcher in-house, and every part of the animal is used to its maximum potential. (You can even watch this process through the kitchen’s large windows on Rivington.) The main focus of the food is—you guessed it—the sauce, so be sure to try the handmade pastas and rich ragus. Who to bring: Meals are meant to be shared, so Sauce is a great place to bring those distant cousins who dropped by for a visit—the food provides easy talking points. It’s also a good choice for foodie friends and family. Note: it’s cash only. Sauce 78 Rivington St., at Allen St. 212-420-7700 [Photo via]
