Charlie Bird

Tweeting away on SoHo's western fringe, skinny Charlie Bird is all about local produce, rustic Italian know-how and clever homespun twists. Mingle at the marble bar, or slip into a hand-sewn leather chair for artful dishes, such as whole grilled branzino with salsa verde, or chicken liver with crab-apple mostarda. Keeping company is a wine list laced with pleasant surprises.
