Story of a Restaurant

The New York Times takes you on an immersive journey through one of New York’s great meals. At the Michelin-starred restaurant Torrisi, Sam Sifton takes us on a tour of three dishes, tracing their culinary influences and origin stories through the streets of New York. The flavors — Jamaican jerk spices, pickling brine, Cantonese aromatics and more — tell a tale of a city, its food and its people. Pull up a chair.
