Forget mac and cheese or chicken noodle soup — for a lot of people, comfort food involves a marinara sauce. So if you're seeking food that will at once soothe and delight, look to Supper. Part of Frank Prisinzano's downtown Italian eatery empire (Frank and Lil' Frankie), Supper brings Grandma's Northern Italian home cooking right to the East Village. While their standard menu hits the spot, Supper really shines with their specials. Their daily list is quite extensive, and the plates are always impeccably fresh and flavorful. Supper is always packed, but luckily they own the bar next door, so put your name on the list, then go sip a Chianti and enjoy the downtime. Cash only.
