I used to put South Street Seaport into the same category as Times Square - avoid at all costs. However, I recently stumbled upon Front Street, a small side street just off the South Street Seaport, and found that it is home to a bunch of great local restaurants and cafes.
This particular night I was hungry for some pasta! After browsing the Italian restaurants on the street, I ventured into
Il Brigante for dinner.

| Il Brigante's storefront - so cute I love it! |
When you walk into this little gem, you are greeted with a cozy atmosphere filled with soft lighting, exposed brick walls, and a traditional open brick oven in the back. This little trattoria evokes a relaxed old world type feel.

| Inside of Il Brigante - just asks you to come in and take a load off! |
After perusing the menu, our group went with:
Pasta special of the night: Orrechiette with sausage and mushrooms in a pink sauce. This was my favorite dish of the night! Flavor was unbelievable with fresh mushrooms and perfectly seasoned sausages. I wolfed it all down. No sharing this dish!!
