This is another classic that I return to over and over, the tagliolini with spicy crabmeat and tomato sauce at Mezzogiorno. I love tomato-sauce-based pastas, and the brilliant flavor of fresh crab paired here with a light touch of heat is just so loveable. The thin homemade flat pasta is delicate and mimics the fineness of the crabmeat. I like to share everything, but I’ll fight for the last bite of this dish.

I’m not quite sure how I missed the crab cakes at The Grand Central Oyster Bar all these years. It’s no secret, since they sell out on Wednesdays, the only day they’re on the menu. A mixture of fresh and dried breadcrumbs create the perfect texture for these deep-fried jumbo lump crab cakes. And the accompanying Baltimore sauce, a marinara with Tabasco and Old Bay seasoning, is also a killer. Is it Wednesday yet?
