Aurora SoHo:
It might sound like risky business to clone the laid-back, rustic décor of their Williamsburg location at their new SoHo spot, but the owners of Aurora don’t mind taking chances. If you're risky enough to engulf your table candles in little brown bags, clearly you’ve got the confidence it takes to succeed. A modest lil’ abode, dimly-lit, and traced with dark wood and brick walls, Aurora provides an authentic Italian vino and pasta experience sans annoying tourists from Oklahoma. Choose from over 60 bottled wines and 12 by the glass. Or sample the minuscule four-beer collection which screams “quality not quantity.” Sip on hard-to-find Italian brews such as Tappeto Volante and treat yourself to the Crispy Artichoke. No risk here; more like a no-brainer.
