I am always looking for small, cozy restaurants in New York for those nights when you just want to be low-key and dive into deep conversations with old friends. I did just that last night at a small Italian spot in the West Village, Extra Virgin. Even though it was completely packed, we carried on our animated conversation without skipping a beat while enjoying their delicious fare. I never order chicken at a restaurant, but my companion was so adamant that I broke my own rule – and was so glad that I did. The mushroom crusted virgin chicken is simply Ah-mazing.
