After much hullaboo, Amy Sacco's first restaurant, with chef Arlene Jacobs at the helm, is open. And a powerhouse it is. After Bono told us how much he liked it, we ran right over. Apparently Sting is a fan also. So say what you will about its rocky beginning, now it's just all about rock. The mostly women-masterminded (designer Diana Vinoly, architect Carolina Buzzetti, uniforms by designer Kim Nguyen) sumptuous dining room has a comfortable old world European feel that's slightly formal (none of the loud shouting of those meat packing places) and which should make all those uptown socialites feel right at home downtown. Almost as impressive as the paparazzi-free, intime lunch or dinner we can have with our fave musicians here is the faboo plum wine cocktail; it's tres tasty.
