The kitchen is semi-open this time. This week, the West Village — currently a hub for Gen-Z brunches and creator-core fashion — will get a jolt of Obama-era nostalgia when Dell’anima returns. After a seven-year stint uptown at the now-closed Gotham West Market, in Hell’s Kitchen, the trattoria is returning to its brick-and-mortar roots below 14th Street.

Every day on the Upper East Side, lines snake outside the neighborhood’s two Butterfield Markets. These crowds are particularly striking because of the diversity of age on display: There are old people. There are babies. There are couples, nannies, tourists, friends, and medical professionals. At 3 p.m. on a recent Wednesday, a pair of crop-topped grad students transplanted from California stood ahead of a taut, impatient middle-aged Australian in athleisure.

The topic du jour inside the New York restaurant industry is not who makes the best new spritz or which Greenmarket stand’s rhubarb is at its peak: It’s general managers, specifically how few good ones are out there. “The other day, our linen supplier came in, and he was like, ‘Yeah, there’s a lot of high-profile general-manager changes in the city,’” says Austin Baker, the owner of the Snail, a bistro on the northeastern edge of McCarren Park.
