When ABC Localish needed an "Italian food expert" to appear on their show My Go-To, they looked no further than our very own Editor-in-Chief and Co-founder, Andrew Cotto.

Paired with episode host, chef and Italian food influencer Alessandra Ciuffo, Andrew helped explain the unique concept behind Travelers, Poets & Friends, a West Village (NYC) all day Italian eatery operated by Riccardo Orfino (Executive Chef); Emanuele Nigro (Manager / Business Operations), and Wael Deek (Director of Experience), the trio of One More Hospitality Group with NYC restaurants Alice, Osteria57, Alaluna (within Poets, Travelers & Friends) and the gelato shop Pamina (next door to Poets).

Alessandra and Andrew spoke extensively with each of the three partners while sipping, eating, laughing and learning about their special establishment.
