So basically, the synopsis of a long story short: you should eat here.
When visiting my cousin in NYC a few weeks ago, she introduced me to Barbalu, an Italian restaurant in South Street Sea Port down near the financial district. Barbalu is a bit of splurge, as is everything in NYC, but tasty -- and not all that much of a splurge considering most things on the menu are under $20.
I'm actually not a huge fan of eating straight-up mushrooms. But the word "mushrooms" in the same sentence as tortellini, Alfredo, spinach, pasta, cheese...I mean, 90% of that sentence are things I love. And even though biting mushrooms isn't my favorite thing to do ever, I enjoy mushroom flavor and mushroom sauce. So this pasta, that was actually a special that night, was a win!
The interior was also super nice. Not over the top at all, but just enough, and cozy. Spinach doesn't need fancy stuff on the walls surrounding it to taste good, but you know, sometimes fancy stuff on the walls can make dinner taste a little better.

If you're ever in South St. Sea Port and happen to be hungry...or have a craving for spinach (probably likely) then stop by Barbalu and order the spinach option!
