What the creator captured
Action Bronson explores the 'alt pasta' universe at Win Son in Brooklyn, where Taiwanese flavors are masterfully fused with Italian techniques. He was particularly impressed by the 'stupid' delicious chicken liver wontons and the innovative use of bottarga butter in a wok. Bronson concludes that these unique riffs, like the lamb ragu large-format wonton, represent a revolutionary approach to traditional pasta.

Planning notes for New York
The West Village, located in Lower Manhattan, is defined by a street layout that predates the 1811 Commissioner’s Grid, resulting in a network of angled and narrow thoroughfares. Historically, the area evolved from an 18th-century rural settlement into a residential district. It contains the Greenwich Village Historic District, which protects a high concentration of 19th-century architecture. The architectural landscape features Federal-style rowhouses from the early 1800s, Greek Revival townhomes.
