Down in Soho, workers are furiously prepping Osteria Morini, the soon to be unveiled new casual trattoria from chef Michael White and partner Chris Cannon. A peek through the brown paper covering that facade reveals that the place is pretty much done structurally—the bar is in, cabinets in, lights installed, copper pans in place on the walls, large wood ceiling beams good to go. Put out some furniture and turn the gas on in this sucker and we'll all be eating pasta in no time.
