Craving a quick trip to Positano without your passport? Just jet on over to Chelsea where you can dine and imbibe like an Italian on holiday at the new Alba Accanto. The breezy "cocktail and crudi" bar comes from Prince Street Hospitality and the team behind adjacent hot spot Cucina Alba, led by hospitality vets Cobi Levy and Will Makris.

Following the sceney success of its pasta-driven sister eatery, Alba Accanto recently debuted this April, serving up shareable Italian bites like focaccia, calamari, and steak carpaccio as well as aperitivo-style drinks, including a unique selection of spritzes and negronis. The bright, intimate space is outfitted with a marble bar and gilded accents, along with handcrafted decorative objects sourced from Italy and colorful artwork by the renowned Alex Katz.
