2nd Avenue — Kips Bay | Nonna Dora's 2nd Avenue
The Original on Second Avenue
This is where it all started — Nonna Dora at her pasta station, shaping orecchiette and cavatelli by hand the way she learned in Puglia decades ago. Come find her on 2nd Avenue in Kips Bay.
A Neighborhood Worth the Trip
Tucked into the quiet, residential stretch of Kips Bay — a genuine New York neighborhood, just minutes from Midtown but a world away from the crowds. The 6 train (28th or 33rd St) drops you right here.
A Family Table, Not a Franchise
Nonna Dora's daughter-in-law Astrid welcomes guests at the door, and the kitchen sends out linguine with sea urchin and bottarga that guests call the best pasta they've ever had. This is what family-run actually looks like.
