It\u2019s become a local hotspot. For Puck, part of the attraction was being able to source his food locally, whether beets from nearby farms or scallops from Nantucket.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to steak, Puck goes with the 8-ounce New York American Wagyu Striploin. \u201cYou have the best of both worlds,\u201d he says, \u201cthe richness of the Wagyu beef and the flavour of the American Black Angus.\u201d Diners can do more than look into the open kitchen, where their steaks and fish are grilled over open fire; they\u2019re welcome to venture in and witness the food preparation. \u201cIt\u2019s really exciting, and the chefs love it,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<h2>The Mailroom<\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t let the name fool you \u2013 there\u2019s nothing quotidian happening at this subterranean lounge. Instead, you can party like The Wolf of Wall Street (within reason), with mixologist-made cocktails, vintage pinball, plenty of room to dance and even a bocce-ball court. Since it opened in the fall of 2017, the room has played host to countless New York Fashion Week events, as well as performances by Patti Smith and James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem. Consider it the perfect place to continue the fun after dinner.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"body_block_12\" class=\"body-block body-block-infographic large-body-media\">\n<div class=\"fs-image\">\n<div class=\"fs-image-container\">\n                                                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"970\" height=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/westvillage1.png\" class=\"infographic-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/westvillage1.png 970w, https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/westvillage1-300x115.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/westvillage1-768x295.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/>                                            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"body_block_13\" class=\"body-block body-block-single-image large-body-media\">\n<div class=\"fs-image\">\n<div class=\"fs-image-container\">\n                <picture class=\"article-title-image\">\n        <!--[if IE 9]><video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/westvillage1.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\"><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/westvillage1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-mobile_large size-mobile_large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/westvillage1.jpg 970w, https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/westvillage1-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/westvillage1-768x428.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/westvillage1-360x201.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/>    <\/picture>\n                        <\/div>\n<ul class=\"element-share\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/feed?app_id=998607926923032&#038;display=popup&#038;redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmagazine.fourseasons.com%2Fclose.html&#038;link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fourseasons.com%2Fmagazine%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php&#038;picture=https%3A%2F%2Fdjdo2py1q6zlg.cloudfront.net%2Fmagazine%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F12%2Fwestvillage1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"icon-share icon-facebook\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fourseasons.com%2Fmagazine%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"icon-share icon-twitter\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fourseasons.com%2Fmagazine%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php&#038;media=https%3A%2F%2Fdjdo2py1q6zlg.cloudfront.net%2Fmagazine%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F12%2Fwestvillage1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"icon-share icon-pinterest\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"body_block_14\" class=\"body-block text-block body-block-article-content-block quote-below\">\n<div class=\"entry\">\n<h2>Via Carota<\/h2>\n<p>Chefs and partners Jody Williams (<a href=\"https:\/\/ilovebuvette.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buvette<\/a>) and Rita Sodi (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.isodinyc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I Sodi<\/a>) joined forces to produce <a href=\"http:\/\/www.viacarota.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Via Carota<\/a>, a loving testament to rustic Italian cooking and market-fresh fare.
