Had dinner at a restaurant called Peasant in Soho.  The restaurant is on Elizabeth Street.  Peasant serves comfort Italian food.  Prices are a bit pricey.  The starters and main courses are great.  I ordered the special starter, which was the rabbit livers over creamy polenta and wild mushrooms.  The livers were a bit on the dry side but good.  For the main course, I got the Osso Buco served with barley.  The dessert was not up to par with the savory dishes.  I ordered the peach tart but was served the pear tart.  Apparently, the dessert menu had a typo.  In any case, it was huge!  It was enough to feed three people.  The tart was also served with a scoop of hazelnut ice cream.
