Executive chef Hillary Sterling knows the NYC Marathon is around the corner when the crowds gather at Ci Siamo. Since the Hudson Yards Italian restaurant opened nearly five years ago, business has surged every Thursday and Friday before race weekend, especially at lunchtime. Last year alone, Sterling and her team served 716 bowls of tagliatelle and rigatoni to runners gearing up for race day, generating an estimated $18,000 in sales.
