I recommend Express.js ( http://www.expressjs.com ). It's Sinatra-like and gives you static pages, sessions, and HAML/SASS templating. I've been using it with the project node-mongodb-native leveraging MongoDB as a datastore (although the Mongoose project looks like it might be a cleaner interface: http://www.learnboost.com/mongoose/ ).

Express looks to still be a synchronous-oriented framework (which could just be the result of the documentation, but I did not see anything in the documentation that suggested helping write asynchronous Servers)
