Straight into it on this fine Friday afternoon with Legacy Records, a handsome new establishment from the Charlie Bird and Pasquale Jones team—who know how to open the hell out of a restaurant and have done so. It's open all the damn day long in Hudson Yards. A few pertinent facts and a menu below, then we'll send you off, a bit better-informed, into a
42 years is a long time. Enough time, one might argue, to perfect the art of cooking choice cuts of beef over a small, tabletop fire. Related: here's Sam Won Garden, the oldest KBBQ spot in all of existence, and you're damn right its first American outpost is open right now in K-Town. The interior is sleek, neutral and inoffensive: slate gray and
Baltimore-based pop-up Haenyo has been bringing the very best Maryland harvest cooked in the Korean tradition to choice restaurants in Philly, DC and Baltimore for the past few years—and this week, they're bringing their unique take on Korean classics to Brooklyn for the first time. Egg, specifically. So, grab a date and head on over Wednesday or Thursday.
While you ponder whether to abandon Facebook once and for all, your Instagram account wonders, "where does that leave me?" One idea: going to Kay's Boutique Café, a Bangkok operation popping up in Nolita for a few months and tempting us with its precious, portable French toasts.

Many people staring lovingly at each other over goblets of Mizu-lemongrass shochu. These are the elements Brasserie Seoul is made of: a newly opened
But what are Balinese sundaes, you may be wondering. Well, they're a collaboration between Brooklyn-based vegan ice cream company Van Leeuwen and Indonesian-inspired Greenpoint neighborhood joint Selamat Pagi (same owners, turns out)—and they combine flavors pulled from one of said owner's Australian upbringing and the team's extensive travels in
Tonight, and tonight only, BlackTail's head bartender will collaborate with Kingsley's chef and owner on an innovative five-course pairing menu. Freshly back from a residency in Cognac, France, where the duo studied food-cocktail pairings under Michelin Starred Chef Alain Ducasse and Grey Goose Cellar Master François Thibault, Jesse Vida and Roxanne
Just a quality Mexican option way down in the heart of FiDi. One with tequila-aloe-salted honey drinks, Mexican burgers and mezcal-fueled burlesque brunches on the weekends... Assuming we now have your undivided attention, meet Toro Loco: a lively new spot behind a pale pink door on Stone Street, soft-open now with brunch launching on, yes, Cinco de Mayo.
Should you be craving lobster rolls and tiki drinks... Head to the second floor of Arlo NoMad, where Spicoli's Clam Bar and Tiki Hut has set up shop for the summer.
