The narrow-minded will tell you barbecue season has been over for months now. But you know better. You know the spirit of barbecue season lives within your heart all year round. These guys are with you on that... Pack some wet-naps for Mighty Quinn’s Barbeque, a real-life version of the barbecue shack that’s been creating ridiculous lines at
1. Did you know today is National Trivia Day? a) No. b) Yes, I subscribe to Pointless Holidays Quarterly. c) This is irrelevant, because a spacious, sexy den of sushi is opening below the Dream Downtown. The correct answer is C (and technically, A). And said den is called Cherry, a sumptuous, underground ode to raw fish, Japanese spirits and
Gin. Donuts. A silly amount of Peking duck. Oh, and some live jazz. Now that we have your attention... Behold The General, an immense abode of Asian goodness and pastry-slinging barmen in Nolita. It’s from the fellas who brought you Catch—EMM Group’s Mark Birnbaum and Eugene Remm—and they’re taking reservations now for tomorrow’s opening. Occasionally,
If you like boisterous Italian folks with charming Italian accents urging you to eat, congratulations—you’re alive. And you should probably know about this... Belt out a hearty “mangia” for Circolo, an airy NoHo villa of fresh Italian goodness that feels like spring and tastes like Tuscany. She’s open right now. You’re looking at a sort of farmhouse meets
Every now and then, we like to put you on to something healthy. But today, we’re not going to. Because... banana-cream-pie milkshakes.

There’s a chophouse by the name of Maloney & Porcelli. Maybe
Food The Hot List Well, that was quick. As of today, there’s precisely one month until that greeting-card holiday known as Saint Valentine’s. Which means reservation lines are now open. Which means you need to know the tables with the most hot-tubbing, champagne-drinking, total-privacy-having
Looks like winter found you. 1. Damn. 2. Time to revert to the old consume-lots-of-meat-and-cocktails method of coping. And hey, here’s the perfect place... Get comfortable at Cole’s Greenwich Village, a classic wedge of cocktails, carnivorous delights and vintage Greenwich Village charm, opening tonight. This is the Jimmy at the James Hotel
This is ridiculous. Thirteen is not an acceptable amount of degrees. Anyway, this should warm you up... Wear 10 sweaters to Antojería La Popular, a cozy little den of subversive Mexican tapas and liquid refreshment in Nolita, now open. Those places where a semi-late lunch just rolls right into dinner: this is one of those. The conversation will
Fire. The wheel. Electric can openers. Automobiles. The polio vaccine. T-shirt cannons. None of these innovations come anywhere close to topping this... It’s The Catlin Dog, a deep-fried, buffalo-sauce-coated hot dog that happens to be your ticket to Super Bowl–party legendry, available for game-day parties through UD Perks. Here’s
New Orleans has been in your thoughts lately. It’s hard to put a finger on exactly why that is... Oh, right, the mouthwatering crustaceans. We also would have accepted “Beyoncé,” but for now...
