Your word of the day is Luksus. Definition: a warmly wooded, mural-covered little tasting-menu restaurant tucked behind the Greenpoint beer Valhalla, Tørst. It’s taking reservations now for a July 16 opening. Here’s a little enlightenment on the subject for you. You’ll want to act on that “taking reservations” part immediately, if not
Got a game changer for you today. It combines basements, Wrigley Field, hotel bars and really messy poultry... ... seamlessly. It’s called The Elm, and it’s beautiful: a big-deal subterranean dinner spot from the chef of Corton. It’s opening Friday at the King & Grove Williamsburg, and here’re the facts. It’s a grown-up spot.Think foie gras with
Piloting a zeppelin or going to the Upper East Side. You’re doing one of these tonight. We don’t care which. But FYI... Here’s The East Pole, a bright, dual-level home of fresh deliciousness from the Fat Radish and Leadbelly guys, opening tonight on a quiet UES block. You know what these guys are about—oysters just plucked from the sea,
The running of the models commences now. You may call it Fashion Week. And hey, we’ve found one of its hubs of activity. In a shocking turn of events, there’s veal... Look upon Trattoria Il Mulino, the sexy, spacious younger sibling of the power Italian food mecca, opening tomorrow in Gramercy. The Il Mulinos. You know them. They’re where the
They say never judge a book by its cover. They also used to say you could cure diseases with leeches and that the world was flat. Point is, they say stuff. Shouldn’t stop you from enjoying something beautiful. Like Pagani, a West Village Italian spot you should use for... The tragically underutilized off-bar meal. Below the drop-beam ceilings and just
Williamsburg: not a place for asking questions. It’s a place for sitting at a slab of oak tree beneath a stuffed goat, and digging on some scrumptious meat pastries... At least it is at Shelter, a spacious Williamsburg lair of whiskey and Argentine-Italian edibles, now open. El Almacen and Rosarito Fish Shack. Same folks behind those created
Here’s some food for thought: French dip sandwiches in dumpling form. Now... start thinking. And eating at Joe & MissesDoe, a cozy slice of the East Village where all your giant cocktail and comfort food fantasies are fulfilled, opening Thursday. This was simply JoeDoe until recently. Then a marriage occurred (seriously). Now it’s been upgraded
So much interesting stuff happens underground. Mass transit, all this millennium’s good music, the mole-people society and... this place. Step into B.B.R., a wood-covered underground hull of cocktails and the foods that love them, now open underneath Rye in Williamsburg. (And forget we mentioned the mole people.) The name stands for “Bar Below
If there’s anything you know Boston for, it’s colleges, baked beans, the Green Monster, Sam Adams, Paul Revere, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and an inexplicable love of Dunkin’ Donuts. But if there’s one thing you should know it for, it’s this tapas place. It’s called Toro, and it’s now a spacious, beautiful New York Spanish tapas place, too. It quietly
Once upon a time, in a magical land (call it Brooklyn), there was a place named Saul. It was glorious. It was Michelin starred. It was... closed after 14 years of business. But now, like a majestic phoenix rising from the ashes, it’s back. And it’s made a few upgrades... Welcome back to Saul, resurrected smack-dab in the middle of the Brooklyn
