Because today’s about Le Fond, a charming little French spot in Greenpoint. It’s open now, and if you gaze into this slideshow, you’re going to get hungry. As you can see above, from the way the sun’s

The Gospel

Here’s what you do: You go to Church Street Tavern, and... actually, let’s back up. It’s a tavern. It’s on Church Street. And it’s open now. Anyway: you go there, you take a look around, you take a seat, and you just want to hole up and wait out the winter.

Because this is about Arrogant Swine, a massive temple of Carolina-style pork and beer and whiskey from the guy behind the Hog Days of Summer pop-up, opening tomorrow in Bushwick.

Crown Vic

You get to use the word “quartino” today. For that, you can thank Vic’s, opening tonight in NoHo. This was Five Points. The bad news: that’s closed. The good: the same husband-and-wife team’s behind this. And Cookshop. And Hundred Acres. If the scene outside Cookshop is any indicator, this’ll be high-quality people-watching country. But you should
