It’s about The State of New York Side Dishes, a slideshow in nine parts that’ll take you through... nine sides and extras you will want immediately upon seeing them. Entrées and “small plates” need not apply. Well, what
We’ve got some good news and some bad news. The bad: you already know it if you’ve been outside today. Now the good: It’s the coming of Okiway, a colorful Bushwick spot for some laissez-faire takes on some Japanese-bar-food staples, opening tomorrow. We’ll shortly dive right into some photos that show you things here along with some words that
It’s Friday. Yep, we feel good about it, too. So we’ll probably see you at Angel of Harlem, a Caribbean-Latin spot that’s going to be your go-to for cocktails and that kind of food now. It’s open.

You know how Abe Froman is the Sausage King of Chicago? Well, he’s not real. Never was. But dry your eyes, we’ve got a sausage monarch right here.

In this life, you’re going to have days where you drink wood-fired dirty martinis, and you’re going to have days where you don’t. Those are the two main kinds of days. And today’s one of the former. This is Macchina, an Upper West Side corner of unspeakable wood-fired Italian deliciousness and cocktails. It’s open and, come to think of it, we’ll now speak
When you see all those chickens on a spit in a rotisserie together, doesn’t it kind of remind you of synchronized swimming? Or the Rockettes? No? It doesn’t? Not even a little bit, eh? Oh, ha. Us either. But let’s just talk about Broken Spoke Rotisserie, a laid-back Kips Bay spot for fiery spinning meat and post-work liquids, now open. There once was a
Wait, it’s Friday? That is fantastic news. It totally had that “Thursday” feel for a while. Here’s some more fantastic news: Petite Cocotte, a place that is both very petite and possessing of comely French food. She opens Tuesday next to the only-slightly-larger Cocotte. Eight seats.

In the words of LL Cool J in his seminal 1991 work, “Mama Said Knock You Out,” “Don’t call it a comeback.” But he’s currently starring in NCIS: Los Angeles, so with all due respect to Mr. Cool J: Call it Jams, the return of the first farm-to-table restaurant ever in New York.
