Description.
We don’t want to inconvenience you, but tonight’s one of those “cancel your plans and do this instead” kind of nights. They happen. Tonight they happen at Doka Square, an all-over-Asia corner spot on the LES where we just have a feeling you’re going to have a good date or two. Seriously, we’re especially optimistic, and hey, it’s now open. You’re going to
We’re sending you to the suburbs. There, we said it. Can’t take it back now. Don’t want to. Just hear us out on Saltaire Oyster Bar & Fish House, a big old seafood spot in an old riverside warehouse in, get this, Port Chester. It opens Monday. Why, you ask, are we telling you about something in Westchester? Excellent query. And the answers are
“I’m still very much here today.” —Summer “I’ll be here tomorrow.” —This place ... Kat & Theo, a spacious Flatiron spot where you’ll have Mediterranean-ized American food. You’ll see what that means in the slideshow. As for the restaurant, it opens tomorrow. Dates, third or later. And business dinners, first or later. These are the times you’ll pull
That seat you’re in? It could be plusher and more velvety. And that chilled lobster with truffle you’re eating? It could definitely be more extant. Hell, the place you’re at could be called Vaucluse, pretty much your archetypal lovely, expansive Michael White dinner spot, only French. It opens tomorrow. And here’s the FAQ. How’d this come about? The
The Great Steak Boom of ’15 is upon us. Prepare yourself. And listen for the starting shot: Rocco Steakhouse, a very grand steak, chop and seafood palace in the usual style of such things.

Done, your wish is granted. Oh, you didn’t wish for L’Amico, an advanced-pizza-and-casual-date spot from Laurent Tourondel, opening tomorrow right on the border of Chelsea and NoMad? Well, sorry, but that’s what we’ve got for you today. This man, Tourondel. You know him because he started all the BLT places and Arlington Club, and they were good. But now
Yesterday, you watched football. Of course you did. It’s football season now, and that’s what happens. Tonight, you go to a vegan spot in the East Village, because you’re complicated like that. Here’s Avant Garden, the prettiest little vegan date spot you ever did see, from the gentleman behind Mother of Pearl, Death + Co and Bergen Hill. It’s opening
The Establishment: Sadelle’s, the new bagel, pastry and diner-ish spot from Jeff Zalaznick, Rich Torrisi and Mario Carbone. You already know what they’ve done. This place is open, and we checked it out. If you want to see their patty melt, you’ll need to look at the slideshow. And trust us, you want to see their patty melt.
You know how Manhattan real estate is these days. Skyrocketing rents. Unprecedented foreign investment. Giant barns popping up everywhere. See: Black Barn, an immense bi-level place for ribeye and wine just off Madison Square Park, opening tonight. Here’s the knowledge you should have going in. It feels pretty autumnal in there right now. Probably
And now, a haiku: Nice man in Fiat Shuts down every road in town. Here’s some barbecue. Specifically, Yunnan BBQ, where what used to be Yunnan Kitchen focuses on what’s really important.
