Description.
Sigmund Freud once said, “Beauty has no obvious use; nor is there any clear cultural necessity for it. Yet civilization could not do without it.” Preach, Freud. Preach. And that brings us to a handsome place called Freud, one of those Austrian-tinged comfort food brasseries with a Michelin-starred chef you see so often these days on LaGuardia Place. It’s
We’re about to get what some might consider hyperbolic here. So just bear with us, get excited and unhinge a jaw for Salvation Burger, April Bloomfield and Ken Friedman’s version of a casual burger spot, now open at the Pod 51 Hotel in Midtown East. When we say “their version,” what we mean is that there are wood-fire ovens, a full bar and a very large wall
Well, you already know why you’re here. Come on in. For the first time in more than a decade, the Batali and Bastianich crew has a new stand-alone place. It’s Italian. It’s at the Maritime Hotel. It’s opening fully tonight. And it’s called La Sirena. Look, you weren’t going to escape this. When something opens from the people who created Babbo, Del
Cue the slow-motion, ultra-close-up igniting of a flame. Cut to the taking out of a pizza from a massive wood-burning oven. Cut to you saying to your date, “The Charlie Bird guys run this place, you know.” Cut to the date: “Oh, really? I love that place.” You: “Me, too, date. Me, too.” You might want to work on your dialogue game. And you might want to
It’s Friday and the whole city’s got that... Friday feeling. So as not to distract from that warmth, let’s dive in... To Bedford & Co, a post-work spot for a casual two-man ribeye and a cocktail, now open near Grand Central from the man behind Waverly Inn, the Lion and Crown. We’re going to quickly invent a word here and then promise never to use it
What do you do after opening a Michelin-star-granted Thai restaurant in Nolita? If you’re sitting there, shouting internally, “You open a positively tiny all-American-style diner and name it after your grandfather,” you’d be stunningly correct. You’re not, though. Nah, you couldn’t be. But that’s the story behind Mr. Donahue’s, the latest eatery from the
Well, a Mexican place with a beer-glazed short rib burger on a black brioche bun exists now. So we’ve achieved that. It’s called Temerario, and it’s home to said burger, a luchador and a motley assortment of Mexican street food and cocktails. It’s also open now in Chelsea from the Black Ant and Ofrenda guys. There are some very attractive, but sadly
Today, Friday, we just want you to enjoy life. So here’s Indian Accent, exactly what would happen if you put excellent Indian food and Midtown in a blender. It’s open now. Just some quick background here: the New Delhi version of this is largely considered one of the best restaurants, if not the best one, in India, and its chef is here now, so they’re
If patience is a virtue, this panini place is the most virtuous fucking thing in this city. It’s Antico Noè, a Florence, Italy, sandwich spot that’s decided to settle its second-ever location in Midtown East, after 71 years. It’s open now. To elaborate a little bit, in 1945 the Florence spot opened. Then many things happened: Elvis. The Simpsons.
So you’ve decided to skip dinner and go straight to cocktails. To throw caution to the wind. You’ve made this mistake so many times before. Why do you do this to yourself? Luckily, we’ve found a fail-safe to keep you on the right path. It’s called Dinnertable, a cozy little dining room tucked behind the eastern outpost of the Garret—a reverse speakeasy,
