Description.
Everything here is very clean, and everything here is very meticulously put-together and attractive, and... Sorry. Got ahead of ourselves a little with N’eat, an obnoxiously named East Village Nordic spot that will nevertheless quickly be responsible for your soon-to-be-found love of squid noodles. It opens tonight. Noma, in Denmark, is pretty much the
You didn’t go trick-or-treating on Monday, which makes sense because you’d look ridiculous out there, as an adult. But another reason is that your palate has grown more sophisticated than to settle for a pillowcase full of Laffy Taffy. And so here is Kreuther Handcrafted Chocolate, a big, bright shop of sweet foods and childlike wonder from a man who
Voting: one of our great American duties. Bringing you news that everyone in Los Angeles’s favorite sushi spot just landed in our own fair city: a duty that’s very clearly on us. And one you’re probably more excited to read about at this point, if we had to guess. So here’s Sugarfish: no, really, it’s figuratively everyone in Los Angeles’s favorite sushi
Optimistically assuming there is a tomorrow, we’ll all live to be able to go to F.O.B. together. It’s a Filipino street food spot from an ex-Daniel chef opening Thursday in Carroll Gardens. Most of the words you need to read will be tucked into this slideshow, because there’s a lot of Filipino barbecue and tuna kilawin with mango to go through. Plus it’s a
Let’s say, hypothetically, there were two new places you should check out, right down the block from each other on 24th Street. Let’s call one Italienne and the other Shay & Ivy. We’ll pretend that one is a sweeping new Italian-Provençal spot, and the other a lounge-bar-restaurant hybrid. Now, you ready for a shock? It’s not hypothetical at all.
Manhattanites are so put upon. Can’t even get a Dale Talde restaurant to frequent. What kind of life is that? Oh, what’s that you say, world? Now there’s Massoni, a proudly inauthentic Italian hotel restaurant and bar from Mr. Talde, opening Monday at the Arlo NoMad? Excellent. By “inauthentic” we mean that they’re doing stuff like Vietnamese beef
It’s always tough to see a beloved karaoke place like Winnie’s close its doors. But we persist. We move forward. We embrace things like Lalito, a quirky California-Mexican spot from a former El Rey chef and an El Rey and Mission Chinese drinksmaster. It’s open now in Chinatown. The quirk aspect really comes with the food (and we’ll get to that). Because
60 degrees in very late November: woohoo! Rain, and rain, and more rain: damn it. The point is, double-edged swords are less cool than single-edged ones. And we consider the following news to have both a handle and a blade. It’s the news of Chinese Tuxedo, an ample Chinatown reclamation for predinner cocktails and Cantonese dinners. It opens tonight
The man who made all the food you enjoyed at ABCs Kitchen and Cocina soon brings you on his own some food you’ll also like, possibly even more. He soon brings it at Loring Place, a modern Greenwich Village stunner full of the locally sourced, seasonal, market-procured things you’re tired of hearing about but never tire of consuming. It should open
And now, a five-sentence history lesson. Back in 1985, a young Danny Meyer opens his very first restaurant, Union Square Cafe—one of the first spots to champion the local-and-seasonal ethos we now know so well. It quickly becomes a New York staple. Meyer proceeds to build quite the restaurant empire with spots like Gramercy Tavern, Shake Shack and
