3/BEMELMANS BAR
4/BRODO
5/COSME
6/UPLAND

1/SHUKO Returning
Because marks out of the gate for Nick Kim and Jimmy Lau’s Neta sequel couldn’t be higher. Is now ranking To the Gills packed. // Union Square. Reservations are best gotten right now by calling (212) 228-6088.

2/TIJUANA PICNIC Debut
Because Jon Neidich, Jean-Marc Houmard, and Rob McKinley are hit makers. The atmosphere-first DNA of Indochine, Acme and Surf Lodge are all here. The menu is light for Mexican. Gordita and vegetariano tacos are a good place to start. // Lower East Side. Opens tomorrow. Call for 212-219-2000 for reservations.

3/BEMELMANS BAR Debut
Because the Royals remind, ’tis the season for a Manhattan. // Upper East Side. First-come-first-serve.

4/BRODO Returning
Because it’s ‘the world’s first comfort food.’ Couldn’t possibly be more straightforward. In brodo god Marco Canora we trust. // East Village. Walk-up window.

5/COSME 6 Weeks Running
Because. // Flatiron. Hit reply to request a reservation. Front room, with limited menu, is first-come-first-serve.

6/UPLAND 6
Because. // Park South. Hit reply to request a reservation.

7/SURPRISE RESY PROTIP
There’s a secret burger on the menu at Alder and it’s tremendous.
