Newly added this week!
Expect to find familiar dishes with a Fujianese twist, and some totally new dishes that are sure to surprise and delight. The food is bountiful, comforting, and great to share with a crew.
Read more about Nin Hao here.
Gus and Marty’s Williamsburg
Newly added this week!
The menu is all Greek, but there are plenty of subtle surprises. We also love that the kitchen highlights Greek food culture beyond what you might eat during a vacation on Mykonos.

Bonus: Free Range at Double Chicken Please
It’s technically not a “new “spot, but you’ll want to know that the front room at Double Chicken Please has a new look and a new food and drink menu for its walk-ins only front room. Now known as “Free Range,” they’re serving up cocktails and drinks inspired by animated characters ranging from “The Simpsons” and “Ratatouille” to Winnie the Pooh in the cozy front area of one of the city’s most creative cocktail destinations. Our personal favorites? The whisky-based Pocket of Sweet, inspired by Doraemon, and gin-based The Pooh, topped with clarified milk (and also available in a zero-proof version).

Bar Sprezzatura NY Midtown West
It’s a coastal Italian spot by way of our opposite coast in San Francisco. The menu is enormous, with everything from guanciale meatballs, amberjack crudo, and razor clam and red shrimp risotto. The drinks nod to Italy, with plenty of martinis to choose from. And the rooftop views are next level.
Bridges Chinatown
It’s a delightful European bistro from alums of hot spots like The NoMad and Estela, in the former home of Hop Shing in Chinatown. Think comté tarts with chanterelles, grilled king crab with béarnaise, and steamed turbot with rice and clams.
Cora West Village
Head here for an enormous list of wines from primarily North American producers, plus classic small bites like buttered radishes, sunflower pull-apart rolls, chicken liver pâté, and crispy potatoes with dilly beans. It’s in the same home as what used to be Silver Apricot (and from the same team), so you know you’re in good hands.
Ishq East Village
The name (“love” or “passion” in Urdu) says it all: It’s a passion project from chef Vamshi Adi (Gazab) that draws from the culinary traditions of multiple regions from throughout India and blends them with contemporary touches. Expect classic curries and delicately grilled tandoori dishes that are sure to more than satisfy.
Ishq officially opens on Oct. 1.
Malka Dumbo Dumbo
Celebrity chef Eyal Shani (Miznon, Shmoné) has made his way to Dumbo with a second location of Malka, a fully Kosher Mediterranean spot by way of the Upper West Side. They’re serving up dishes like charred beetroot carpaccio, spicy tomato and branzino pasta, and lamb shank with cannellini beans.
BABA Brooklyn
What was once a second outpost of Baba Cool is now simply BABA, your friendly neighborhood wine bar. That means Marseille-inspired snacks to go along with a lovely list of wines and cocktails and their pitch-perfect playlist, ideal for enjoying inside their cozy bar or outside in the charming backyard, if the weather cooperates.
Katabaru Williamsburg
It’s a regional Japanese spot housed in a bright corner space in Williamsburg. Whatever you do, don’t skip the cocktails: They have a few bright and unique choices worth sipping. We’re partial to the Fair Moon Awaits with rum, pineapple, honey, matcha, and white chocolate.
Kellogg’s Diner Williamsburg

Because it’s everything a diner should be: Fun, accessible, with a diverse menu of comforting classics, done with consideration, care, a few cheffy twists, and quality ingredients. Also, who doesn’t love sitting at a diner’s counter?
P.S. Read all about Kellogg’s Diner before you go, here.

Clemente Bar Flatiron
If you — like us — miss the NoMad Library Bar (IYKYK), it’s highly likely this beautiful, intimate cocktail lounge perched atop Eleven Madison Park will more than satisfy those nostalgic yearnings. It’s a collaboration between EMP chef-owner Daniel Humm and contemporary artist Francesco Clemente and, fittingly, it feels like you’re in an artist’s studio. Drinks come from EMP’s beverage director, Sebastian Tollius, so expect classics with a twist, like a Negroni piña colada hybrid. And the menu is fully plant-based: Think tempura fries and an agedashi tofu dog.
Clemente Bar officially opens on Oct. 10. Pro tip: Reservations drop each night at midnight.
Le Bar Penelope Lenox Hill
Gilded cocktail and elegant small bites are what you’ll find at this sleek spot. Pro tip? Try to sit in the live piano lounge if you’re looking for some music to go with your expertly crafted drinks, and order the caviar pizza. Because, why not?
Borgo Flatiron
It’s famed restaurateur Andrew Tarlow’s (Diner, Roman’s, Marlow & Sons, Achilles Heel) first foray into Manhattan, complete with a working wood-burning fireplace, martini cart, backyard courtyard, and plenty of Italian-adjacent dishes in his traditional seasonal style. Do know that the focaccia Borgo and timballo di anelletti are required eating.
Note: Borgo’s first day of service will be Sept. 27.
Serendipity3 Times Square Times Square
For several decades, Serendipity 3 has charmed New Yorkers and visitors alike with their famed frozen hot chocolate in their historic spot on the Upper East Side, and now, you can find them in the very center of it all. But of course, you’re going to order the aforementioned frozen hot chocolate, but don’t sleep on the Times Square exclusive savory Sunday Chicken Dinner Sundae, either.
Riff Raff Club NoMad
This is decidedly not your average hotel bar. At this 39th-floor bar at the Virgin Hotel, you’ll find some seriously breathtaking views to go with the seriously excellent cocktails concocted by the same bartender behind Chicago’s The Aviary and Drawing Room (Charles Joly). Classics anchor the menu, and you certainly won’t want to miss out on the cocktails made with vintage spirits, like a 1980’s Beefeater gin martini or a 1960’s Blood & Sand made with vintage Scotch.
Read more about all the drinks you should try at The Riff Raff Club here.
Rafael Upper East Side
If you love Miriam, a quintessential NYC brunch mainstay in Park Slope and the Upper West Side, you’ll likely adore this all-day spot that celebrates Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavors in creative, thoughtful ways on the Upper East. Think potato latkes topped with labneh and salmon roe for breakfast, corn schnitzel pita sandwiches for lunch, and lamb loin tenderly cooked in a terracotta pot.
Brass & The Tusk Bar Nomad
It’s two restaurants in one, so do book carefully. There’s Brass, a brasserie (get it?) led by the lauded chefs behind Wildair and Bar Contra. Next door is Tusk, a raw bar that’s heavy on the oysters and open until midnight. Pro tip? Head to Brass for dinner and Tusk for a late-night drink afterwards.
Wabi Nori Lower East Side
Choose from handroll sets or go à la carte at Wabi Nori. No matter what you decide, you can count on the fact that it’ll be fresh and lovely. We’re partial to the bay scallop and the unagi, but you really can’t go wrong.
Elephant District Dumbo, Brooklyn
The folks behind 11 Tigers and Em Vietnamese Bistro are behind this vibrant spot where Thai street food and culture takes center stage. Here you’ll find dishes like krapow moo krob with a kick, a special Brooklyn Bridge pad Thai with jumbo prawns, and a comforting khao soi pu nim with soft shell crab served with a dry Northern-style curry.
Third Falcon Fort Greene
Because it’s a dainty, elegant French spot from an Eleven Madison Park alum. The word here is beautiful — everything from the glassware to the food is picture-perfect. Do order the chilled langoustine and the show-stopping cote de veau.
The Corner Store SoHo
It’s from the same team behind see-and-be-seen locale Catch, now with an extra dose of classic stylings. Think dover sole, ribeye, and shrimp cocktail, plus a whole section of the menu devoted to martini service. Cheers.
Briscola Trattoria Crown Heights
If you’ve ever been to LaRina Pastificio & Vino, you’re probably prepared to trust their chef with anything — especially a new-school trattoria like Briscola. Do know that the bomba di riso is required eating. Pro tip? If you’re the last seating of the night, you may get to learn how to play the namesake Italian card game with the staff.
Dilly Dally Prospect Heights
As the name suggests, Dilly Dally is a great choice when you’re tired of stuffy, unfun dining. Here, things are more playful, between the giant meatballs, Kit-Cat clock, and bright red-light fixtures. Plus, the front booth is perfect for a larger group that enjoys curving windows and people watching.
Apartment 5 Lower East Side
You’ll never be bored at this LES cocktail bar. They’ve got everything from fortune tellers and secret rooms to herb gardens and bookshelves stuffed with bright pink volumes. In other words, expect the unexpected.
The Otter SoHo
It’s acclaimed chef Alex Stupak’s (Empellón) answer to the city’s rising demand for seafood bars, complete with an all-day menu and shining raw offerings. And it certainly doesn’t hurt that it’s located on the ground floor of the impeccably chic Manner Hotel, either.
Note: Reservations are available for Sept. 23 and beyond.
Grand Brasserie Midtown Manhattan
Head here for a dose of old New York style, on a truly grand scale. Housed within the historic Grand Central Terminal, Grand Brasserie is truly massive (400 seats!) and open from 5:30 a.m. until 2 a.m. Whether you’re dashing to catch your train or simply in the area, consider it for all the Parisian fare and steamy espresso you could desire.
Experimental Cocktail Club New York
It’s the return of a Parisian import we’ll gladly toast to, where the cocktails are just as the name suggests, and they’ll likely be some of the most memorable you’ve ever tasted. Your favorite classics are back — Kota Ternate included — along with a sizable collection of zero-proof cocktails and some rare French spirits, too. Save room for some gougéres au poivre served with a side of French Bordier butter, too.
Le Coin NYC Meatpacking District
It’s a French bistro meets art gallery — the spot is in partnership with the famed camera company, Leica — serving up towers of highly photogenic fresh seafood, green salads, and glasses of bubbles.
Canto Upper West Side Lincoln Square
Soaring ceilings, lovely local mural art on the walls, sleek, contemporary design, and full-length windows opening onto Broadway set the scene for the unpretentious and outstanding Italian fare at this neighborhood gem.
Yong Chuan LES
Head here for perfectly steamed baskets of brightly colored dim sum, like crystal shrimp and crab dumplings and crispy pastries in the shape of swans. Don’t forget an order of the lobster porridge but be sure to bring friends — that dish alone can serve up to six.
