Want to know the latest — and greatest — restaurant and bar openings in New York? You’re in luck.
From a new steakhouse from chef Daniel Boulud to a new spot that melds the best of Florentine and Asian culinary traditions, we’ve got you covered with this continuously updated list of hot new debuts.
And if you’re seeking out some beloved New York spots that are now bookable on Resy, we’ve got you covered here.
On the heels of Ciccio Bar & Alimentari, beloved in the West Village for more than a decade, comes Ciccio Cincin, a Florentine- and Asian-influenced restaurant from the same team. Expect dishes that meld the two culinary traditions, like jiaoazi al cinghiale, or wild boar dumplings, and housemade pappardelle with hoisin duck ragù.
It’s classic American-style steakhouse meets French culinary tradition from chef extraordinaire Daniel Boulud, complete with meat flown in from Japan and the Midwest. The French half of this equation means that one and all of the sauces are required eating.
Note: La Tete d’Or opens on Nov. 19.
Upscale but unpretentious, Kiko serves familiar dishes and classic cocktails made special by its owners’ eclectic global influences and thoughtful ingredient sourcing. The cocktails utilize many of the same flavors as the food, making them perfect for pairing: Don’t sleep on the thrice-fried chicken wing and the margarita.
Note: Kiko opens on Nov. 12. Read more about it here.
The front room at Double Chicken Please has a new look and a new food and drink menu where 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).
It’s the first solo project of practiced chef Tim Meyers, previously of Eleven Madison Park, Blanca, and Roberta’s, inspired by his childhood and a love of the great outdoors. Think butternut squash “rillettes” with littleneck clams, pork and pistachio terrine, and eggplant tortellini with charred cinnamon crema.
Head here for dinner and a show … or a show with dinner? At Crazy Pizza, pizzaiolos spin enormous rounds of pie dough above their heads right in front of you. The spot boasts tons of locations across the world, but this marks the very first stateside outpost.
Expect an 18-course omakase menu (under $200, too) from a practiced team of skilled sushi chefs. Expect to eat lots of fresh fish, flown directly from Japan, at this sleek, modern tasting counter.
As the name suggests, this spot is a mix of French and Basque cuisines, and it also just so happens to be entirely vegan and kosher. Housed right in the heart of Union Square, they’re serving up dishes like faux gras made with smoked lentils and white wine-poached apples; escargot with wood ear mushrooms; and a Basque burnt cheesecake with wild berry lavender jam.
What was once Sel et Poivre is now home to another French bistro from the same team behind Soho’s Maison Close. Here, the vibes are light and carefree, much like the food.
It’s a New England-style restaurant from a former Claud chef and the former beverage director of Momofuku Ko … need we say more? Expect apple cider doughnuts, Cape Codders, and plenty of fresh seafood.

SSAW is the first stateside solo project of a chef with a long history in Japan’s Michelin-starred kitchens, Yusuke Fukuzaki. The tasting menu is inspired by the four seasons — hence the name — complemented by a truly stellar list of sakes.
It’s the caviar and cocktails bar above Heroes, their sister wine bar and restaurant, both from the expert nightlife team behind Tokyo Record Bar. Expect lots of luxurious touches, from a roving caviar cart and elevated riffs on classic drinks, to updated bar snacks.

It’s an Argentine-inspired spot in Gowanus serving up dishes like empanadas, a hefty portion of parrillada for two, and a long list of chicken Milanese varieties. You might know their sister restaurant, Estancia 460, in Tribeca, and here you can expect the same quality and innovation.
Because this is Indian fare served in a beautiful, breathtaking setting that you’ve likely not experienced before. Chef Chetan Shetty, formerly of D.C.’s Michelin-starred Rania, puts forth a menu of thoughtful, creative dishes you won’t soon forget. Pro tip: Don’t sleep on the wines or cocktails, either.

If you’re looking for a smart, fun meal in Hell’s Kitchen, look no further. At Moonlight, the menu lists dishes like “steak volcano,” “the flying smash burger,” and “crackling shrimps,” all of which we’d be happy to try immediately, thank you.
This is the namesake restaurant from the storied and critically acclaimed chef César Ramirez. You’ll find plenty to love on the 13-course tasting menu, overflowing with unique specialty ingredients and fresh, innovative interpretations. And yes, rejoice: His famous uni toast is still on the menu.
It’s a sophisticated, low-lit spot with lots of leather and wood, perfect for making you feel like a master of the universe, wheeling and dealing over martinis. Hudson Club is meant to feel like a members-only bar with one important distinction — no membership required.
It’s the second iteration of a Brooklyn bar classic, now on historic (and decidedly not dry) Stone Street in Manhattan. Expect your usual bar fare, plus a few special bites like Charleston-style charbroiled oysters with shallot butter, crab and tomato water bucatini, and a burger served with Old Bay fries.
It’s a Mediterranean wine bar from a trio of besties who happen to be longtime industry veterans. Expect plenty of selections by the glass (and bottle, of course), plus tapas like marinated feta, serrano ham, a pancetta BLT, and Basque cheesecake.
Captained by “Top Chef” winner Danny Garcia, Time and Tide delivers on a restaurant vision Garcia built with his late mentor, chef Jamal James Kent, who was known for his two-Michelin starred Saga and critically acclaimed restaurant, Crown Shy. Expect a pitch-perfect steakhouse — but for seafood — servers donning sneakers, and a stunning large-scale light installation that mirrors the sunset.

Go full hygge at this extremely cozy, all-day Clinton Hill outpost of one of our favorite Danish restaurants in the city. The baked goods are obviously a must, but you don’t want to miss out on the Pariser toast for breakfast or the sesame schnitzel at dinner.
It’s a gallerist-owned spot with a focus on sustainability and seasonality, complete with an in-house composter and a commitment to local producers, where the food is as equally stunning as the art inside it. Manuela comes to New York by way of Los Angeles, with an all-star team of industry vets.

What was formerly the Michelin-starred Al Coro (and Del Posto before that) is now Crane Club, a sprawling, beautiful space where the menu spotlights wood-fired dishes and boasts a bottle list that tops 1,000. Al Coro and Del Posto chef Melissa Rodriguez is at the helm here, so you know you’re in good hands.
Note: Crane Club officially opens in November.
The same creatives behind some of lower Manhattan’s hottest nightlife hits (Tokyo Record Bar, Niche Niche, and Air’s Champagne Parlor) have put together a dream of a townhouse setting where you can drink and dine to your heart’s content. Expect plenty of wines you’ll be hard pressed to find anywhere else, and some pitch-perfect fine dining, served family style.

It’s a design-y day-to-night bar with everything from coffee to natural wine from the same team behind The Musket Room and Raf’s. Every detail was thought out here, from the tableware to the art on the walls, which makes sense given Quarters got its start as (and still is) a homeware and concept store.
Dear Irving is a gilded, opulent bar with trappings worthy of old New York royalty. There’s a greenery-filled rooftop, velvet banquettes, and a gold-ceilinged bar where you can drink your bespoke cocktail and munch demurely on mixed nuts.
It’s a New York neobistro with a decidedly Australian accent, helmed by a chef with some serious fine-dining credentials, that still manages to be approachable and inviting. Whether you opt for the tasting menu or go à la carte, you can’t go wrong.

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.
