New York’s Newest Restaurant Openings, Now on Resy

Dell’anima, one of the city’s most beloved Italian restaurants, is back where it belongs after a relocation uptown, proving it could thrive anywhere in the city. An early pioneer of ricotta toast and rustic decor when it first opened, they remain faithful to their roots, but aren’t afraid to innovate, either. Don’t skip the Peekytoe crab garganelli, and do grab a seat at the bar.

It’s a cheeky natural wine bar in the East Village from the same team behind Moonflower, serving up excellent small plates and pours. Go for the tuna tartare, served with French fries or the smashed cucumber salad. Bonus: Their logo is one of the cutest in the city. Tell it we say pspsps.

We thought we’d never recover when M. Wells closed last year, but luckily for us they’ve been blessing our city with residencies and pop-ups since to ease our broken hearts. The latest is at On The 7 wine bar in their old home neighborhood of LIC. Open on Sundays and Mondays, they’re serving a rotating menu of dishes like foie gras-stuffed duck, shrimp cocktail, and their wedge salad.

What was once 929, a sleek ode to Cantonese and Mandarin pop memorabilia with themed cocktails and dishes to match, is now 56709, where Japanese City pop takes hold. Immerse yourself in those aforementioned vibes with delicious small bites and standout cocktails while you jam out to the sweet, sweet sounds of vinyl and CDs.

Wherever there’s a wood grill, we’re never far behind. At Panca, they use it to cook up South American and Mediterranean fare like slow-roasted chicken, ribeye steaks, and grilled broccolini alongside ceviche and empanadas.

It’s the wine bar sibling to chef Jonathan Waxman’s famed Barbuto, which also happens to be its neighbor. Head here for a more casual, but still exceedingly delicious, experience, with dishes like tuna tartare, agnolotti, and steak with romesco. (You’ll have to head next door for that roast chicken, still). Don’t skip any of the 30 wines by the glass, either.

Sitting beautifully inside the Marlton Hotel, this very handsome brasserie has a chic menu that’s got all your favorites. And in the world of hotel dining, it also feels like a proper escape and cozy respite from the rest of the city.

Champagne? Check. Disco? Check. Smashburgers, chicken sandwiches, and fries? Triple check. If you need us, we’ll be here for the foreseeable future. Do note that their spot is mainly table-free, but your Resy will grant you a standing high-top in the back, all the better for snacking on your bounty.

Restaurants that stay open daily until 4 a.m. are few and far between these days. Enter Mira. Here, you can enjoy some hookah while you enjoy truffle fries and grilled branzino until the wee hours of the morning.

Head here for an upscale-casual hookah spot, complete with plush velvet banquets and a dining room that takes reservations until late. Do note that they have a dress code: No flip-flops, sweatpants, or tank tops allowed.

We’d give up a lot for a good clams oreganata, but luckily all we really have to do is head to Altamiranos. It’s a classic Italian spot with a suitably Italian wine list to match — you know what to do.

There’s no more perfect Midtown summer collab than that between Pebble Bar and Jupiter, taking place at the iconic rink inside Rockefeller Plaza. Think refreshing spritzes galore, paired with exceptionally good Italian fare.

Note: Pebble Bar at The Rink opens on May 30.

Named for the Japanese artist who once resided at the famous Hotel Chelsea, this intimate subterranean spot excels in the art of sushi, led by former Matsuri chef Tadashi Ono.

Union Square’s Pasta Eater ventures uptown for this second location, and we couldn’t be happier. Here, the fare is more grab ‘n’ go — as the name suggests — but you’ll still get the same freshly made pastas, salads, and bruschetta.

It’s the first New York outpost of a global restaurant group known for its innovative takes on Indian cuisine. In TriBeCa, there are a few NYC-exclusive dishes, like goat cheese chicken tikka and keema pie, both of which should be on your table.

It’s Georgian fare in the heart of Midtown, complete with a steal of a pre-fixe lunch deal for just $35. Order the khinkali and khachapuri, of course, plus whatever else your server recommends.

It’s the expansion of a Staten Island omakase mainstay, bringing the same dedicated attention to freshness and quality that you know and love. In Little Neck, they also boast a robata grill, serving up fire-kissed meat, seafood, and veggies grilled over open charcoal.

The New York GOAT (see what we did there?) behind Freemans and Ray’s Hometown Bar heads upstate with this all-day café where they’re serving up Mediterranean-inspired fare in a relaxed, cozy dining room that’s sure to become your next local haunt.

Bandits Diner & Dive is dead, long live Bandits Burger & Dive. The West Village spot has transformed into a classic burger joint, complete with late-night hours and a Monday happy meal (burger, fries, martini) for just $25. The menu is short and to the point, but you know what to do — get the burger.

The vibes at The Morgan feel distinctly country club, with leather chairs and supremely low lighting taking center stage. Lean into this feeling by ordering the shrimp cocktail and their house burger. Pro tip: Ask to sit on the patio, which is lovely, if the weather is nice.
