Want to know the latest — and greatest — restaurant and bar openings in New York? You’re in luck.
From a lush new rooftop bar in Williamsburg to a thrilling Thai spot in Hudson Yards, we’ve got you covered with this continuously updated list of hot new debuts. Plus, did you know Undercote, the cocktail bar underneath Cote (get it?) takes reservations now? You’re welcome.
And if you’re seeking out some beloved New York spots that are now bookable on Resy, we’ve got you covered here.
One of Queens’ most accomplished Thai chefs now has a place of his own in Manhattan — Hudson Yards to be exact — named for the Bangkok neighborhood where he grew up and wholly inspired by the town’s train station. Come here for Thai specialties you likely won’t see anywhere else (we’re partial to the roasted bone marrow with gor lae sauce) and come hungry.
Head here for a menu of Szechuan dishes from the practiced hands of chef Peter He, previously of the formerly Michelin-starred Café China. Do know that the Mr. and Mrs. Smith with sliced beef, tripe, and chile peanut sauce, is required eating. Plus, if you can score a seat on this lush rooftop, you’ll be all the better for it.
It’s a sleek Koreatown bar and restaurant influenced by Korean coastal fare. Think cocktails imbued with the flavors of Korean pear and gochujang accented with notes of bergamot and guava, or strawberry and hallabong with touches of basil and vanilla. Expect plenty of fresh seafood, too.
Indian comfort food is on full display at this FiDi spot where you’ll find everything from excellent fish amritsari and chana masala to tandoori salmon and goat curry. P.S. Don’t sleep on their weekday happy hour drink specials from 3 to 7 p.m.
It’s an Afro Caribbean spot with lofty takes on the classics that still pack in all the flavor. Don’t skip the craft cocktails, either; the signature tropical punch is worthy of an order. And do note that the dress code is “casual elegant,” so plan accordingly.
Tucked underneath the Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse Cote, Undercote is a dark, tropical-feeling bar with a special menu exclusive from upstairs. Expect expertly crafted cocktails (try the Blue Glacier, trust us), snacks, and grilled meats served à la carte.
Just ask your most food-obsessed friend where they’d most like to go on vacation, and chances are Mexico City tops the list. Comal, inspired by that very locale, with its diversity of flavors and culinary influences, serves up creative and inventive dishes from a team of fine-dining vets. Think lengua skewers, a smoked half chicken, and a chocolate and guajillo torta for dessert.

It’s an urbane Windsor Terrace wine bar, complete with spoken word poetry nights, a long list of Spanish and Middle Eastern cheeses, and a speakeasy-inspired interior. The cocktails made with the Ethiopian wine Tej are particularly worthy of your attention.
It’s a cozy, glowing Spanish wine and tapas bar from a Casa Mono vet with more than 100 Spanish wines and a tight menu of satisfying small plates, from pulpo a la gallega and aji amarillo scallops to pork chuleta with hazelnut-raisin jam and hand-carved jamón.
Bushwick’s reigning pizzeria of leavened sourdough pies has brought its talents to Manhattan. This location brings all the immaculate vibes of the original, plus even more space, suppli, and specials galore.

Where better to enjoy a tomato and parm pie than on the Brooklyn Heights waterfront? Fini Pizza, originally of Williamsburg and now stretching as far as Brooklyn Heights and Amagansett, has brought an outdoor patio to a prime location near Brooklyn Bridge Park, complete with a expanded menu that includes chicken piccata, steak, and fried calamari.
It’s a Turkish spot with an all-day menu, serving mezze and mains in their welcoming West Village locale. Did we mention the cocktail program? Expect crafts made with ingredients like cardamom syrup, rose strawberry gin, and Turkish tobacco bitters.
Come ready to take photos. This spot, made to be a seafood restaurant, showcases feats of interior design like Sailor Jerry-inspired bar lights, a lush grotto seating area, enormous mermaid wall art, and ship-inspired private dining room. Order whatever was caught fresh that day, plus caviar bumps, and a salt-baked whole fish.
Margaritas with tiny rubber duckies floating in them, matcha mocktails, and a mini art-market tucked behind the bar? Salud knows what it’s doing, and as a result, you’ll never be bored.
It’s one of the world’s most critically acclaimed bars — for good reason. Attaboy is cozy, low-lit, and menu-free, which means you describe what you’d like to their bartenders, and they take it from there. We’ve never once been disappointed. P.S. This is the place to order a Penicillin, Paper Plane, and the Greenpoint; each of those cocktails was invented here.
It’s a seafood-centered spot in a prime corner Bed-Stuy locale, serving up delicacies like smoked oyster dip, truffled croque monsieur, and scallop carpaccio, plus a curated list of natural wines that are worth a trip on their own. Pro tip: They’ve got one of the few remaining happy hours in town that still serves $1 oysters, so plan accordingly.
Because of a fire that’s closed their original Flatiron location, Massara is now headed East to Park Avenue for a limited-time residency in the space that was once home to Time and Tide. They’ll still have many of the classic dishes they’ve become known for, like the “If Pasta Fredda was Eaten in Amalfi,” plus a new focus on their crudo program just in time for summer.
It’s a LES representative of the French fine-dining renaissance, led by an extremely heavy hitter. Chef Richard Farnabe, formerly of Mercer Kitchen and Jean-Georges, is serving dishes like mushroom mille-feuille, duck, and more in this beautiful art-lined, candlelit spot.
Family recipes from Northern Mexico form the foundation of this vibrant Mexican steakhouse where you can enjoy everything from ribeye tacos and grilled octopus with a chipotle dressing to a roasted beet tostada and a hefty tomahawk. Don’t sleep on the Mezcal list, or the agua frescas, too.
It’s Baz Luhrmann’s (yes, the acclaimed director of “Romeo + Juliet,” “Moulin Rouge,” and “The Great Gatsby”) cocktail bar that’s Madonna-approved, comes with a fictional and slightly medieval backstory, and serves English-Australian small bites from the chef and team behind Le Dive and The Nines. Dress to be seen.
The Foyer is the next best thing to being a member of the exclusive NY Vintners club. Open to the public, it’s an ideal place to enjoy a glass of whatever (truly, whatever) your server recommends from their vast and excellent cellar.
We trust the team behind Grand Banks, Drift In, and Pilot with setting the ideal outdoor scene, and Sailor’s Choice does not disappoint. Expect coastal seafaring vibes, complete with tropical frozen cocktails and bites like crab dip and caviar tater tots. Ahoy, indeed.
Affordable omakase, how we adore you. At Omi, their lunch menu is $69 per person, and for dinner, $109 per person, a certified deal by any metric. You’ll enjoy a 10- or 15-course tasting of fresh nigiri, served at their main counter or in one of their five private tatami rooms.
Head here for late-night (open until midnight on weekdays, 2 a.m. on weekends) bites and bottle service with Caribbean flair. Think dishes like lamb and shrimp surf and turf, jerk chicken and jollof, and salmon sliders served in a low-lit, clubby atmosphere.
It’s an all-you-can-eat Japanese-style barbecue with truly premium ingredients, from their signature dry-aged beef and sake-steamed clams to wheat-fed pork. So, what are you waiting for?
It’s an excellent spot to catch whatever game suits your fancy. A standard sports bar this is not, however. There’s caviar, bucatini and clams, and confit chicken wings on the menu.
We’re always happy to see Indian small plates on the menu, especially when the list is as long and loaded as it is here. Go for the buttered pao with slow-cooked minced lamb, or the raw mango-pickled mushrooms to pair with one of your craft cocktails, but do know that you can’t go wrong with any of the dishes on their list.
Studio 54 might be long gone, but its spirit lives on in this Hell’s Kitchen cocktail bar that nods to one of the nightclub’s most notable luminaries. Do expect a soundtrack heavy on ’70’s disco, glammed out cocktails, and shareable small plates.
It’s the lovely cafe inside The Frick Collection where you can linger for a bit before, after, or during your exploration of the museum’s masterpieces. Expect seasonal dishes, excellent pastries, great wines, and thoughtfully crafted cocktails. Pro tip: Do check out the stunning mural from artist Darren Waterston inside the dining room. You must be a museum ticket holder or member to make a reservation.
Flynn McGarry of Gem Home is giving you a sneak peek of his forthcoming restaurant with a summertime pop-up at Brookhaven’s Mama Farm. Here you can enjoy a five-course meal in their lush garden, with a special tour from McGarry himself, and the option to stay the night at the B&B.
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.

Should you find yourself near Flaitron hungry for hummus, Fattoush, wood-grilled vegetables, and perfectly grilled fish, head directly to this lovely corner spot from the same team behind La Pecora Bianca – Nomad. For Mama Mezze, they’ve teamed up with none other than Balaboosta chef Einat Admony to develop a menu of crowd-pleasing hits with a unique twist. P.S. Do order yourself an Espresso Tahini. Cheers.
