Ok imagine Tav/durge human who romance Minthara, power imbalance will be insane. Minthara fuck the shit out of her favorite human while degrading her condescendingly for being the short-live young human.
— RED Anon
Welcome new anon <3
God I have so much to say about this, my human kink is insane.
As durge, you're a weapon, a terrifying killer that was made for the sole purpose of murder. The trail of gore and guts you leave behind is unlike anything she has ever seen before. You're murder itself. She found herself staring in awe at the heights of sadism your mind could reach when dealing with your enemies. She worships you more than she ever worshipped Orin back when she was brainwashed.
And yet, you're a mere human.
A mayfly, a short-lived spec of dust. She could live your lifespan ten times or more.
Your body is weak, fragile. Your skin is too soft for a murderer, too smooth, unlike the riges and sharp edges of the devils you've buried under your fragile feet.
You're fascinated very easily, too curious and bold. The traits that seemed prevlent in all of humanity.
And you're just so...human. the way you put importance on small things, the way you easily get attached to mundane objects. Why do your blades even need a name? They're blades!
For something so meek and short lived, you're an endless hurricane of emotions. Constantly changing and shifting. Your highs and lows would make other speices look like birck walls in comparison.
And that ircking charm of humanity in you. That intoxicating smell. That endless chatter. You do 2 or 3 things at once while maintaining a conversation with her.
The brightest star she has ever seen, the wildest of fires she has witnessed condensed into a single fragile being that will perish before a century passed by.
Burning bright and fast, drow people had a hushed respect for humans at how much they can achieve in such a short lifespan. At how fast they mature in merely 18 years while their own pathetic faerie reltives took a century to be considered an adult.
She was getting addicted to your fire and in a way, her life will always be much dimmer after your departure. You made sure to leave your mark on everything you've touched, to prove that you were there.
That you existed, you were a human being with thoughts and feelings, and you made an impact. Leaving your fingerprints glowing like ambers against the pages of history.
She learns to appreciate you more whenever she is reminded of that grim reality.

Spectacular agate
Microcrystalline silica manifests as a plethora of varied and beautiful forms, in almost every colour of the rainbow (though those really bright blues, greens and pinks are dyed), with some examples noted worldwide among rock collectors, such as the lovely bright Fairburn pieces (see https://bit.ly/2refaq2). Other examples include the jaspers, where rusty red and yellow iron bearing muds have been incorporated into the felted microcrystalline structure (see https://bit.ly/2KklhQK for a beautiful example hand crafted into an axe by our Neanderthalian cousins).
Here we have an 11x7cm piece that I saw labelled by the owner as Fire Hypnosis Agate, which came from Soledade in the Brazilian province of Rio Grande de Sul. While not a mining area in itself, it is the city where much of the south's amethyst and agate are gathered, processed and prepared for export, including much of the material from neighbouring Uruguay (see https://bit.ly/2IjsGPl for info on Artigas amethyst).
The town features some of the globe's largest mineral showrooms, and it sounds like a serious danger to my wallet should I ever make it for a visit, particularly since my taste runs to the weird and unusual (and often unfortunately expensive) in rocks. Many of the slabs, slices and geodes in your collections that you see in shows and local crystal shops have passed through this town, which interfaces between myriads of small miners and the global trade.

Project Information
Purpose
The purpose of this project was to develop and test a drug therapy on Drosophila melanogaster that accelerates lysosomal function, improves mitochondrial integrity, and provides neuroprotective effects using the drugs Ambroxol and Ruthenium Red against Parkinson’s Disease. The treatment most often used today is called L-dopa therapy, where levadopa, a dopamine precursor is introduced into the body and the brain converts it into dopamine. While it temporarily causes the symptoms to cease, on the long-term, it loses effectiveness and does nothing to prevent the dopaminergic neuronal degradation.
There is an urgent need to produce a therapy for Parkinson’s Disease, especially now. Due to the increasing incidence of pesticide use in many countries around the world, Parkinson’s disease is becoming frightfully commonplace, with substances like rotenone and paraquat being simultaneously used to develop Parkinsonian phenotypes in the lab and used to grow food at the farm. Pesticide use has been shown to be increasing over the decades and so has the incidence of Parkinson's. As the results when tested on fruit flies have shown, this combinatory therapy can potentially aid humans with Parkinson’s disease.

Easy Sangria Recipe
So now that the hot weather is coming, I’m gonna share the recipe to make Sangria. Why? Well, because it’s nice and refreshing, and a good way to get rid of that wine bottle that didn’t look that bad but in fact tastes like vermin poison.
So, what will we need? 
A pot (for mixing the ingredients. Could be done in a serving jar as well, but mixing in a pot is easier, and you get to feel like a witch/wizard).
A bottle or birck of red wine.
Half bottle of lemon soda (like Fanta or similar).
A quarter bottle of brandy.
A quarter bottle of another liquor (whatever you have lying around at home is fine: gin, vodka, rum, whatever).
A cup of sugar (or half of it, depending how big is your cup and how sweet you want it to be).
Fruits of your choosing. (apple and peach are kind of staples, but pear or orange or strawberries can also work).
Ice cubes.
How to do it:
Pour the wine into the pot. Good.
Now pour the brandy and whatever other liquor you’re using.
Add the lemon soda and the sugar to the mix and stirr until the sugar dissolves.
This is the part that requires “work”: dice the fruit (peeling it is optional).
Add the fruit to the potion mix.
Let it cool on the fridge for about 2 hours, give or take. This way the fruit will leave its taste on the drink and viceversa.
Remeber to not add the ice until you’re going to drink it or it will get watered! Well, that was it. The quantities are not perfectly measured, I know, so tinker with it until you fing the balance you prefer. Enjoy!

NYC’s New Restaurant Openings (2) added to Google Docs
NYC’s New Restaurant Openings (2)
If you tried to keep track of every brand new restaurant in New York City, you might go a little bit crazy. So just read this list instead. These are the new restaurant openings that seem like they have the most potential - although keep in mind, for the ones we haven’t tried, we make no promises. Go forth and be a pioneer.
We’ll be regularly updating this post. Once we check out a great spot, we’ll add a note so you know where to read more about it - in our Hit List and Bar Hit List.
february  Alex Muccilli Thai Diner $$$$ 186 Mott St
Lower Manhattan has a cool new diner to get excited about, this time from the people behind Uncle Boons. Thai Diner is currently serving Thai breakfast and lunch until 4pm every day, including a dish with five nouns we like a lot: Thai tea babka French Toast. No need to freak out if you don’t spend daytime hours near Nolita - they’re extending dinner hours soon.
 Don Freeman American Bar $ $ $ $ American  in  West Village $$$$ 33 Greenwich Ave Not
Rated
Yet
This week in bad SEO news, there’s a new restaurant from the team behind Cafe Clover called American Bar. While it might be hard to find on Google, you will be able to find things like jumbo shrimp cocktails, wedge salads, and meatloaf for two if you come here.
Dolly Varden $$$$ 302 W 51st Street
Language is hard. For example, Dolly Varden is a type of trout, the name of a character in a Dickens novel, and now it’s also a two-story bar in Hell’s Kitchen. So next time you’re name dropping this new jazz age-themed cocktail bar, make sure you clarify.
 Hakata Zen Hakata Zen $$$$ 31 St Marks Place
After a 12-month closure, this Japanese hot pot place just reopened on St. Marks. Hakata Zen specializes in motsunabe hot pot - a red or white broth typically made with intestine, chives, cabbage, and tofu.
 Doma Doma $$$$ 120 1st Ave
Another East Village spot that stays open late is Doma, which is from the same people behind Tang Hotpot on the LES and The Tang on the UWS. This restaurant serves a mix of traditional Korean food (like seafood pancakes and bibimbap) and not-so-traditional Korean food (like kimchi arancini and gochujang octopus with grits).
Money Cat Vietnamese Kitchen $$$$ 554 Wilson Ave
Money Cat is a Vietnamese restaurant in Bushwick where you can order things like summer rolls, brisket pho, and banh mi filled with Chinese sausage. The space looks about as casual as a cafeteria - mostly because they have the same picnic tables you sat in during high school lunch period.
Top Thai $$$$ 55 Carmine St
The West Village has very few casual Thai spots in the neighborhood. So if you live in the area, take note of Top Thai Vintage on Carmine Street.
Factory Tamal East Village $$$$ 63 E. 4th Street
If you spend time on the LES, it’s possible you’ve been meaning to check out Factory Tamal for a while now (or you go every other Sunday morning for breakfast sandwiches and tamales). Consider their new second location in the East Village a further incentive to get involved with a chipotle chicken tamale.
Indika House $$$$ 943 Broadway
Indika House is a casual Indian restaurant in Bed-Stuy, right across from the Myrtle Broadway subway station. The menu seems pretty straightforward (full of dishes like biryani and vindaloo), and we can only describe the walls as having a similar aesthetic to the Rainbow Road level in Mario Kart.
Citizens Of Soho $$$$ 201 Lafayette Street
Did anyone ask for a new place to get charred broccoli bowls and lattes in Soho? Likely not. But if you work or live in the area, this location of an Australian cafe chain is here for your light meal needs.
 & Sons & Sons $$$$ 447 Rogers Ave
If you’re into wine and charcuterie, you’ll probably want to become a regular at this new Prospect Lefferts Gardens wine bar, which specializes in American country ham. It’s owned by an ex-sommelier from The French Laundry in Napa Valley who also used to run the beverage program at Per Se, which is to say, you should expect to learn more about great wine (and ham) in this tiny, brick-walled room on Rogers Ave. Just keep in mind that, for now, & Sons is only open Thursday through Sunday.
 Raffaele De Vivo Bar Camillo $$$$ 333 Tompkins Ave
The people behind Locanda Vini & Olii and Camillo, two solid neighborhood Italian spots in Brooklyn, just opened a third spot in Bed-Stuy where you can drink negronis and eat Italian food. They specialize in Roman-style pizza called pinsas, but you can also order things like baked cacio e pepe and beef short ribs here.
Dashi Brooklyn $$$$ 119 Ingraham St.
Eat outdoors at Smorgasburg all winter if you want to. But first, you should know that the team behind a couple of regular vendors at the weekly food fair (including a fried chicken truck and a pho bar), just opened an all-day Japanese comfort food place in East Williamsburg. To no one’s surprise, you can find a fried chicken sandwich and pho on the menu, but there are also some donburi rice dishes, sandwiches, and avocado toast served with an optional $6 slab of hanger steak.
 Rome To Brooklyn Pizza $$$$ 755 Grand St
There’s a new slice shop in Williamsburg where you can get toppings like blueberry and pancetta, or pear and gorgonzola on your pizza. And if you’re looking for a sit-down lunch or dinner, you can grab a seat at one of the two-tops inside and think about adding a rosemary focaccia panini, hellboy panzerotti (essentially a fried calzone from the heel of Italy’s boot), or a beef-filled arancini to your order.
Strings Ramen $$$$ 188 2nd Ave
Our good friends at The Infatuation Chicago love Strings Ramen, so we’re happy to see that the first NYC location of this counter-service spot just opened in the East Village. In this small dining room on 2nd Avenue, you can get things like duck ramen in pork bone broth for lunch, dinner, or just before you go into hibernation for the next three months.
 Evan Sung Da Toscano $$$$ 24 Minetta Ln
The Italian spot Perla in Greenwich Village was an all-time Infatuation favorite until it tragically closed several years ago. Now, the team behind Perla is back in the same space with their new restaurant Da Toscano. You can expect to eat unusual dishes like octopus carpaccio, veal parm, and a giant porchetta chop wrapped in pork belly here.
 Quality Bistro $$$$ 120 W 55th St
The people behind Quality Eats, a chain of steakhouses trapped in cool restaurant bodies, just opened a huge new French brasserie in Midtown. Quality Bistro has a few luxury hotel lobby-sized dining rooms where you can eat steak frites and stare at hundreds of framed bird photos lining the walls.
Taqueria Al Pastor $$$$ 128 Wyckoff Ave
Taqueria Al Pastor is a new counter-service Mexican spot with a meat spit in the kitchen, which makes us confident that they’re serious about tacos. This small Bushwick restaurant has only a few counter seats, but the al pastor tacos served with hand-made corn or flour tortillas seem good enough to eat standing up.
 Jose Solis Paisley $$$$ 429 Greenwich St
If you’re looking for a new place to have a business meal in Tribeca, this new upscale Indian restaurant could be a solid option. The chef at Paisley used to cook at Tamarind, another upscale Indian spot that’s just a few blocks away, where we like the fish curry and paneer lababdar.
 Industry City Wakuwaku $$$$ 269 36th Street
Sunset Park is one of NYC’s great food neighborhoods, and some of its best dishes can be found in the food court at Industry City. Wakuwaku is a new sit-down, yakitori in Industry City’s Japan Village, and if you’re in the mood for pork katsu or unagi eel around lunchtime, this is where you’ll find them. Just keep in mind that for now, it’s only open from noon to 3pm, Wednesday through Sunday.
Masti Indian Grill $$$$ 184 Havemeyer St
There’s a new neighborhood Indian spot in Williamsburg that seems like a promising option to keep in mind the next time you’re craving goat curry or lamb biriyani in the area.
 Little Ways Little Ways $$$$ 343 W Broadway
Little Ways is another ’70s-inspired cocktail bar from the people behind Flower Shop. This new place also has two floors, with a full restaurant on the first, and a cocktail lounge on the second where you can get natural wine or something made with beet-infused mezcal, and more mid-century modern furniture than you can find in any warehouse in Red Hook.
January Bar Goto Niban $$$$ 474 Bergen St
The team behind Bar Goto, where we go when we want to pretend we’re at a tiny bar in Tokyo for a few hours, just opened a new, slightly-larger bar in Park Slope. The new location has different bar snacks and Japanese-inspired cocktails than the original, but you can get their incredible miso wings in this dimly-lit, wood-covered room near Barclays Center.
 Signe Birck Kissaki $$$$ 319 Bowery
Kissaki is an upscale omakase sushi spot with a colorful space on Bowery. For $160, you get 12 pieces of nigiri plus four small plates.
Two Wheels $$$$ 426 Amsterdam Ave
Two Wheels is a new counter-service Vietnamese spot on the UWS where you can get pho, banh mi, and vermicelli noodles in a white brick-walled room that looks like a mini Sweetgreen. It’s open from 11am to 10pm and (unlike when you add too many premium toppings at its salad chain doppelgänger), nothing on the menu costs more than $15.
Sushi Ishikawa West $$$$ 207 W 80th St
The UES location of Sushi Ishikawa made it into our guide to Where To Eat Omakase Sushi In NYC For Under $100, but the second location from the same team is slightly more expensive. This new UWS Japanese spot offers a 15-piece sushi omakase option for $125 or a 16-piece option for $155.
La Tavola Della Nonna $$$$ 208 W 70th St
If you’re heading to a show at Lincoln Center soon and want to make dinner plans somewhere nearby, consider trying La Tavola Della Nonna. This brick-walled Italian spot on the Upper West Side looks like it could be a solid option for pizza and pasta in the neighborhood.
 Kettl Kettl Tea $$$$ 348 Bowery
If the green tea packets from your office cabinet aren’t keeping you awake anymore, you can get the strong stuff, straight from Japan, at Kettl in Noho. This is the second NYC tea shop from the Kettl team, but it’s the first to offer things like a four-course green tea tasting, tea-based gelato, and hot tea from a to-go window on Bowery.
 Dan Ahn Jua $ $ $ $ Korean  in  Flatiron $$$$ 36 E 22nd St Not
Rated
Yet
Jua is a new upscale Korean spot in Flatiron that offers a nine-course tasting menu for $95. It’s from the team behind Her Name is Han and Atomix which leads us to believe that the BBQ short rib and truffle jjajangmen will be well worth the money.
Somtum Der $$$$ 380 Van Brunt St
Somtum Der is one of the best Thai spots in the East Village and now that the people behind it have opened a second location in Red Hook, we’re hoping we can say the same for this South Brooklyn neighborhood.
Izakaya Toribar $$$$ 164 E 56th St
This new Japanese izakaya on E 56th Street in Midtown East looks like a good spot to eat things like skewered eggplant, pork belly, and short rib on a causal weeknight. And if you also want to get drinks with your snacks here, Izakaya Toribar has a long sake list and some good-looking cocktails.
 Antony Magne Casa del Toro $$$$ 626 10th Ave Ph B
There’s a new Mexican restaurant in Hell’s Kitchen that looks like the dimly-lit lair of someone whose goal in life is to take over the world by way of a five for $20 taco deal. You’ll find this and dishes like queso fundido and elote on the menu at this casual sit-down spot on 10th Ave.
Dun Huang Miss Noodles $$$$ 531 Myrtle Ave
If you’re a fan of noodle soups and wall art involving majestic wildlife, this new Lanzhou noodle house in Clinton Hill could become your go-to for a casual weeknight dinner in the neighborhood. Dun Huang Miss Noodles serves good-looking bowls of hand-pulled noodles in a small room with red leather booths and a deer mural that could be a film still from Pocahontas.
 Eleni's Eleni’s $$$$ 226 3rd Ave
Eleni’s is a new, all-white, Greek restaurant in Gramercy that’s decorated with rope chandeliers, sailboat murals, and small (definitely artificial) olive trees. If you’re looking to eat seafood dishes like lobster pasta or octopus with a group in the area, this spot might be a good fit.
Ms. Ohho $$$$ 146 Nassau Ave
If you’re looking for a Brooklyn coffee shop that also serves good food, try Ms. Ohho. This new Korean counter-service spot in Greenpoint is only a few blocks from the Nassau Ave G stop and the menu has things like japchae, bibimbap, and kimchi stew.
Sanpoutei $$$$ 92 2nd Ave
If you’re the kind of person who prefers your ramen served on the saltier side, you’ll probably like Sanpoutei. This casual ramen place has several locations across Asia and specializes in soy sauce-based broth. Now that it’s open on 2nd Avenue in the East Village, you can come here for lunch or dinner in the neighborhood.
 Liz Clayman Torien $ $ $ $ Japanese  in  NOHO $$$$ 292 Elizabeth St Not
Rated
Yet
Torien is a new upscale yakitori spot in Noho from a chef who is the George Clooney of grilled skewers in Tokyo. And even though his apprentice will actually be the one preparing the $150, 13-course yakitori omakase, dinner here will probably be incredible.
 Melissa Homm Piggyback $ $ $ $ Thai ,  Filipino  in  Chelsea ,  Koreatown $$$$ 140 W 30th St Not
Rated
Yet
The people behind Pig and Khao have opened a new restaurant in Chelsea with dishes influenced by the Philippines and Thailand. There’s a big wraparound bar up front where you can eat things like Hainanese duck and curry puffs with a date. If you come here with a larger group, try to get one of the big tables in the back room.
We checked out Piggyback and added it to our Hit List.
 Chubby Princess Chubby Princess $ $ $ $ Chinese  in  Financial District $$$$ 200 Water St Not
Rated
Yet
One of our most recommended restaurants in the city, Málà Project has opened a second Chinese spot in Fidi. But instead of dry pot, at Chubby Princess you’ll find dishes like spicy noodle soup, dumplings, and mapo tofu. If this place is anywhere near as good as Málà Project, it could likely make our guide to The Best Places To Eat In The Financial District.
 Peter Bonacci Sushi By Bou $$$$ 218 Newark Ave
We’re fans of the $50, 12-piece omakase at Sushi by Bou in Flatiron, so it’s comforting to know that a new location just opened in Jersey City. It looks like a strong contender for our new guide to The Best Restaurants in Jersey City.
 Sally's $ $ $ $ Chinese ,  Caribbean  in  Bedford-Stuyvesant ,  Brooklyn $$$$ 151 Tompkins Ave Not
Rated
Yet
If you like Sally Roots, you’ll probably be into Sally’s, a new Caribbean spot in Bed-Stuy from the same people. It looks like a good spot to drink tiki cocktails and eat things like curry crab rangoons and jerk pork bowls for dinner - and like Sally Roots, nothing on the menu costs over $20.
 Jiang Diner $ $ $ $ Chinese  in  East Village $$$$ 309 E 5th St Not
Rated
Yet
Jiang Diner just moved to a new location around the corner from its original spot in the East Village. Unlike the first version of this Chinese restaurant, the new place is counter-service, so it’s a good option if you’re looking for some quick congee in the area.
 Peoples Wine $ $ $ $ Wine Bar  in  Lower East Side $$$$ 115 Delancey St
A new natural wine bar from the team behind Contra and Wildair has opened inside of The Market Line (a big food court on the LES that also just opened a few months ago). Peoples Wine seems like a good spot to drink and learn about wine or just snack on things like lobster pasta and cream puffs. Plus, if you like something you drank at the bar, you can buy one to take home.
 Rachel Vanni Ernesto's $ $ $ $ Spanish ,  French  in  Lower East Side $$$$ 259 E Broadway Not
Rated
Yet
A chef who used to cook at Frenchette has opened his own upscale Basque restaurant on the LES - it has exposed brick walls, leather chairs, and a chandelier that looks like a map of the solar system. Dishes like grilled Iberico ham, lamb-stuffed peppers, and monkfish with clams and salsa verde look promising.
We checked out Ernesto’s and added it to our Hit List.
 Adrian Gaut Verōnika $ $ $ $ European  in  Flatiron ,  Gramercy $$$$ 281 Park Ave S Not
Rated
Yet
Veronika is a huge Eastern European place with high ceilings in the new photography museum in Gramercy. It’s from the people behind Le Coucou and Upland, and you can expect dishes like pierogies with caviar and veal schnitzel here.
Tiki Chick $$$$ 517 Amsterdam Ave
Tiki Chick is a new bar on the Upper West Side from the team behind Jacob’s Pickles and it looks like a strong contender for our guide to 15 Uptown Spots That Feel Like Downtown Spots. If you’re looking for a place near W 86th St. to meet someone who you might take on a tropical honeymoon in the future, consider getting mai tais here.
 Boca Santa $ $ $ $ Mexican  in  Bedford-Stuyvesant ,  Brooklyn $$$$ 480 Madison St Not
Rated
Yet
This plant-covered Mexican spot in Bed-Stuy looks like a convenient and affordable way to eat things that you’d otherwise have to fly over 2,000 miles to try. Plus, all of the vegetarian-friendly Mexican dishes here, including dishes like chicharron and butternut squash quesadillas, cost less than $15.
 Rachel Vanni Bergamo’s $$$$ 26 Vanderbilt
Bergamo’s is a new cocktail bar in Midtown East that could be a good option for eating small plates and getting drinks near Grand Central Terminal. We wish our office had the same dark wood paneling and huge brown leather couches.
 Alison Alison $$$$ 1651 Lexington Ave

Depanneur is a new sandwich spot and grocery store in Downtown Brooklyn with its own wine shop and art gallery. Everything from the deli and espresso bar comes from local vendors, and there’s already a location in Williamsburg.
 Nobody Told Me $ $ $ $ Bar Food  in  Upper West Side $$$$ 951 Amsterdam Ave
The people behind Dovetail (a former UWS neighborhood spot) have a new casual cocktail bar on the corner of 107th Street and Amsterdam Avenue. Nobody Told Me stays open until 2am every night, and serves bar snacks as well as larger dishes like a burger and a fried chicken sandwich.

Lamalo is a new all-day Middle Eastern restaurant from the owner of Breads Bakery. It’s located in the Arlo Nomad Hotel on 31st Street, and serves dishes like skewers, mezze dips, and salads.
 Ethan Covey Bonsai Kakigori $$$$ 100 Stanton St
The first storefront for the popular Japanese shaved ice shop is now open on the LES (they also have popups at Canal Street Market and Smorgasborg). In addition to shaved ice, the menu here also has toasts, matcha drinks, and katsu sandwiches.
Gemelli and The Ledge $$$$ 48 Cypress Avenue
This is a multi-level Mediterranean Italian spot in Bushwick that has an all-day pasta restaurant on the ground floor, a cocktail bar with a deck on the second floor.
Lamia’s Fish Market $$$$ 47 Avenue B
Lamia’s Fish Market is a fancy Mediterranean spot in the East Village that looks a little like a submarine. The menu here has steak, pasta, and lots of raw-bar options.
GoodLife BK $$$$ 706 Washington Ave
GoodLife BK is a new neighborhood bar with a lot of nicely rounded edges in Prospect Heights. It’s from the people behind Ode to Babel (another bar in the area) and they serve cocktails, wine, and beer that you can drink inside or on the patio out back.
 Gai Chicken & Rice $ $ $ $ Thai  in  Midtown ,  Midtown East $$$$ 158 E 45th St Not
Rated
Yet
The chef that opened Fish Cheeks in Noho has a new counter-service restaurant in Midtown East that specializes in Hainanese chicken rice. The menu here has a few different chicken varieties, including fried and steamed with ginger chili sauce.
 Frevo Frevo $$$$ 48 W 8th St
Frevo is a fancy French tasting menu restaurant hidden behind a painting in a gallery in Greenwich Village. There are 18 chef’s counter seats and the five-course meal costs $124.
 Dough Vale $ $ $ $ Pizza ,  Italian  in  Brooklyn ,  Williamsburg $$$$ 330 South 3rd Street Not
Rated
Yet
This is a new Neapolitan pizza place in Williamsburg near the bridge. The pies are all in the $15 range, and there are also a few salads, pastas, and charcuterie options on the menu. It’s currently BYOB.
The Gradient $$$$ 17 Wyckoff Avenue
From the name alone, it’s possible you already know this restaurant is in Bushwick. The Gradient is an all-day spot that serves vegetarian and vegan breakfast and lunch until 5pm, and then things like nachos, seitan wings, and kale caesar until 11pm. After that, it becomes strictly a bar - and stays open until 4am on the weekends.
La Napa $$$$ 656 Nostrand Avenue
This is a tapas restaurant in Crown Heights that serves mostly Latin American-inspired dishes like arepas, lechon wontons, and a bunch of different tacos. Nothing on the menu costs more than $20, and they’re open for lunch and dinner every day (except Mondays).

A Mother's Love When I moved back 2 Vegas 6 yrs ago, I was hella broken. My family knew I put my all in2 my relationship n still I failed. That reality hit me like a ton of bircks. All my life, I've accomplished whatever I put my heart & mind 2. Being w/this man ReQuiReD me 2 pray non-stop. Back then, that's all I knew 2 do. My Mom's background is in the entertainment industry. Soon as I touched down, she dried my eyes, took my hand & guided me in2 her private World. We created a PodCast Needle On The Record & went on 2 cover countless red carpet events, speakin w/some of the most loved celebrities of 2day. It was a beautiful distraction. I appeared 2 be a beautiful, quiet co-hostess. Behind the scenes, I was creating contracts, editing shit, makin new contacts & gettin my feet wet interviewing the elite. My Mom would have me dress up as eye candy, which was hella fun. By the time we made it 2 the event, I'd have a whoooole list of shit I would NoT tolerate. My friendly face invited the most manish men 2 mind their manners in my company. I reminded them we r all human, I don't desire anything beyond extending my congrats & finding out about new projects. They acted like they neva had an attractive woman come @ them like that. Which relaxed them & left me privy 2 hella private info. 2day, we back @ it again. I am a reflection of my Mom. Her mastermind simply bewilders me ❤. My business sense, creative abilites & educational background make me the threat she aspired 2 be. Time 2 invite u guys in2 another part of my World that I usually don't openly speak about. Turns out, I am pretty cool. And megga inspirational. As u guys vibe off my stories, my prayer is that u neva 4get ur own power. Remember, u have the power 2 be whoever ya wanna be. Doin whatever ya wanna do. I believe in u & we never even met. What do u believe in? Comment below n let a Godis kno ❤🔆😘 #ElectricLady #TwerkNTone #TeamAlchemy #LuvNLite #HealChallenge #energy #amethyst #nofear #god #happiness #bliss #420 #yurt #abrahamhicks #hope #patience #trust #enlightenment #spiritualgrowth #dreamspart #ascension #iamdeserving #iamdivine #highestgood #awakening #beginnings #consciousminds

NYC’s New Restaurant Openings (1) added to Google Docs
NYC’s New Restaurant Openings (1)
If you tried to keep track of every brand new restaurant in New York City, you might go a little bit crazy. So just read this list instead. These are the new restaurant openings that seem like they have the most potential - although keep in mind, for the ones we haven’t tried, we make no promises. Go forth and be a pioneer.
We’ll be regularly updating this post. Once we check out a great spot, we’ll add a note so you know where to read more about it - in our Hit List and Bar Hit List.
february  Alex Muccilli Thai Diner $$$$ 186 Mott St
Lower Manhattan has a cool new diner to get excited about, this time from the people behind Uncle Boons. Thai Diner is currently serving Thai breakfast and lunch until 4pm every day, including a dish with five nouns we like a lot: Thai tea babka French Toast. No need to freak out if you don’t spend daytime hours near Nolita - they’re extending dinner hours soon.
 Don Freeman American Bar $ $ $ $ American  in  West Village $$$$ 33 Greenwich Ave Not
Rated
Yet
This week in bad SEO news, there’s a new restaurant from the team behind Cafe Clover called American Bar. While it might be hard to find on Google, you will be able to find things like jumbo shrimp cocktails, wedge salads, and meatloaf for two if you come here.
Dolly Varden $$$$ 302 W 51st Street
Language is hard. For example, Dolly Varden is a type of trout, the name of a character in a Dickens novel, and now it’s also a two-story bar in Hell’s Kitchen. So next time you’re name dropping this new jazz age-themed cocktail bar, make sure you clarify.
 Hakata Zen Hakata Zen $$$$ 31 St Marks Place
After a 12-month closure, this Japanese hot pot place just reopened on St. Marks. Hakata Zen specializes in motsunabe hot pot - a red or white broth typically made with intestine, chives, cabbage, and tofu.
 Doma Doma $$$$ 120 1st Ave
Another East Village spot that stays open late is Doma, which is from the same people behind Tang Hotpot on the LES and The Tang on the UWS. This restaurant serves a mix of traditional Korean food (like seafood pancakes and bibimbap) and not-so-traditional Korean food (like kimchi arancini and gochujang octopus with grits).
Money Cat Vietnamese Kitchen $$$$ 554 Wilson Ave
Money Cat is a Vietnamese restaurant in Bushwick where you can order things like summer rolls, brisket pho, and banh mi filled with Chinese sausage. The space looks about as casual as a cafeteria - mostly because they have the same picnic tables you sat in during high school lunch period.
Top Thai $$$$ 55 Carmine St
The West Village has very few casual Thai spots in the neighborhood. So if you live in the area, take note of Top Thai Vintage on Carmine Street.
Factory Tamal East Village $$$$ 63 E. 4th Street
If you spend time on the LES, it’s possible you’ve been meaning to check out Factory Tamal for a while now (or you go every other Sunday morning for breakfast sandwiches and tamales). Consider their new second location in the East Village a further incentive to get involved with a chipotle chicken tamale.
Indika House $$$$ 943 Broadway
Indika House is a casual Indian restaurant in Bed-Stuy, right across from the Myrtle Broadway subway station. The menu seems pretty straightforward (full of dishes like biryani and vindaloo), and we can only describe the walls as having a similar aesthetic to the Rainbow Road level in Mario Kart.
Citizens Of Soho $$$$ 201 Lafayette Street
Did anyone ask for a new place to get charred broccoli bowls and lattes in Soho? Likely not. But if you work or live in the area, this location of an Australian cafe chain is here for your light meal needs.
 & Sons & Sons $$$$ 447 Rogers Ave
If you’re into wine and charcuterie, you’ll probably want to become a regular at this new Prospect Lefferts Gardens wine bar, which specializes in American country ham. It’s owned by an ex-sommelier from The French Laundry in Napa Valley who also used to run the beverage program at Per Se, which is to say, you should expect to learn more about great wine (and ham) in this tiny, brick-walled room on Rogers Ave. Just keep in mind that, for now, & Sons is only open Thursday through Sunday.
 Raffaele De Vivo Bar Camillo $$$$ 333 Tompkins Ave
The people behind Locanda Vini & Olii and Camillo, two solid neighborhood Italian spots in Brooklyn, just opened a third spot in Bed-Stuy where you can drink negronis and eat Italian food. They specialize in Roman-style pizza called pinsas, but you can also order things like baked cacio e pepe and beef short ribs here.
Dashi Brooklyn $$$$ 119 Ingraham St.
Eat outdoors at Smorgasburg all winter if you want to. But first, you should know that the team behind a couple of regular vendors at the weekly food fair (including a fried chicken truck and a pho bar), just opened an all-day Japanese comfort food place in East Williamsburg. To no one’s surprise, you can find a fried chicken sandwich and pho on the menu, but there are also some donburi rice dishes, sandwiches, and avocado toast served with an optional $6 slab of hanger steak.
 Rome To Brooklyn Pizza $$$$ 755 Grand St
There’s a new slice shop in Williamsburg where you can get toppings like blueberry and pancetta, or pear and gorgonzola on your pizza. And if you’re looking for a sit-down lunch or dinner, you can grab a seat at one of the two-tops inside and think about adding a rosemary focaccia panini, hellboy panzerotti (essentially a fried calzone from the heel of Italy’s boot), or a beef-filled arancini to your order.
Strings Ramen $$$$ 188 2nd Ave
Our good friends at The Infatuation Chicago love Strings Ramen, so we’re happy to see that the first NYC location of this counter-service spot just opened in the East Village. In this small dining room on 2nd Avenue, you can get things like duck ramen in pork bone broth for lunch, dinner, or just before you go into hibernation for the next three months.
 Evan Sung Da Toscano $$$$ 24 Minetta Ln
The Italian spot Perla in Greenwich Village was an all-time Infatuation favorite until it tragically closed several years ago. Now, the team behind Perla is back in the same space with their new restaurant Da Toscano. You can expect to eat unusual dishes like octopus carpaccio, veal parm, and a giant porchetta chop wrapped in pork belly here.
 Quality Bistro $$$$ 120 W 55th St
The people behind Quality Eats, a chain of steakhouses trapped in cool restaurant bodies, just opened a huge new French brasserie in Midtown. Quality Bistro has a few luxury hotel lobby-sized dining rooms where you can eat steak frites and stare at hundreds of framed bird photos lining the walls.
Taqueria Al Pastor $$$$ 128 Wyckoff Ave
Taqueria Al Pastor is a new counter-service Mexican spot with a meat spit in the kitchen, which makes us confident that they’re serious about tacos. This small Bushwick restaurant has only a few counter seats, but the al pastor tacos served with hand-made corn or flour tortillas seem good enough to eat standing up.
 Jose Solis Paisley $$$$ 429 Greenwich St
If you’re looking for a new place to have a business meal in Tribeca, this new upscale Indian restaurant could be a solid option. The chef at Paisley used to cook at Tamarind, another upscale Indian spot that’s just a few blocks away, where we like the fish curry and paneer lababdar.
 Industry City Wakuwaku $$$$ 269 36th Street
Sunset Park is one of NYC’s great food neighborhoods, and some of its best dishes can be found in the food court at Industry City. Wakuwaku is a new sit-down, yakitori in Industry City’s Japan Village, and if you’re in the mood for pork katsu or unagi eel around lunchtime, this is where you’ll find them. Just keep in mind that for now, it’s only open from noon to 3pm, Wednesday through Sunday.
Masti Indian Grill $$$$ 184 Havemeyer St
There’s a new neighborhood Indian spot in Williamsburg that seems like a promising option to keep in mind the next time you’re craving goat curry or lamb biriyani in the area.
 Little Ways Little Ways $$$$ 343 W Broadway
Little Ways is another ’70s-inspired cocktail bar from the people behind Flower Shop. This new place also has two floors, with a full restaurant on the first, and a cocktail lounge on the second where you can get natural wine or something made with beet-infused mezcal, and more mid-century modern furniture than you can find in any warehouse in Red Hook.
January Bar Goto Niban $$$$ 474 Bergen St
The team behind Bar Goto, where we go when we want to pretend we’re at a tiny bar in Tokyo for a few hours, just opened a new, slightly-larger bar in Park Slope. The new location has different bar snacks and Japanese-inspired cocktails than the original, but you can get their incredible miso wings in this dimly-lit, wood-covered room near Barclays Center.
 Signe Birck Kissaki $$$$ 319 Bowery
Kissaki is an upscale omakase sushi spot with a colorful space on Bowery. For $160, you get 12 pieces of nigiri plus four small plates.
Two Wheels $$$$ 426 Amsterdam Ave
Two Wheels is a new counter-service Vietnamese spot on the UWS where you can get pho, banh mi, and vermicelli noodles in a white brick-walled room that looks like a mini Sweetgreen. It’s open from 11am to 10pm and (unlike when you add too many premium toppings at its salad chain doppelgänger), nothing on the menu costs more than $15.
Sushi Ishikawa West $$$$ 207 W 80th St
The UES location of Sushi Ishikawa made it into our guide to Where To Eat Omakase Sushi In NYC For Under $100, but the second location from the same team is slightly more expensive. This new UWS Japanese spot offers a 15-piece sushi omakase option for $125 or a 16-piece option for $155.
La Tavola Della Nonna $$$$ 208 W 70th St
If you’re heading to a show at Lincoln Center soon and want to make dinner plans somewhere nearby, consider trying La Tavola Della Nonna. This brick-walled Italian spot on the Upper West Side looks like it could be a solid option for pizza and pasta in the neighborhood.
 Kettl Kettl Tea $$$$ 348 Bowery
If the green tea packets from your office cabinet aren’t keeping you awake anymore, you can get the strong stuff, straight from Japan, at Kettl in Noho. This is the second NYC tea shop from the Kettl team, but it’s the first to offer things like a four-course green tea tasting, tea-based gelato, and hot tea from a to-go window on Bowery.
 Dan Ahn Jua $ $ $ $ Korean  in  Flatiron $$$$ 36 E 22nd St Not
Rated
Yet
Jua is a new upscale Korean spot in Flatiron that offers a nine-course tasting menu for $95. It’s from the team behind Her Name is Han and Atomix which leads us to believe that the BBQ short rib and truffle jjajangmen will be well worth the money.
Somtum Der $$$$ 380 Van Brunt St
Somtum Der is one of the best Thai spots in the East Village and now that the people behind it have opened a second location in Red Hook, we’re hoping we can say the same for this South Brooklyn neighborhood.
Izakaya Toribar $$$$ 164 E 56th St
This new Japanese izakaya on E 56th Street in Midtown East looks like a good spot to eat things like skewered eggplant, pork belly, and short rib on a causal weeknight. And if you also want to get drinks with your snacks here, Izakaya Toribar has a long sake list and some good-looking cocktails.
 Antony Magne Casa del Toro $$$$ 626 10th Ave Ph B
There’s a new Mexican restaurant in Hell’s Kitchen that looks like the dimly-lit lair of someone whose goal in life is to take over the world by way of a five for $20 taco deal. You’ll find this and dishes like queso fundido and elote on the menu at this casual sit-down spot on 10th Ave.
Dun Huang Miss Noodles $$$$ 531 Myrtle Ave
If you’re a fan of noodle soups and wall art involving majestic wildlife, this new Lanzhou noodle house in Clinton Hill could become your go-to for a casual weeknight dinner in the neighborhood. Dun Huang Miss Noodles serves good-looking bowls of hand-pulled noodles in a small room with red leather booths and a deer mural that could be a film still from Pocahontas.
 Eleni's Eleni’s $$$$ 226 3rd Ave
Eleni’s is a new, all-white, Greek restaurant in Gramercy that’s decorated with rope chandeliers, sailboat murals, and small (definitely artificial) olive trees. If you’re looking to eat seafood dishes like lobster pasta or octopus with a group in the area, this spot might be a good fit.
Ms. Ohho $$$$ 146 Nassau Ave
If you’re looking for a Brooklyn coffee shop that also serves good food, try Ms. Ohho. This new Korean counter-service spot in Greenpoint is only a few blocks from the Nassau Ave G stop and the menu has things like japchae, bibimbap, and kimchi stew.
Sanpoutei $$$$ 92 2nd Ave
If you’re the kind of person who prefers your ramen served on the saltier side, you’ll probably like Sanpoutei. This casual ramen place has several locations across Asia and specializes in soy sauce-based broth. Now that it’s open on 2nd Avenue in the East Village, you can come here for lunch or dinner in the neighborhood.
 Liz Clayman Torien $ $ $ $ Japanese  in  NOHO $$$$ 292 Elizabeth St Not
Rated
Yet
Torien is a new upscale yakitori spot in Noho from a chef who is the George Clooney of grilled skewers in Tokyo. And even though his apprentice will actually be the one preparing the $150, 13-course yakitori omakase, dinner here will probably be incredible.
 Melissa Homm Piggyback $ $ $ $ Thai ,  Filipino  in  Chelsea ,  Koreatown $$$$ 140 W 30th St Not
Rated
Yet
The people behind Pig and Khao have opened a new restaurant in Chelsea with dishes influenced by the Philippines and Thailand. There’s a big wraparound bar up front where you can eat things like Hainanese duck and curry puffs with a date. If you come here with a larger group, try to get one of the big tables in the back room.
We checked out Piggyback and added it to our Hit List.
 Chubby Princess Chubby Princess $ $ $ $ Chinese  in  Financial District $$$$ 200 Water St Not
Rated
Yet
One of our most recommended restaurants in the city, Málà Project has opened a second Chinese spot in Fidi. But instead of dry pot, at Chubby Princess you’ll find dishes like spicy noodle soup, dumplings, and mapo tofu. If this place is anywhere near as good as Málà Project, it could likely make our guide to The Best Places To Eat In The Financial District.
 Peter Bonacci Sushi By Bou $$$$ 218 Newark Ave
We’re fans of the $50, 12-piece omakase at Sushi by Bou in Flatiron, so it’s comforting to know that a new location just opened in Jersey City. It looks like a strong contender for our new guide to The Best Restaurants in Jersey City.
 Sally's $ $ $ $ Chinese ,  Caribbean  in  Bedford-Stuyvesant ,  Brooklyn $$$$ 151 Tompkins Ave Not
Rated
Yet
If you like Sally Roots, you’ll probably be into Sally’s, a new Caribbean spot in Bed-Stuy from the same people. It looks like a good spot to drink tiki cocktails and eat things like curry crab rangoons and jerk pork bowls for dinner - and like Sally Roots, nothing on the menu costs over $20.
 Jiang Diner $ $ $ $ Chinese  in  East Village $$$$ 309 E 5th St Not
Rated
Yet
Jiang Diner just moved to a new location around the corner from its original spot in the East Village. Unlike the first version of this Chinese restaurant, the new place is counter-service, so it’s a good option if you’re looking for some quick congee in the area.
 Peoples Wine $ $ $ $ Wine Bar  in  Lower East Side $$$$ 115 Delancey St
A new natural wine bar from the team behind Contra and Wildair has opened inside of The Market Line (a big food court on the LES that also just opened a few months ago). Peoples Wine seems like a good spot to drink and learn about wine or just snack on things like lobster pasta and cream puffs. Plus, if you like something you drank at the bar, you can buy one to take home.
 Rachel Vanni Ernesto's $ $ $ $ Spanish ,  French  in  Lower East Side $$$$ 259 E Broadway Not
Rated
Yet
A chef who used to cook at Frenchette has opened his own upscale Basque restaurant on the LES - it has exposed brick walls, leather chairs, and a chandelier that looks like a map of the solar system. Dishes like grilled Iberico ham, lamb-stuffed peppers, and monkfish with clams and salsa verde look promising.
We checked out Ernesto’s and added it to our Hit List.
 Adrian Gaut Verōnika $ $ $ $ European  in  Flatiron ,  Gramercy $$$$ 281 Park Ave S Not
Rated
Yet
Veronika is a huge Eastern European place with high ceilings in the new photography museum in Gramercy. It’s from the people behind Le Coucou and Upland, and you can expect dishes like pierogies with caviar and veal schnitzel here.
Tiki Chick $$$$ 517 Amsterdam Ave
Tiki Chick is a new bar on the Upper West Side from the team behind Jacob’s Pickles and it looks like a strong contender for our guide to 15 Uptown Spots That Feel Like Downtown Spots. If you’re looking for a place near W 86th St. to meet someone who you might take on a tropical honeymoon in the future, consider getting mai tais here.
 Boca Santa $ $ $ $ Mexican  in  Bedford-Stuyvesant ,  Brooklyn $$$$ 480 Madison St Not
Rated
Yet
This plant-covered Mexican spot in Bed-Stuy looks like a convenient and affordable way to eat things that you’d otherwise have to fly over 2,000 miles to try. Plus, all of the vegetarian-friendly Mexican dishes here, including dishes like chicharron and butternut squash quesadillas, cost less than $15.
 Rachel Vanni Bergamo’s $$$$ 26 Vanderbilt
Bergamo’s is a new cocktail bar in Midtown East that could be a good option for eating small plates and getting drinks near Grand Central Terminal. We wish our office had the same dark wood paneling and huge brown leather couches.
 Alison Alison $$$$ 1651 Lexington Ave
Alison is a neighborhood restaurant in East Harlem where we’ll probably eat some oysters and a burger alone at the bar on a Tuesday night. There are also some good-looking pancakes and a smoked salmon croissant available here during weekend brunch.
 Industry City Oldies $$$$ 946 3rd Ave
If you’re looking for a good cocktail bar in Industry City, try Oldies. It’s from the people behind Angel’s Share, but instead of button downs and vest, the people making your drinks here will be dressed in jeans and button-downs. Plus, Japanese bar snacks like corn tempura and salmon sashimi here look promising.
Anassa Taverna $$$$ 28-10 Astoria Blvd
Anassa, a Greek spot that works well for a Last-Minute Group Dinner in Midtown East, has opened a second restaurant in Astoria, which looks like it might also work well for a spontaneous dinner in the neighborhood.
 Luis Paez Clover Hill $$$$ 20 Columbia Pl
If you close your eyes and imagine a small, neighborhood spot in Brooklyn, you’ll probably see something similar to what you’ll find at Clover Hill. It’s a white brick-walled room with bay windows and indoor plants where you can eat a crepe or some clams with potato and onion soup everyday till 3pm.
 Max Lau The Deco $$$$ 231 W 39th St
There’s a new food hall in Midtown where you can eat everything from a panini at a new spot from the people behind Maman to a chicken salad sandwich on a fancy Hawaiian roll. The Deco is open every day from 7am to 9pm.
Goodman's Bar $$$$ 745 Fifth Avenue
Two people who used to work at Eleven Madison Park are now doing drinks and bar snacks at this new cocktail bar on the second floor of Bergdorf Goodman’s in Midtown. There’s a long marble bar inside where you can order a negroni and bar snacks like beef tartare or chicken liver mousse while pretending to be the kind of person who does this kind of thing a lot.
DeCember  Liz Clayman Pips $$$$ 129 Atlantic Ave
The team behind Colonie in Brooklyn Heights has opened this natural wine bar right next door to their restaurant on Atlantic Ave. Pips looks like a casual spot with concrete walls and plenty of bar stools where you can sip from a glass of unfamiliar wine and snack on chicken liver or soppressata.
 Noods n' Chill Noods n’ Chill $ $ $ $ Thai  in  Brooklyn ,  Williamsburg $$$$ 170 S 3rd St Not
Rated
Yet
This new Thai cafe in Williamsburg is from the same family that runs Look by Plant Love House and it might be good enough to make our guide, Where To Get Brunch If You Hate Brunch. On Saturdays, Noods n’ Chill serves Chinese-Thai breakfast specials like rice porridge with stewed pork and cabbage omelettes from 11am to 4pm, but you can also get lunch or dinner here Tuesday through Sunday.
We checked out Noods n’ Chill and added it to our Hit List.
 Tabaré $$$$ 1006 Flushing Ave
For years, Tabare in Williamsburg was one of the few places in NYC that served Uruguayan food. But now, the team has opened a second location in Bushwick, which means you can get dishes like chivito completo (filet mignon on a sandwich with egg, bacon, ham, and cheese) for dinner before a night at Elsewhere or House of Yes.
 Emmy Squared UES $ $ $ $ Pizza  in  Upper East Side $$$$ 1426 3rd Ave Not
Rated
Yet
You can now relive your childhood pizza party dreams at the third NYC location of Emmy Squared on the UES. The next time you’re looking for square pizza above 79th Street, try a margarita pie here.
 Queen Queen $$$$ 247 Starr St
Queen is a casual new Meditteranean spot in Bushwick with patterned tile floors and small wood tables that you and your friends can crowd with mezze, hummus, and meat skewers. Since nothing on the menu here costs more than $20, this could be a solid affordable group dinner spot.
 Tom Kordenbrock The Awkward Scone $$$$ 1022 Broadway
If you like eating breakfast burritos and using other people’s wifi, you might like this new cafe in Bushwick. The menu at The Awkward Scone involves a variety of New Mexican-style breakfast burritos full of things like green chile and hash browns, plus some good-looking pastries to enjoy with your free internet connection.
 Tina B Foto Pasta Al Forno $ $ $ $ Italian  in  West Village $$$$ 167 7th Ave S Not
Rated
Yet
The team behind Fiaschetteria Pistoia has opened a new baked pasta spot in the West Village where you can get a slice of baked ziti and lasagna bolognese for $14 to $18. This counter-service spot also has vegan options and is open from 11am to 11pm daily.
Bar Bête $ $ $ $ French  in  Carroll Gardens ,  Cobble Hill $$$$ 263 Smith St Not
Rated
Yet
The curved archways and globe pendant lights inside this new French-Canadian spot in Carroll Gardens make the space look like the inside of a spaceship — a friendly, neighborhood spaceship where you can eat dishes like potatoes made with duck fat and steak tartare with a side of quail eggs.
We checked out Bar Bête and added it to our Hit List.
 Adrian Gaut Bathhouse $$$$ 103 N 10th St
Bathhouse is an upscale Eastern European restaurant inside of a Costco-sized spa on 10th Street in Williamsburg. The head chef used to work at Eleven Madison Park, but now he’s serving borscht, duck legs, and boar sausage stew for lunch, dinner, and brunch inside a white brick-walled space with more indoor plants than windows.
Yafa $$$$ 4415 4th Ave
This new coffee shop in Sunset Park is serving Yemeni breakfast dishes like BEC samboosas and shakshuka all day, plus lunch options like lamb stew and fried chicken after 10am. Yafa Cafe is on the same block as the 45th Street R-stop so if you’re looking for a cafe with not-boring food, you might want to try this place.
 Nitzan Rubin J. Bespoke $$$$ 121 E 27th St
If you’ve ever wanted to watch sports in a bar that serves an Old Fashioned with a spritz of chartreuse perfume, you’ll probably love J.Bespoke. This upscale cocktail bar in NoMad happens to have several TVs playing streams of people chasing a ball, but you could use it for anything.
 232 Bleecker $ $ $ $ American  in  West Village $$$$ 232 Bleecker St Not
Rated
Yet

After a 12-month closure, this Japanese hot pot place just reopened on St. Marks. Hakata Zen specializes in motsunabe hot pot - a red or white broth typically made with intestine, chives, cabbage, and tofu.
 Doma Doma $$$$ 120 1st Ave
Another East Village spot that stays open late is Doma, which is from the same people behind Tang Hotpot on the LES and The Tang on the UWS. This restaurant serves a mix of traditional Korean food (like seafood pancakes and bibimbap) and not-so-traditional Korean food (like kimchi arancini and gochujang octopus with grits).
Money Cat Vietnamese Kitchen $$$$ 554 Wilson Ave
Money Cat is a Vietnamese restaurant in Bushwick where you can order things like summer rolls, brisket pho, and banh mi filled with Chinese sausage. The space looks about as casual as a cafeteria - mostly because they have the same picnic tables you sat in during high school lunch period.
Top Thai $$$$ 55 Carmine St
The West Village has very few casual Thai spots in the neighborhood. So if you live in the area, take note of Top Thai Vintage on Carmine Street.
Factory Tamal East Village $$$$ 63 E. 4th Street
If you spend time on the LES, it’s possible you’ve been meaning to check out Factory Tamal for a while now (or you go every other Sunday morning for breakfast sandwiches and tamales). Consider their new second location in the East Village a further incentive to get involved with a chipotle chicken tamale.
Indika House $$$$ 943 Broadway
Indika House is a casual Indian restaurant in Bed-Stuy, right across from the Myrtle Broadway subway station. The menu seems pretty straightforward (full of dishes like biryani and vindaloo), and we can only describe the walls as having a similar aesthetic to the Rainbow Road level in Mario Kart.
Citizens Of Soho $$$$ 201 Lafayette Street
Did anyone ask for a new place to get charred broccoli bowls and lattes in Soho? Likely not. But if you work or live in the area, this location of an Australian cafe chain is here for your light meal needs.
 & Sons & Sons $$$$ 447 Rogers Ave
If you’re into wine and charcuterie, you’ll probably want to become a regular at this new Prospect Lefferts Gardens wine bar, which specializes in American country ham. It’s owned by an ex-sommelier from The French Laundry in Napa Valley who also used to run the beverage program at Per Se, which is to say, you should expect to learn more about great wine (and ham) in this tiny, brick-walled room on Rogers Ave. Just keep in mind that, for now, & Sons is only open Thursday through Sunday.
 Raffaele De Vivo Bar Camillo $$$$ 333 Tompkins Ave
The people behind Locanda Vini & Olii and Camillo, two solid neighborhood Italian spots in Brooklyn, just opened a third spot in Bed-Stuy where you can drink negronis and eat Italian food. They specialize in Roman-style pizza called pinsas, but you can also order things like baked cacio e pepe and beef short ribs here.
Dashi Brooklyn $$$$ 119 Ingraham St.
Eat outdoors at Smorgasburg all winter if you want to. But first, you should know that the team behind a couple of regular vendors at the weekly food fair (including a fried chicken truck and a pho bar), just opened an all-day Japanese comfort food place in East Williamsburg. To no one’s surprise, you can find a fried chicken sandwich and pho on the menu, but there are also some donburi rice dishes, sandwiches, and avocado toast served with an optional $6 slab of hanger steak.
 Rome To Brooklyn Pizza $$$$ 755 Grand St
There’s a new slice shop in Williamsburg where you can get toppings like blueberry and pancetta, or pear and gorgonzola on your pizza. And if you’re looking for a sit-down lunch or dinner, you can grab a seat at one of the two-tops inside and think about adding a rosemary focaccia panini, hellboy panzerotti (essentially a fried calzone from the heel of Italy’s boot), or a beef-filled arancini to your order.
Strings Ramen $$$$ 188 2nd Ave
Our good friends at The Infatuation Chicago love Strings Ramen, so we’re happy to see that the first NYC location of this counter-service spot just opened in the East Village. In this small dining room on 2nd Avenue, you can get things like duck ramen in pork bone broth for lunch, dinner, or just before you go into hibernation for the next three months.
 Evan Sung Da Toscano $$$$ 24 Minetta Ln
The Italian spot Perla in Greenwich Village was an all-time Infatuation favorite until it tragically closed several years ago. Now, the team behind Perla is back in the same space with their new restaurant Da Toscano. You can expect to eat unusual dishes like octopus carpaccio, veal parm, and a giant porchetta chop wrapped in pork belly here.
 Quality Bistro $$$$ 120 W 55th St
The people behind Quality Eats, a chain of steakhouses trapped in cool restaurant bodies, just opened a huge new French brasserie in Midtown. Quality Bistro has a few luxury hotel lobby-sized dining rooms where you can eat steak frites and stare at hundreds of framed bird photos lining the walls.
Taqueria Al Pastor $$$$ 128 Wyckoff Ave
Taqueria Al Pastor is a new counter-service Mexican spot with a meat spit in the kitchen, which makes us confident that they’re serious about tacos. This small Bushwick restaurant has only a few counter seats, but the al pastor tacos served with hand-made corn or flour tortillas seem good enough to eat standing up.
 Jose Solis Paisley $$$$ 429 Greenwich St
If you’re looking for a new place to have a business meal in Tribeca, this new upscale Indian restaurant could be a solid option. The chef at Paisley used to cook at Tamarind, another upscale Indian spot that’s just a few blocks away, where we like the fish curry and paneer lababdar.
 Industry City Wakuwaku $$$$ 269 36th Street
Sunset Park is one of NYC’s great food neighborhoods, and some of its best dishes can be found in the food court at Industry City. Wakuwaku is a new sit-down, yakitori in Industry City’s Japan Village, and if you’re in the mood for pork katsu or unagi eel around lunchtime, this is where you’ll find them. Just keep in mind that for now, it’s only open from noon to 3pm, Wednesday through Sunday.
Masti Indian Grill $$$$ 184 Havemeyer St
There’s a new neighborhood Indian spot in Williamsburg that seems like a promising option to keep in mind the next time you’re craving goat curry or lamb biriyani in the area.
 Little Ways Little Ways $$$$ 343 W Broadway
Little Ways is another ’70s-inspired cocktail bar from the people behind Flower Shop. This new place also has two floors, with a full restaurant on the first, and a cocktail lounge on the second where you can get natural wine or something made with beet-infused mezcal, and more mid-century modern furniture than you can find in any warehouse in Red Hook.
January Bar Goto Niban $$$$ 474 Bergen St
The team behind Bar Goto, where we go when we want to pretend we’re at a tiny bar in Tokyo for a few hours, just opened a new, slightly-larger bar in Park Slope. The new location has different bar snacks and Japanese-inspired cocktails than the original, but you can get their incredible miso wings in this dimly-lit, wood-covered room near Barclays Center.
 Signe Birck Kissaki $$$$ 319 Bowery
Kissaki is an upscale omakase sushi spot with a colorful space on Bowery. For $160, you get 12 pieces of nigiri plus four small plates.
Two Wheels $$$$ 426 Amsterdam Ave
Two Wheels is a new counter-service Vietnamese spot on the UWS where you can get pho, banh mi, and vermicelli noodles in a white brick-walled room that looks like a mini Sweetgreen. It’s open from 11am to 10pm and (unlike when you add too many premium toppings at its salad chain doppelgänger), nothing on the menu costs more than $15.
Sushi Ishikawa West $$$$ 207 W 80th St
The UES location of Sushi Ishikawa made it into our guide to Where To Eat Omakase Sushi In NYC For Under $100, but the second location from the same team is slightly more expensive. This new UWS Japanese spot offers a 15-piece sushi omakase option for $125 or a 16-piece option for $155.
La Tavola Della Nonna $$$$ 208 W 70th St
If you’re heading to a show at Lincoln Center soon and want to make dinner plans somewhere nearby, consider trying La Tavola Della Nonna. This brick-walled Italian spot on the Upper West Side looks like it could be a solid option for pizza and pasta in the neighborhood.
 Kettl Kettl Tea $$$$ 348 Bowery
If the green tea packets from your office cabinet aren’t keeping you awake anymore, you can get the strong stuff, straight from Japan, at Kettl in Noho. This is the second NYC tea shop from the Kettl team, but it’s the first to offer things like a four-course green tea tasting, tea-based gelato, and hot tea from a to-go window on Bowery.
 Dan Ahn Jua $ $ $ $ Korean  in  Flatiron $$$$ 36 E 22nd St Not
Rated
Yet
Jua is a new upscale Korean spot in Flatiron that offers a nine-course tasting menu for $95. It’s from the team behind Her Name is Han and Atomix which leads us to believe that the BBQ short rib and truffle jjajangmen will be well worth the money.
Somtum Der $$$$ 380 Van Brunt St
Somtum Der is one of the best Thai spots in the East Village and now that the people behind it have opened a second location in Red Hook, we’re hoping we can say the same for this South Brooklyn neighborhood.
Izakaya Toribar $$$$ 164 E 56th St
This new Japanese izakaya on E 56th Street in Midtown East looks like a good spot to eat things like skewered eggplant, pork belly, and short rib on a causal weeknight. And if you also want to get drinks with your snacks here, Izakaya Toribar has a long sake list and some good-looking cocktails.
 Antony Magne Casa del Toro $$$$ 626 10th Ave Ph B
There’s a new Mexican restaurant in Hell’s Kitchen that looks like the dimly-lit lair of someone whose goal in life is to take over the world by way of a five for $20 taco deal. You’ll find this and dishes like queso fundido and elote on the menu at this casual sit-down spot on 10th Ave.
Dun Huang Miss Noodles $$$$ 531 Myrtle Ave
If you’re a fan of noodle soups and wall art involving majestic wildlife, this new Lanzhou noodle house in Clinton Hill could become your go-to for a casual weeknight dinner in the neighborhood. Dun Huang Miss Noodles serves good-looking bowls of hand-pulled noodles in a small room with red leather booths and a deer mural that could be a film still from Pocahontas.
 Eleni's Eleni’s $$$$ 226 3rd Ave
Eleni’s is a new, all-white, Greek restaurant in Gramercy that’s decorated with rope chandeliers, sailboat murals, and small (definitely artificial) olive trees. If you’re looking to eat seafood dishes like lobster pasta or octopus with a group in the area, this spot might be a good fit.
Ms. Ohho $$$$ 146 Nassau Ave
If you’re looking for a Brooklyn coffee shop that also serves good food, try Ms. Ohho. This new Korean counter-service spot in Greenpoint is only a few blocks from the Nassau Ave G stop and the menu has things like japchae, bibimbap, and kimchi stew.
Sanpoutei $$$$ 92 2nd Ave
If you’re the kind of person who prefers your ramen served on the saltier side, you’ll probably like Sanpoutei. This casual ramen place has several locations across Asia and specializes in soy sauce-based broth. Now that it’s open on 2nd Avenue in the East Village, you can come here for lunch or dinner in the neighborhood.
 Liz Clayman Torien $ $ $ $ Japanese  in  NOHO $$$$ 292 Elizabeth St Not
Rated
Yet
Torien is a new upscale yakitori spot in Noho from a chef who is the George Clooney of grilled skewers in Tokyo. And even though his apprentice will actually be the one preparing the $150, 13-course yakitori omakase, dinner here will probably be incredible.
 Melissa Homm Piggyback $ $ $ $ Thai ,  Filipino  in  Chelsea ,  Koreatown $$$$ 140 W 30th St Not
Rated
Yet
The people behind Pig and Khao have opened a new restaurant in Chelsea with dishes influenced by the Philippines and Thailand. There’s a big wraparound bar up front where you can eat things like Hainanese duck and curry puffs with a date. If you come here with a larger group, try to get one of the big tables in the back room.
We checked out Piggyback and added it to our Hit List.
 Chubby Princess Chubby Princess $ $ $ $ Chinese  in  Financial District $$$$ 200 Water St Not
Rated
Yet
One of our most recommended restaurants in the city, Málà Project has opened a second Chinese spot in Fidi. But instead of dry pot, at Chubby Princess you’ll find dishes like spicy noodle soup, dumplings, and mapo tofu. If this place is anywhere near as good as Málà Project, it could likely make our guide to The Best Places To Eat In The Financial District.
 Peter Bonacci Sushi By Bou $$$$ 218 Newark Ave
We’re fans of the $50, 12-piece omakase at Sushi by Bou in Flatiron, so it’s comforting to know that a new location just opened in Jersey City. It looks like a strong contender for our new guide to The Best Restaurants in Jersey City.
 Sally's $ $ $ $ Chinese ,  Caribbean  in  Bedford-Stuyvesant ,  Brooklyn $$$$ 151 Tompkins Ave Not
Rated
Yet
If you like Sally Roots, you’ll probably be into Sally’s, a new Caribbean spot in Bed-Stuy from the same people. It looks like a good spot to drink tiki cocktails and eat things like curry crab rangoons and jerk pork bowls for dinner - and like Sally Roots, nothing on the menu costs over $20.
 Jiang Diner $ $ $ $ Chinese  in  East Village $$$$ 309 E 5th St Not
Rated
Yet
Jiang Diner just moved to a new location around the corner from its original spot in the East Village. Unlike the first version of this Chinese restaurant, the new place is counter-service, so it’s a good option if you’re looking for some quick congee in the area.
 Peoples Wine $ $ $ $ Wine Bar  in  Lower East Side $$$$ 115 Delancey St
A new natural wine bar from the team behind Contra and Wildair has opened inside of The Market Line (a big food court on the LES that also just opened a few months ago). Peoples Wine seems like a good spot to drink and learn about wine or just snack on things like lobster pasta and cream puffs. Plus, if you like something you drank at the bar, you can buy one to take home.
 Rachel Vanni Ernesto's $ $ $ $ Spanish ,  French  in  Lower East Side $$$$ 259 E Broadway Not
Rated
Yet
A chef who used to cook at Frenchette has opened his own upscale Basque restaurant on the LES - it has exposed brick walls, leather chairs, and a chandelier that looks like a map of the solar system. Dishes like grilled Iberico ham, lamb-stuffed peppers, and monkfish with clams and salsa verde look promising.
We checked out Ernesto’s and added it to our Hit List.

Veronika is a huge Eastern European place with high ceilings in the new photography museum in Gramercy. It’s from the people behind Le Coucou and Upland, and you can expect dishes like pierogies with caviar and veal schnitzel here.
Tiki Chick $$$$ 517 Amsterdam Ave
Tiki Chick is a new bar on the Upper West Side from the team behind Jacob’s Pickles and it looks like a strong contender for our guide to 15 Uptown Spots That Feel Like Downtown Spots. If you’re looking for a place near W 86th St. to meet someone who you might take on a tropical honeymoon in the future, consider getting mai tais here.
 Boca Santa $ $ $ $ Mexican  in  Bedford-Stuyvesant ,  Brooklyn $$$$ 480 Madison St Not

This plant-covered Mexican spot in Bed-Stuy looks like a convenient and affordable way to eat things that you’d otherwise have to fly over 2,000 miles to try. Plus, all of the vegetarian-friendly Mexican dishes here, including dishes like chicharron and butternut squash quesadillas, cost less than $15.
 Rachel Vanni Bergamo’s $$$$ 26 Vanderbilt
Bergamo’s is a new cocktail bar in Midtown East that could be a good option for eating small plates and getting drinks near Grand Central Terminal. We wish our office had the same dark wood paneling and huge brown leather couches.
 Alison Alison $$$$ 1651 Lexington Ave
Alison is a neighborhood restaurant in East Harlem where we’ll probably eat some oysters and a burger alone at the bar on a Tuesday night. There are also some good-looking pancakes and a smoked salmon croissant available here during weekend brunch.
 Industry City Oldies $$$$ 946 3rd Ave
If you’re looking for a good cocktail bar in Industry City, try Oldies. It’s from the people behind Angel’s Share, but instead of button downs and vest, the people making your drinks here will be dressed in jeans and button-downs. Plus, Japanese bar snacks like corn tempura and salmon sashimi here look promising.
Anassa Taverna $$$$ 28-10 Astoria Blvd
Anassa, a Greek spot that works well for a Last-Minute Group Dinner in Midtown East, has opened a second restaurant in Astoria, which looks like it might also work well for a spontaneous dinner in the neighborhood.
 Luis Paez Clover Hill $$$$ 20 Columbia Pl
If you close your eyes and imagine a small, neighborhood spot in Brooklyn, you’ll probably see something similar to what you’ll find at Clover Hill. It’s a white brick-walled room with bay windows and indoor plants where you can eat a crepe or some clams with potato and onion soup everyday till 3pm.
 Max Lau The Deco $$$$ 231 W 39th St
There’s a new food hall in Midtown where you can eat everything from a panini at a new spot from the people behind Maman to a chicken salad sandwich on a fancy Hawaiian roll. The Deco is open every day from 7am to 9pm.

DeCember  Liz Clayman Pips $$$$ 129 Atlantic Ave
The team behind Colonie in Brooklyn Heights has opened this natural wine bar right next door to their restaurant on Atlantic Ave. Pips looks like a casual spot with concrete walls and plenty of bar stools where you can sip from a glass of unfamiliar wine and snack on chicken liver or soppressata.
 Noods n' Chill Noods n’ Chill $ $ $ $ Thai  in  Brooklyn ,  Williamsburg $$$$ 170 S 3rd St Not

This new Thai cafe in Williamsburg is from the same family that runs Look by Plant Love House and it might be good enough to make our guide, Where To Get Brunch If You Hate Brunch. On Saturdays, Noods n’ Chill serves Chinese-Thai breakfast specials like rice porridge with stewed pork and cabbage omelettes from 11am to 4pm, but you can also get lunch or dinner here Tuesday through Sunday.
We checked out Noods n’ Chill and added it to our Hit List.
 Tabaré $$$$ 1006 Flushing Ave
For years, Tabare in Williamsburg was one of the few places in NYC that served Uruguayan food. But now, the team has opened a second location in Bushwick, which means you can get dishes like chivito completo (filet mignon on a sandwich with egg, bacon, ham, and cheese) for dinner before a night at Elsewhere or House of Yes.
 Emmy Squared UES $ $ $ $ Pizza  in  Upper East Side $$$$ 1426 3rd Ave Not

We checked out Bar Bête and added it to our Hit List.
 Adrian Gaut Bathhouse $$$$ 103 N 10th St
Bathhouse is an upscale Eastern European restaurant inside of a Costco-sized spa on 10th Street in Williamsburg. The head chef used to work at Eleven Madison Park, but now he’s serving borscht, duck legs, and boar sausage stew for lunch, dinner, and brunch inside a white brick-walled space with more indoor plants than windows.
Yafa $$$$ 4415 4th Ave
This new coffee shop in Sunset Park is serving Yemeni breakfast dishes like BEC samboosas and shakshuka all day, plus lunch options like lamb stew and fried chicken after 10am.

 Nitzan Rubin J. Bespoke $$$$ 121 E 27th St
If you’ve ever wanted to watch sports in a bar that serves an Old Fashioned with a spritz of chartreuse perfume, you’ll probably love J.Bespoke. This upscale cocktail bar in NoMad happens to have several TVs playing streams of people chasing a ball, but you could use it for anything.

 Mokyo Mokyo $$$$ 109 Saint Marks Pl
Mokyo is a Korean tapas spot in the East Village from the team behind Thursday Kitchen and like their first restaurant, this new one looks like a very nice garden apartment.

Redcrest is a new counter-service chicken spot in Bushwick. We like the the original location in Philly for decompressing with a plate of fried chicken.

It has almost the exact same menu, which has dishes like falafel with curry yogurt and lamb shawarma, plus a few new additions. The space looks like hundreds of other casuals spots with exposed brick walls and bottle-lined bars, but if the dishes here taste anything like they did at the Brooklyn location, you should make it #1 on your list of last-minute dinner places along 8th Ave.
We checked out Zizi and added it to our Hit List.
 Las Santas Las Santas $$$$ 572 Fulton St
