The new restaurant hopes to deliver barbecue flavors sans the meat, offering New Yorkers plant-based dishes that are also gluten free like the smoked main plate served with half a waffle plus your choice of coleslaw, baked beans, potato salad, charred broccoli salad, fried sweet potato bites or French fries. There’s a pulled jackfruit dish that calls for […]

Here’s yet another reason to visit Long Island City this season: The Summer Club is a new, reservations-only rooftop day club that just opened above Ravel Hotel.

Even as questions about the future of traditionally office-concentrated neighborhoods like midtown and the Financial District continue to make headlines, new restaurants and bars move into the formerly much buzzier areas.  Firenze Ristorante Toscano & Bar is the latest addition to the former, an Eataly operation on the third floor of 101 Liberty Street.

The bar program is first, where some of the $19 cocktails are named for local neighborhoods. The Astoria is made with blanc and dry vermouth, a gin blend, chrysanthemum, palo santo, and pickled honeydew.  The Red Hook mixes toasted coconut-infused rye, Italian vermouth, maraschino, and chocolate. And the Manhatta(n) starts with rye and adds bourbon, […]

Manhattan’s Little Italy is all about nostalgia, and one new red sauce joint is giving us a major throwback.  Opening on Thursday, March 31, Manero’s on Mulberry is a full-service restaurant by the owners of nearby Manero’s Pizza, which is known for its hybrid Neapolitan and NYC-style pizzas served by the slice. The new Italian restaurant is envisioned as […]

A glorious garden full of vibrant blooms is sprouting from the countertops and hanging from columns inside Macy’s Herald Square. It’s finally the annual Macy’s Flower Show—now through April 10—a signal that spring has most definitely arrived in NYC.
