It’s a smaller list this week, but don’t sleep on it — these new openings are still very much worth your time. From cinnamon buns in the West Village to a buzzy rooftop cantina in the East Village, these are the spots you’ll want to casually name-drop before they’re packed.

As always, this isn’t about PartyPlace — these venues aren’t on our platform. This newsletter is just your way to stay in the know about what’s fresh in the city.

That said, if you’re planning a party, group dinner, or birthday hang, PartyPlace makes it easy to book amazing NYC spots with no upfront cost and no endless back-and-forth. Just search, pick your vibe, and lock it in.

Here’s what’s new:

Casasalvo

Chef Salvo Lo Castro brings Mediterranean tradition to SoHo with a multifunctional space serving everything from espresso and panini to refined dinner menus in a chic setting.

Benji’s Buns

A dedicated cinnamon-roll shop delivering pillowy, made-daily buns topped with everything from cream cheese icing to cookie crumbles.

Aloha Alley

A playful, neon-lit tiki bar in Alphabet City serving tropical cocktails and Japanese-inspired snacks — think lychee martinis, karaage, and moody late-night vibes just off Avenue A.

Bowery Bungalow

  • Middle Eastern–Mediterranean restaurant & lounge
  • SoHo: 359 W Broadway, New York, NY 10013
  • Instagram: @bowerybungalow

A new SoHo spot for smoky hummus, lamb chops, and date-night cocktails, all served in a moody, loungey setting built for long dinners and late vibes.

Breads Bakery – Brooklyn Bridge Park

The iconic bakery brings babka, burekas, and great coffee to the waterfront — plus live music and park views.
