If you caught last week’s edition, you might’ve already name-dropped The Dynamo Room or scored a table at Le Chêne (nice work). If not — don’t worry, we’ve got plenty more where that came from.

Each week, we’re rounding up the newest bars, restaurants, and scene-y little gems opening across NYC — so you can make the reservation before it’s all over TikTok.

Forward this to a friend who loves being early — or just loves being the one people ask, “Wait… how did you hear about this place?”

Sweet Linda

A neon-edged East Village cocktail den blending creative drinks and late-night bites in a warm, downtown glow.

Palm Street

A new soft‑open Asian-fusion bar in FiDi, serving approachable, modern dishes in a sleek downtown space.

Sipsteria

A cozy espresso-by-day, organic-wine-by-night Georgian spot that doubles as a tapas haven on the Upper West Side.

BarChef

Frankie Solarik’s theatrical cocktail bar lands in NYC, featuring edible elements, dramatic presentation, and a retractable rooftop.

Maza

A delivery/take‑out‑focused Mexican spot in EV serving handmade tortillas, vegan‑friendly eats, and late‑night crispy burritos.

Rivareno Gelato

SoHo gets a scoop of award‑winning Italian gelato made fresh daily—bold flavors, rich textures, and true artisanal craftsmanship.

Pho Real

A minimalist Midtown pho joint near Bryant Park, serving hot bowls and fast-casual Vietnamese staples.

I’m donut ?

Tokyo’s viral nama‑donut concept debuts in Times Square, combining minimalist design with fluffy, flavor-packed sweet & savory doughnuts.

That’s a wrap on this week’s drops.

Keep showing up first, ordering the best thing on the menu, and casually saying, “Oh yeah, it just opened.”
