Every week, we round up the new — the just-opened bars, restaurants, and spots popping up all over NYC.

To be clear: these aren’t on PartyPlace. This isn’t about reservations, packages, or events. It’s just what we’re seeing open around the city — the cool stuff worth having on your radar.

Think of this as your friend who always knows what just opened, what’s buzzy, and what’s lowkey awesome.

Know someone who wants to be that friend too? Forward this to them. Sharing is power.

Here’s what’s new over the past two weeks (July Fourth week got the best of us).

Baserri

A rustic-chic pintxos bar from a chef who spent years in Michelin-starred Basque kitchens, now serving anchovy skewers, grilled octopus, and txakoli in Greenpoint.

JR & Son

A new neighborhood bistro from the team behind Oxalis, serving elevated comfort food with seasonal edge in Crown Heights.

Cuerno

Upscale Mexican steakhouse with bold design, premium tequila, and shareable cuts opening steps from the High Line.

San Babila

A polished Milan-inspired café for daytime espresso and aperitivo-hour spritzes in SoHo — with all the terrazzo and gold fixtures you’d expect.

The Splendid

A glitzy Midtown cocktail lounge bringing polished service, Art Deco vibes, and pricey pours — equally suited for power plays and date nights.

Haymarket

A modern take on a classic tavern — cocktails, oysters, chops, and banquettes — in a handsome, history-nodding space in NoMad.

Palermo Bistro

Chimichurri, choripán, and Malbec in a warmly lit Gramercy space that feels equally casual and celebratory.

Taqueria Condesa

CDMX energy in the East Village with house-made tortillas, al pastor on the trompo, and micheladas to match.

Dumpling Xi

Fast-casual meets handmade at this new dumpling spot slinging soup dumplings, scallion pancakes, and crispy potstickers right off Union Square.

Aquarelle

A luxe, seafood-focused experience in Midtown with tasting menus, deep wine lists, and dreamy plating.

Farley's Sloppy Joes

The iconic Key West bar brings frozen drinks, fish sandwiches, and divey coastal charm to 42nd Street.

Fogo de Chão – FiDi

The upscale Brazilian steakhouse expands again with a massive new FiDi location — think endless cuts of meat, market table sides, and gaucho drama in a glassy new buildout.

That’s your weekly download.
