Just Opened in NYC: Restaurants, Bars & More (7/24)
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.
