Our food offering is bold, generous and rooted in closed-loop cooking and sustainability, with in-house butchery at the core. We want to honour the pub itself - a real public house steeped in history.

"In addition to our normal service, Babe's will be hosting restaurants and creators from New York City and around the country for tasting menu style dinners during peak summer weekends," Cavin said. "We are looking to curate a family friendly spot during the day, with a supper club in the evening worthy of hiring a babysitter."

The space that used to house contemporary ocakbasi restaurant The Counter, run by Turkish chef Kemal Demirasal, is soon flipping into the Berlin-inspired Kiez Kebab. Named after the Berlin term for a neighbourhood, Kiez Kebab will be a casual spot, decked out with steel, glass, concrete and walnut interiors and a bespoke sound system.

Ivy Stark, a longtime former executive chef of Dos Caminos, brings her veggie-forward concept, BKLYN Wild, to Time Out Market, Union Square, this week. Opened March 9, the Manhattan offshoot of her popular plant-based restaurant in Dumbo continues Stark's work in fine-dining kitchens, where she learned to "let plants shine-even before it became a trend."

For the uninitiated, gimbap is sort of like the Korean answer to Japanese sushi: the dish consists of cooked rice and various fillings rolled in dried seaweed and then sliced into biteable pieces.

We're standing in the kitchen of his new restaurant, Saverne - a "modern brasserie" named for a small town in Alsace - watching a cone of flames burst up and over the grates of a grill. He encourages me to take a sandwich, too. My teeth crunch through two slices of butter-griddled multigrain bread to find a puddle of melted Comté.

Christopher Kostow and his four-year-old bagel operation, Loveski Deli, was coming to San Francisco. And opening day is already here. The Chronicle had the news Wednesday, with Kostow telling the paper that he hopes people will see Loveski as "a lot more than a bagel shop" and not your average "Jew-ish" deli.

Raising Cane's chain is known for maintaining a strict menu focus—just chicken fingers with one signature dipping sauce, crinkle-cut fries, cole slaw and Texas toast. Customers may purchase a single chicken finger, a few as a combo, loaded on a sandwich or in large party packs.

Gordon Ramsay Restaurants - which launched in 1997 and now claims locations as far and wide as London, Singapore, South Korea, France and the US - has been awarded 17 Michelin stars throughout the years and currently holds eight.

Vy Chao chalks it up to 'user error,' pointing out how they would hunt after finishing work, during traditional American dinner hours. At the time, locals mainly ate paella for lunch; the versions served at dinner were usually made for tourists. But on a return trip last year they found better luck, and paella, noting that the city had adapted to tourists' dining habits.

Philadelphia restaurateur Michael Schulson opens Double Knot tomorrow, Wednesday, February 18, at 1251 Avenue of the Americas at West 50th Street; it's the first New York location of the Philadelphia restaurant that originally opened in 2016. The sprawling new space brings a 12,000-square-foot, bi-level izakaya to a Midtown corner across from Rockefeller Center that's been trying to reinvent itself for at least five years.

CROWN HEIGHTS, NY - Raising Cane's is opening their much-awaited Crown Heights location Wednesday morning with prizes, giveaways and performances that are sure to draw a crowd. The popular Southern fast-food chain is inviting neighbors to celebrate its newest New York City store - its 13th in the city since launching a massive Times Square flagship in 2023 - starting around 8 a.m.

A little more than a year ago, after running a successful pop-up called Ha's Đặc Biệt, the chefs Sadie Mae Burns and Anthony Ha opened Ha's Snack Bar, an itsy-bitsy restaurant on the Lower East Side. The Snack Bar, like the pop-up, served Vietnamese-inspired dishes that were clever, cheffy (and more than a bit French-inflected), and utterly cool without any sort of hauteur.

Her backyard shop, which she started during the COVID-19 pandemic, has been closed since the end of December in order to focus on her new place, and the regulars have noticed. "They're eager to come in and have the food, and have been calling nonstop for the past few weeks," Varela told Nosh in an interview a few weeks prior to soft opening, as she was setting up her new restaurant.

Despite the constant churn of new development on SE Division, the labyrinthine amalgam of interlocking structures that once housed the original Pok Pok has remained vacant for more than half a decade. The Northern Thai comfort food chain began as a food cart and ended as an empire, with outposts in LA, Las Vegas, and Brooklyn, along with a small constellation of Portland locations.

Ever since Noodle Inn on Old Compton Street went viral, it's had people queuing around the block for its hand-pulled biang biang noodles slapped down on the counter, and knife-cut noodles, cut off from blocks of dough straight into the pot. It became so popular that at the back end of 2025, a second site opened in the City, close to Liverpool Street station. And the team isn't losing any momentum as a third location is now on the way.

The co-owner of Kin Dee and Four Bowls Catering chats about moving to Ireland from South Africa - and why his new restaurant will be keeping it simple

It's shown up in movies and TV shows like The Simpsons, Arrested Development and Iron Man 2. The chain now boasts over 50 locations worldwide, including in Korea, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines and Japan, as well as in various cities around the U.S.

Flushing doesn't need another restaurant to prove it's a food destination-but it just got one anyway.

Founded in 2017, the brand has quickly expanded to more than 100 directly operated restaurants across China, Southeast Asia and Canada.

With its OTT decor, charming staff and more-than-decent food, this is a party not to be missed, says our food critic I didn't plan to be the first paying customer through the doors of Gloria Osteria's brand new Dublin restaurant, but that's how things worked out. Arriving a few minutes early for a 7pm reservation made weeks previously, we're prevented from entering the building - the former AIB bank on Westmoreland Street - by a red ribbon strung across the entrance.

The third branch of Padella - which follows the original location by Borough Market and a second in Shoreditch - is set to come to Soho next spring. The 80-seater restaurant will open at 2 Kingly Street, a decade after the first Padella launched. Run by the same team as Highbury's Trullo (the best Italian restaurant in London , according to Time Out), the much-loved Padella is known for its hand-rolled pasta, including their now-legendary pici cacio e pepe and pappardelle with beef shin ragù.
