San Sabino

113 Greenwich Avenue

The chef’s behind Don Angie have opened up another delicious restaurant, San Sabino, named after the patron saint of the village of Sanza, whose legend was not dying after drinking poison.

Sappe

240 West 14th Street

The team behind Soothr has opened up another tasteful Thai restaurant nestled in the West Village. Highlighting the train market and street food style of Thailand in the 1950s to 1960s, Sappe offers maximalist cocktails, spicy salads, and fresh off the grill skewers.

Eel Bar

252 Broome Street

From the chefs behind Cervo’s , Eel Bar is somewhere between an Iberian wine bar and a full-blown restaurant. The food menu spotlights an outstanding tapas selection, a Basque-inspired burger, and a delicious rainbow trout with pil-pil. Meanwhile the U-shaped European-inspired bar’s menu spotlights a delicious selection of wines, cocktails and vermouths.

Omakase by Korami

400 West 50th Street

Omakase by Korami embodies the Japanese concept of Kaiseki Ryori, referring to a simple and meditative meal that exemplifies values of harmony, balance, and an appreciation for craftsmanship. Incorporating the idea of Kaiseki Ryori into his kitchen, Chef Allen San gives each bite the finest attention to detail, crafting each creation with the highest quality ingredients, and creating a small and intimate experience for each and every one of his guests.

Beef Bar

105 Hudson Street

One of only seven restaurants in New York to be part of the Kobe Beef Association, Beef Bar offers exceptionally high quality beef, from cuts of Wagyu to 45 day dry-aged beef. Whether you’re ordering the Wagyu Bolognese with 101-month-aged parmesan or the Beefy Cordon Bleu, the menu features a delicious selection of beef-centric dishes from around the globe.

Raf’s

290 Elizabeth Street

From the women-led team behind the Musket Room, Raf’s is both a sophisticated French and Italian sit-down restaurant and a pastry-haven, serving baked goods from the early morning to late evening. Their fine-dining dinner menu places an emphasis on wood-fired dishes, featuring a juicy and crispy half chicken and a beautifully plated escargot. Meanwhile, their bakery is inspired by viennoiserie techniques, starring delicacies such as a prosciutto croissant and a cacio e pepe scone.
