HOT NYC Restaurant Openings and New Dishes! 4/24

Another week, and another roundup of some incredible new restaurants and dishes in NYC! Here are the best ones that I found!

NADC BURGER

I have had NADC Burger, that’s “not a damn chance” on my Chicago list for awhile, so I was psyched to see that this smashburger spot is coming to NYC May 16 in Soho! The big difference in this burger from michelin starred chef Phillip Frankland Lee? The jalapenos!

PHILLIPE CHOW

Philippe Chow is launching a new happy hour at their Chelsea location only, dubbed “Dragon Hour” which has a menu of drinks and small plates ranging from $5-$10. Think satays, dumplings, and spring rolls!

KINGS CO IMPERIAL

Kings Co Imperial is launching their new family style menu called “Lucky Table” on May 15th! These are going to be made for groups of 4 or more and come in 3 different varieties, each starting with their pu pu platter. The Jade Buddha is veggie and $65 per person and comes with bok choy and shitake pot stickers, veggie egg rolls, dry fried long beans, and salt and pepper tofu. The Red Pine is also $65 per person and that comes with pork long dumplings, copper well street noodles, dry fried long beans, and general tso chicken. And finally The Imperial is $80 per person and comes with soup dumplings, sesame shrimp toast, hot and sour soup, wok seared pea shoots, fried rice, and a choice of either beef and broccoli chow fun, or a crispy whole fish. credit: Kings Co Imperial / Julian Bracero

BAR BLONDEAU

Bar Blondeau at the Wythe Hotel is opening their terrace for the summer season! They have a menu full of locally made spirits, an afternoon tea service, and on the new spring menu you can find a charcuterie plate, petite steak au poivre, and a blondie sundae with baked banana bread!

THE RESIDENCE OF MR. MOTO

I really enjoyed my dinner at The Residence of Mr. Moto, so I’m psyched to see that they are launching a Japanese Brunch Menu! It’s their version of the Japanese set breakfasts which will feature a soup, seasonal side dishes, white rice, and then you can expect miso black cod, unagi, and more! The coffee even sounds amazing! It’s a Japanese Siphon Coffee which is infused with seasonal fruits!

iPPUDO V

ippudo V is the all new vegan, plant based ramen offshoot of the original, opening in Brooklyn! They have four broths- tonkotsu, shoyu, miso, and chicken, that all use plant based ingredients to replicate the flavors of the originals. Even the noodles are now egg free and packed with extra protein and fiber! On top of that they have a number of different vegan appetizers, rolls, sandwiches, and dessert!

BREADS BAKERY

Cheesecake May is back at Breads Bakery from May 1-June 2nd! On the special menu this year is their cheesecake babka, cheesecake rugelach, basque cheesecake, fromage blanc cheesecake, strawberry cheesecake bun, baked brie bun, and pashtida which is a savory cheesecake with brie, egg, onions, and potatoes.
