As Tropical Storm Debby makes its way through the East Coast, curl up inside and catch up on the stories we brought you this week; they might even inspire your post-hibernation plans (and for more ideas, check out our weekend roundup).
Case in point—summer is generally a sleepy time for splashy restaurant openings, but our site was chock-full of food-related stories.
Tabu, a Tulum-inspired club/restaurant just opened at the former Ten Hope space. The team from the highly acclaimed Four Horsemen is opening up a new, larger, Italian-inspired spot. Taqueria el Chato, from the folks behind Aldama, will open later this month in the Manhattan Avenue storefront that used to be home to Screamer’s Pizza. Further down the line (we’re talking December here), the buzzy PopUp Bagels will expand with a location in Williamsburg.
We spoke to Samantha Short, pastry chef at Nura and Pan Pan Vino Vino.
