First Impressions: L’Appart
There's a fine-dining restaurant hidden within Le District at Brookfield Place, and it's rather good, if occasionally a little awkward. / 6 comments
New Kid on the Block: Perpetuum Café
Just over two years after opening the first Perpetuum Café in Chelsea, Can Ruan has debuted a second one. The former Mobile X store has been renovated into a crisp, high-ceilinged room with a handful of low tables, free wi-fi, and Toby's Estate Coffee.
First Impressions: Schilling
Schilling feels like somewhere that could exist in another, livelier neighborhood. As for the food, both times it was far better than anyone who has eaten widely in FiDi would expect. (Yes, I'm grading on a curve.) / 3 comments
First Impressions: Augustine
Augustine looks like the very definition of a sophisticated, lively restaurant. As at Keith McNally's other restaurants, however, you might find yourself wishing that the food could be as satisfying as the sense of place. / 3 comments
First Impressions: iPic Fulton Market
The fancy new movie theater in the Seaport gets a thumbs-up for the seats. It'll earn another thumb if the movies become more interesting. / 6 comments
First Impressions: Yves
Yves is a stripped-down departure from the owners of Smith & Mills and Navy, but with fussier food (at least at dinner). / 4 comments
First Impressions: Fowler & Wells
The first restaurant to open in the Beekman hotel is Tom Colicchio's Fowler & Wells, serving Frenchified New American fare in a genteel room. / 2 comments
First Impressions: Schnippers
The fifth outpost of the burgeoning Schnippers fast-food chain is an upgrade, with a nicer interior and real tableware instead of paper and plastic.
First Impressions: Cut
Almost every other new restaurant in recent years has gone for the hand-crafted, artisanal aesthetic, but this outpost of the Cut chain is far more Vegas than Brooklyn. / 5 comments
First Impressions: Harold’s Meat + Three
Chef Harold Moore, formerly of Commerce, has opened an all-day restaurant in the new Arlo hotel. It's a contemporary take on a Southern cafeteria, where you choose a main dish and a trio of sides. / 4 comments
First Impressions: La Pizza & La Pasta at Eataly
The most popular restaurant at the new Eataly is focused on pizza and pasta, as its name makes clear. / 7 comments
First Impressions: Il Pesce at Eataly
The new downtown location of Eataly has five restaurants. The first to be reviewed: Il Pesce, which is focused on seafood. / 17 comments
