The Best New Places To Eat In NYC

MANHATTAN, NY — Picking a restaurant in NYC can be daunting, with hundreds of different options that change frequently. Every week, Patch rounds up the best new restaurants and bars that have opened throughout the city. Here are the best new spots to grab dinner or a drink this weekend.

Grünhaus

Where: 101 Rivington St., Lower East Side

What to ear: Sausages, soft pretzels, dipping sauces and beer. This new Lower East Side beer hall promises lots of beer, sausages and dipping sauces and Jenga. The bar comes from the team behind Spritzenhaus in Williamsburg. The beer hall can be transformed into a “breezy beer garden” with its windows open, according to the bar's owners, and includes lots of communal tables for a spacious round of beers.

Peachy's

Where: 5 Doyers St., Chinatown

What to drink: Fancy cocktails in a speakeasy-style space. Peachy's is located beneath Chinese Tuxedo, the trendy Chinatown restaurant with a varied menu. The downstairs space promises to be just as hip as Chinese Tuxedo, but the bar has a no-photos policy, meaning you can't Instagram your night out. The drinks menu includes standard cocktails plus more expensive options that are made with "superfoods" added into the mix.

Maman and Mimi

Where: 20 Prince St., Nolita

What to eat: A hearty meal with French and Algerian influences. The dinner menu includes dishes like lamb couscous, quinoa taboulet and merguez frites. The restaurant takes its name from the owner's grandma and grandpa, who he called Maman and Mimi, and whose home cooking influence much of the restaurant's style.

Andaz Kitchen & Bar

Where: 75 Wall St., Financial District

What to eat: Meals with multiple influences, inspired by cuisines from Italy, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Philippines, Vietnam and the U.S. The menu includes dishes like handmade Ravioli with ricotta, anchovies, red peppers, parsley and Parmigiano Reggiano, the Kentucky-inspired Bourbon Mash Risotto with roasted corn, barley, malt, smoked blue cheese, ash and saba, or the Philippine inspired Chicken Adobo, served with bok choy and garlic fried rice, according to the restaurant. Drinks include craft cocktails and standard fare.
