NYC Restaurants To Try Tonight

SOHO, 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.

This week, check out a new pastry shop in the Meatpacking District, a Danish brewery in Queens, and more.

sherry b dessert studio

Location: 643 Hudson St., Meatpacking District

What to eat: Every kind of dessert imaginable. Sherry b dessert studio began generating a cult following when it first opened in Chappaqua, New York in 2012. Now, the pastry shop has opened its first outpost in Manhattan. The shop is famous for its ice cream cake sandwiches, which come in flavors like purple velvet (cream cheese ice cream sandwiched between purple velvet cake) and blackout (dark chocolate ice cream with layers of fudge on chocolate cake). If the concoctions available behind the counter aren't to your liking, you can also choose any two cookies and a filling to make your own sandwich. The menu also includes sweet treats like stuffed brownies with caramel, mocha or chocolate peanut butter fillings.

Mikkeller

Location: Flushing Meadows Park, 126 Street and 38th Avenue, Queens

What to drink: Beer. This famed Danish brewery is opening its first outpost in New York City with a 10,000-square foot brewery inside Citi Field. The massive space includes a beer production area with fermentors, along with a bar and communal space. The brewery will be open year round, to sports fans and non-ticket holders alike. Mikkeller will serve a rotating tap of 60 beers, plus food. The grand opening is on Sunday. You can read more here.

George's

Location: 35-11 35th Ave., Astoria

What to eat: George's is the second iteration of The Astor Room, the Queens restaurant inspired by the Kaufman Astoria Studios. The menu includes the Coca Cola Pork Shop, which, as it sounds, is a pork shop made with the soda in the marinade. You can see the full menu here.

La Maison De Makoto

Location: 74-76 Seventh Avenue South, West Village

What to eat: Mochi ice cream, the bite-sized serving of gelato made with Japanese mochi, or pounded sticky rice. La Maison De Makoto will specialize in Mochi, along with pastries and other salty bites in the West Village. At night, the space will turn into a cocktail lounge.
