What to eat (and buy): La Mercerie offers your standard cafe fare, plus a little extra: Pretty much everything in the restaurant is for sale, from the croissants to the plates they’re served on. With your food you can also choose to take home dishes, napkins, candlesticks and even the flowers on the table, according to the New York Times. La Mercerie is located in the Roman and Williams Guild store. Right now the restaurant is serving goods from its bakery and coffee, but a complete menu will be served there soon.
Location: 30 Hudson St., Tribeca
The new noodle bar, opening in the former location of Brushstroke, is a speakeasy-style restaurant. If you don’t know to look for it, you’ll probably have a hard time finding it. The restaurant seats just 14 people, according to Eater.
Location: 154 Seventh Ave., Chelsea
What to eat: Steak. Ikinari is the highly-anticipated expansion of the Japanese restaurant chain that’s famous for its quick service and its standing-room-only style dining room. Although most of its restaurants don’t have chairs, the Chelsea location does include some tables with regular seats. The speedy restaurant only accepts walk-ins.
Where: 1100 Flushing Ave., Bushwick
What to drink: Cider. Brooklyn Cider House specializes in “Basque” cider, which is less sweet than a traditional grocery store variety of hard cider. The Brooklyn Cider House serves its own cider, which is brewed upstate, along with a prix-fixe, family-style dinner menu.
