UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — The Upper West Side recently saw two new restaurants open in the neighborhood.

The first is a popular barbecue joint with a Times Square location expanding to the Upper West Side.

The second is a kosher and Mediterranean restaurant that will offer brick oven pizzas from an Italian family recipe.

Virgil's opened in the past few days at Broadway between 90th and 91st Street.

"Virgil's prides itself on its famous barbeque and exceptional comfort food, bringing 26 years of southern home-style cooking from the heart of Times Square, NY to the Upper West Side locals, workers and large group of foodies," according to its website.

Noi Due Cafe opened its new location at 491 Columbus Avenue, between 83rd and 84th Streets.

The kosher and Mediterranean restaurant means the "two of us" in Italian and is a concept that is symbolic of the restaurant's founders.

"The love story of Noi Due — which means the two of us in Italian — begins when restauranteur Israeli Golan Chetrit, and his Italian American wife Imma, set out to open a concept that is symbolic of their union. Together, they bring novel and contemporary red sauce fare to vegetarian and kosher diners," reads a message on the restaurant's website.
