New & Noteworthy
There are so many openings that piqued my interest but for some reason, I am not in any rush to add any to the list this week. Call it tasting menu/ramen/pop-up fatigue and disinterest in schlepping to Hudson Yards to visit the Equinox Hotel. That said, folks with pedigrees from NYC and indeed all over the world are opening their doors. These include Luthun, Tenho Ramen, and Mastercard Priceless’ Lyaness, Teruzushi and The Rock installations.
I have removed Bar Wayō and Bar Pisellino from the list.
