Checking out Sawa in Park Slope and Huda in Williamsburg
Two Levantine restaurants have recently opened in Brooklyn that have modernized traditional dishes. Both have all the accoutrements of the modern bistro, including sleek designs, creative cocktails, carefully constructed wine lists, and a limited menu that pushes boundaries.
Here, we compare dishes between Sawa in Park Slope (75 Fifth Avenue, at Prospect Place), which opened earlier this month, and characterizes itself as a modern Lebanese restaurant; and Huda, which debuted in William ..read more

Royal red shrimp caught off Montauk is catching attention on some high-end menus
Americans eat more than 1.5 billion pounds of shrimp a year, making it by far our most popular seafood. Most of the shrimp we buy at the fish market, grocery store, or at a restaurant comes from abroad, which carries with it a multitude of issues, from forced labor to the high carbon footprint caused by shrimp farming. When wild shrimp is US-harvested, it’s pulled in-season from the waters off Louisiana, Texas, Florida, and the Carolinas. Increasingly, though, a s ..read more

Last April, restaurateurs Steve Hanson and Alex Gaudelet (who make up Hospitality Firm) first announced they’d be taking over underperforming Urbanspace food halls, the latest move in a string of attempts to make food halls viable. This past week, New York Post reported they’d be relaunching the five locations, now under the HF Food Halls umbrella. “We are acquiring each of the halls individually and rebranding them,” Gaudelet told the Post.

Mission Chinese classics: ma po tofu and kung pao pastrami.
A return to the classics — and a few new dishes, too
A few days ago, Mission Chinese popped up on the premises of Cha Kee, a restaurant in the heart of Chinatown at 43 Mott Street, at Bayard Street, that debuted in 2021 with a Japanese-influenced Chinese menu. On its Instagram account, it announced Mission Chinese was taking over the space at 5 p.m. every Wednesday through Sunday through the end of the summer, while Cha Kee would serve a Hong Kong-style bill of fare in the morning and afternoon.

Daphne’s opens in Bed-Stuy
For anyone who wants to open a Brooklyn Italian restaurant that feels like it has something new to say, they’ll probably want to do away with conventions: gingham red-and-white tablecloths and chicken Parm, as lovable as they are, need not apply. Daphne’s, opening on Saturday, April 20, bears little resemblance to the red sauce joints that co-owners Gary Fishkop and Paul Cacici, grew up with in Sheepshead Bay, and the North End of Boston, respectively.

A gleaming new entranceway leads to the downstairs mall.
Plus the layout of the updated stalls
The opening of Flushing’s Golden Mall, 41-28 Main Street, near 41st Road, marked a major turning point in the city’s romance with Chinese food. The basement food court opened in 1990, but it wasn’t until the early aughts that it began to attract widespread attention. Chowhound posted excited descriptions of every stall, and soon food celebrities joined the crowds stumbling down the rickety stairs into its maze-like premises, including Jonathan Gold, Jamie Oliver, Anthony Bourdain, and Eric Ripert.
