I went to Arvine, the brand new Greenwich Village spot from Adrien Falcon (Bouley, Keith McNally eating places) and chef Joe Anthony (Daniel, Union Square Cafe), and it’s terrific. It jogs my memory of Chambers or the Noortwyck wherein it’s a terrific place to drink super-interesting and unusual wines — however don’t name it a wine bar. The scallops or the clams can be my go-tos, however I favored the enjoyable of an enormous garlic knot ($14) served with a facet of puttanesca to begin. The expansive bar is a enjoyable perch, and now, there’s completely satisfied hour Tuesday by means of Friday from 5 to six:30 p.m.19 Greenwich Avenue, at West Eighth Street, Greenwich Village – Melissa McCart, lead eating editor, Northeast

Tera, a brand new all-day cafe and bar, not too long ago landed on the Lower East Side with espresso and tea through the day, and sool, anju, and wine within the evenings. Daytime brings espresso, a espresso omakase, and a tea service served within the semi-hidden tatami room, however stick round till 5 p.m. for a menu of small to mid-sized Korean snacks that pair effectively with makgeolli, soju, and wine. Start with the crispy kimchi chips and yuzukosho guacamole. Try each the jeon, with shrimp or pork, and the composed abalone jang bap, served in a shell and layered with oyster mushrooms. On chilly nights, or if you happen to want one thing comforting, scorching brothy gamte somen with pops of pickled shimeji awaits. 41 Essex Street, nearGrand Street, Lower East Side — Rebecca Roland, deputy editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest

Butter and salt would possibly as effectively be listed as components in Bar Oliver’s bikini ($12), the cafe-bar’s tackle the beloved Spanish ham-and-cheese sandwich you’ll discover throughout Barcelona. The “cafe-bar” distinction issues right here; that is an all-day, linger-friendly format that’s surprisingly exhausting to come back by in New York. The sandwich arrives as 4 petite triangles that look delicate however ship a full hit of buttery, ham-and-cheesy payoff. Paired with a nonalcoholic kalimotxo on a freezing evening in early January, it briefly made me really feel like I used to be elsewhere fully. 1 Oliver Street, at St. James Place, Chinatown — Patty Diez, affiliate director, model growth

The first meal of 2026, for me, needed to contain dumplings, so we positioned a takeout order from this Westchester Chinese restaurant. We shared the spicy rooster soup dumplings, with a vibrant purple exterior, giving approach to delightfully spicy-and-juicy shredded rooster. Each dumpling was positioned in its personal little foil container to make sure that it didn’t break. And the Colorado-based mini-chain is making its manner into Manhattan in some unspecified time in the future within the West Village. 709 White Plains Road, Scarsdale — Nadia Chaudhury, deputy editor, Northeast
