The corner of Broadway and West 112th Street is about to get more delicious: Upside Pizza and its frosty offshoot Softside Ice Cream will each open outposts at 2878A Broadway, taking over the former Liberty House space. Aimed at “elevating the New York slice experience,” the local pizza chain from...

When you see a sage-colored sponge cake or green-dusted chicken tenders, you might assume it's one of the city's many matcha-flavored creations. But it might actually be flavored with pandan leaves, instead! The Southeast Asian herb gives pineapple-head vibes, a nutty fragrance and a sweet, vanilla flavor. Now, a new NYC restaurant pop-up is giving pandan the spotlight.

A new taco joint is always exciting news, but even more so when it's one clandestinely set in a hidden courtyard. Case in point: Tacalle, a street-level taqueria tucked away behind Midtown’s new Grayson Hotel (19 W 38th Street). Just a few blocks from Bryant Park, the hotel's quaint backyard feature a show-stopping mural, colorful flags, twinkling bistro lights and a vintage food truck turning out fresh tacos, margaritas and more.

Little Grenjai first got on our radar with its Thai and American mash-up, the Krapow Smash Burger—a gushed-about item from their summer pop-up days. The smash burger is still one of its most popular bites, so much so that the phrase, “Burger is only available for lunch” is stamped all over its website. And it is no surprise why. Here, the burger is seasoned with chili, basil, and oyster sauce before it's smashed and dressed with a lemongrass and bird’s eye chili giardiniera. One bite, and we were sold. But something tells us that its upcoming collaboration with a local Detrioit-style eatery will have us hooked, too.

We know food halls in NYC—hell, we have one of our very own—so we're always interested when we hear of a new multi-vendor dining court opening in the city, especially when it's at a notable address. The General Electric Building at 570 Lexington Avenue has already played host to one of the city's most high-profile food halls, UrbanSpace, since 2018 and now a fresh new food-hall concept is moving on in.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

The NYC forecast is looking hotter than Satan's taint these next few days, so any cooldown methods are much appreciated as we all fight off this horrendous 90-degree heat wave. Graciously, the folks over at Wayback Burgers—the Connecticut-based patty purveyors who recently debuted their first NYC location in Chelsea—have perfectly timed their Free Shake Day to coincide with the heat wave.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Is it still the Summer of the Croissant™? Has it never not been the Summer of the Croissant™? Yes, New York's obsessive love affair with the flaky French pastry very much endures—joining an already packed pâtisserie pantheon that includes Indian-spiced crescents, onigiri-inspired fusion treats and rainbow cookie croissants comes a heap of viral “Crookies,” “Cruffins” and more from a Smorgasburg NYC staple.

New York – As Trump anticipates his sentencing on July 11th in the New York hush money case, Florida Judge Aileen Cannon made a ruling this Monday. Despite rejecting Trump’s legal team's request to dismiss several charges in the classified documents case, she conceded on a minor point. She removed a portion of the charges that referenced an uncharged allegation, but upheld the other charges.
