Sometimes chain restaurants land with fanfare like Raising Cane’s did in the East Village not long ago, but other times they creep into a neighborhood nearly unannounced. Such was the case recently with G’s Cheesesteaks, also in the East Village. The brand was founded by Giacomo Pisano in 2015 in Staten Island’s Port Richmond, and subsequently established branches on the Jersey Shore in Point Pleasant and Toms River.

Charlotte, NC

When the Prime Fish brand debuted in Charlotte in 2020, yakitori — let alone an omakase experience built around yakitori — was nowhere on anyone’s bingo card. With the flagship Prime Fish branch, Charlotte diners were at last treated to high-quality Edomae-style sushi that, for once in the 704 area code, didn’t need cream cheese, avocado, or jalapeño slices thrown haphazardly about. This was special sushi — reminiscent of the kind only found in the members-only sushi counters hidden in the Ginza back alleys of Tokyo — filled with luxe ingredients like otoro, uni, caviar, and even more caviar.

Minneapolis, MN

Italian Eatery and Un Dito owners Eric and Vanessa Carrara, who closed their south Minneapolis sister restaurants earlier this summer, have officially listed the property on the market. Carrara says that the pair was initially looking for a new tenant to move into the space, but when they announced the restaurants’ closures, they were met with a flood of offers to buy. “We want to find an operator that’s right for the neighborhood that we can pass the baton to,” he says. “That’s what’s most important to us, rather than selling to a developer or apartment complex or something like that.”

Many Houstonians were delighted when Lady M Confection, the New York-based boutique mille crepe cake shop with an international following, finally opened its first Texas location in Houston last year. Unlike some of its other locations, the bustling Galleria outpost was most conducive to takeout. But now, with the opening of its second Houston shop — which is also the largest, most elegant outpost in the United States — diners can now order their mille crepe at Lady M in Houston and eat it with a glass of Champagne, too.
