Word On the Street: NYC Openings and More
Sometimes it seems like, in NYC, news about what’s opening is more important than the news itself. Being in the know about a new spot is, like, the coolest, and we don’t want you, dear reader, to be out of the loop, to panic when you’re asked to pick a spot for dinner or drinks and all you can think of is Westville (though we do have a lot of love for Westville). Here, a list of new and coming-soon places you’ll be eating, partying, and visiting this Fall, to make you look like you’re “cool” and “hip” [Insert Doctor Evil voice]. Oh, and some things to read.
