While we wait for our very own Three Kings outpost “Rice & Gold” to open we suggest these nearby newbies:

BITES SIGHTS

Chinese Tuxedo A new contemporary Chinese restaurant set in a former The Metropolitan Museum of Art has expanded to it’s opera house on historic Doyers Street just a short walk from original location at the Breuer Building (once home to the our hotel. Whitney). The granite and concrete “Monster of Mad Ave” houses contemporary and modern art in its beautifully stark Hotel Chantelle galleries. 945 . This Lower East Side fave is a lot of things and a hotel is not one of them. A rooftop restaurant and subterranean dancehall The Dumbo Flea sandwich a vintage bar that features performances and The Dumbo Flea is buzzin’ like a beehive. Sundays thru the surprises. Fall enjoy the sprawling vendors hocking treasure galore. Just blocks from Brooklyn Bridge Park, this is sure to be a sweet hood this Summer. Anchorage Place, Brooklyn. De Maria One of the hottest spots in NYC right now due to its colorful salads, healthy grain bowls and gorgeous clientele. Sidewalk seating is akin to a runway show. Look out for their basement bar coming later this Summer.

Attaboy This hidden gem on the Lower East Side’s Eldridge Street was home to the famous speak-easy Milk & Honey. Well, the bartenders stayed behind and now run Attaboy, the tiny, exclusive, no-reservations cocktail haven that is carrying the torch. 134 Eldridge Street. No phone, no website.

YAF Sparkle It could be that LES energy or the allure of Orchard Street's funky shops, but there is some magic or "spark" emanating from these particular boutiques. Yaf and Torsten Flaegel run their 2 location-passion project as a jewelry shop, but their product is imbued with such love its clear they're selling more than tangible treasure, it's magic. No wonder INSTORE Magazine recently voted them one of America's Coolest Stores. 158 Orchard Street near Stanton & 249 Broome between Orchard and Ludlow.
