We’re heading into the last few months of a strange year full of the unexpected. Luckily, New York knows how to keep the city entertained and inspired - with great food!
Despite the tough economic circumstances that came with Covid, many new restaurants have found a foothold, while established and beloved restaurants invent new ways to celebrate the holidays with company collaborations and special menus.
We’ve gathered a list of new restaurant openings, collaborations and menus coming to Manhattan this winter for your enjoyment. From American tastings at the new Gray Hawk Grill, to new winter drinks at ROKC and NR, we encourage you to make December memorable and support local business with one of these restaurants.
