Q Kola From Q Drinks Is Organic

A cola low on the syrup, this sticks to classic cola style, bitter, thanks to kola nut. Mix these in your Rum and Coke for a more nuanced flavor. Get some here!

Hot Bread Kitchen

Peacefood Cafe

The Summit Bar

Palmer's

This area of Downtown Brooklyn was desperate for a good neighborhood spot. Luckily this place delivers with excellent homemade tea sodas, pierogi and a serious Cobb salad.

AG Kitchen

Little Muenster Tiny Takeout

Dumbo welcomes this new spot for fancy grilled cheeses (think goat Gouda with candied ginger and Muenster), as well as tomato and seasonal soups, salads and desserts. See the menu.

Saint & Olive's Biscottis Are Amazing - San Francisco

Olive Loew's biscotti range from the tried and true (fig-and-anise) to the outré (Cheddar-apple). Our favorite, the peanut-butter-molasses, is both nostalgic and refined.

Cousins Maine Lobster

Harlem Public

Harlem has this new bar for craft beer and spirits. A food menu is imminent.

The Savoy

Arami

Two new menu sections make a (re)visit to this West Town restaurant a must. After a brief closure, the West Town Japanese go-to reopened with a robata grill and a selection of tsukemono (Japanese-style pickles). Alternate bites from each, and finish with a sushi spread. See our previous coverage.

Slate Wine Bar

Earl's Sandwiches

Now open in Ballston, this beloved Arlington sandwich shop makes a fantastic Cubano. The new location has a liquor license and will soon serve dinner.

Paladar

Elizabeth

Noon-O-Kabab

Not in the mood to fire up the grill? Head to this classic North Side Persian restaurant for a grilled-meat or seafood feast, accompanied by dill-flecked basmati rice, grilled tomatoes and shallot-packed yogurt to drape over the top.

L.A. Creamery's New Ice Cream Flavors - L.A.

Adam Fleischman’s L.A. Creamery.

The Pines

The Littleneck team has joined with Angelo Romano (of the late great Masten Lake) to open this Gowanus restaurant. Dishes include sqaush with house-made tofu, smoked tomato and bottarga. See the menu.

Mandalay

Men Oh Ramen

Now that San Francisco has finally decided to get serious about ramen, a task that L.A. embarked on years ago, Japanese noodle shops have come calling. Men Oh Ramen is a chain based in Tokushima, Japan, and its signature noodle soup, with a soy-shaded pork-bone broth, two kinds of pork on top, and a raw egg, is ridiculously rich but not as gut-busting as you might expect. See our previous coverage.

Lolinda

Alfred's Steakhouse

Sketch Ice Cream

El Chucho

The roof deck at this Columbia Heights newcomer is the best place to sample swirled frozen margaritas with a chile-lined rim. Complete the order with a fabulously messy torta. See our previous coverage .

MAU

Sante Salvoni, a Slow Club alumnus, opened this Mission restaurant over the weekend. Given the name stands for "Modern Asian Urban," look for dishes inspired by the street food of Vietnam, Thailand and Laos.
