NYC'S 21 BEST RESTAURANT AND BAR OPENINGS FROM NOVEMBER

This meat-centric restaurant (not a steakhouse) on 1st across from Extra Place Alley comes from Chef Josh Capon and the team behind great Soho spots Lure and B&B Winepub, as well as El Toro Blanco in the West Village. Together, they are delivering old-school sexy with the interior and massive meats with the menu, including 28oz dry-aged prime cote du boeuf from Diamond Creek Ranch, a beastly duck lasagna for two, and one of the best burgers we’ve had this month (/year!) -- a dry-aged patty topped with raclette, red onion jam, tomato, and garlic aioli.
