Unregular Pizza
Unregular Pizza , which started as a barter system with founder Gabriel Lamonaco, now has a third location (14 East 37th St) in Midtown under its belt. What makes Lamonoco’s pies so special are the unique flavor combinations and the 90-plus hours it takes to prepare the crust. It is especially known for its Burra Pizzas. Whole burrata, pepperoni, and hot honey anyone?
Now you can catch an upscale 15-course Korean dinner before you catch the F-Train. Noksu is a 12-seat tasting counter located near the entrance of the 32nd Street Station at Herald Square. The menu is predominantly seafood including finned fish, shellfish and game fish. Guests enter using a special access code. Reservations required. We didn’t see a price, but the cancellation fee is $225.
Chef Missy Robbins has opened a new pasta shop and restaurant, called MisiPasta, at 46 Grand Street in Williamsburg where Italian specialties, fresh pasta and cocktails are offered. Look for things like grilled artichoke sandwiches, and spicy slow roasted eggplant. Several types of pastas are sold by the pound, including spaghetti, rigatoni and pappardelle as well as freshly made pasta sheets for lasagna.

NY Bakery and Desserts opens a new location in the heart of Times Square at 1580 Broadway. The shop is serving up whole cakes, including Strawberry Shortcake, Funfetti, Chocolate Raspberry and Carrot Cake. Visitors will also find an assortment of cupcakes, pastries, sandwiches and more.
La Rose Pizza
La Rose Pizza has opened in Brooklyn’s Cobble Hill (150 Smith St) where it is serving up its signatuire Detroit-style pies. The pies which serve one to two people come in flavors like the Gonzo (cheese blend, sauce, pepperoni, Gorgonzola, Calabrian chili honey, Sicilian oregano, pecorino and basil) and the Moby Dick (cheese blend, sauce, anchovies, boquerones, pecorino and parsley). Prices range from $19-$32.
Coffee for Sasquatch, which is basically named for the owner’s height, is a quirky spot at 384 Broome Street in NoLiTa. The LA import is serving up your traditional espresso, latte and americano along with a Cubano and turmeric latte. Pastries and light bites are also sold.

Kotti Berliner Döner Kebab is expanding to Chelsea with a new location at the Olly Olly Market Food Hall at 601 West 26th Street. The restaurant is known for its authentic German-style Döner kebabs served as sandwiches, wraps and in bowls.
Dudleys, a popular spot for its craft cocktails, now has a window counter called Dudleys Deli serving up refreshers likes Strawberry Mint Lemonade and Watermelon juice. Visitors will also find soft serve ice cream (vanilla, chocolate, swirl) with rotating sundaes. Among the special Aussie Sundaes is the Koala Crackle with vanilla, chocolate shell, coco rice crispies, and the Tim Ran Slam with vanilla, tim tams (chocolate biscuits) and caramel.

Memphis Seoul, which got its start in Crown Heights, now has a location in Manhattan at 123 First Ave. The restaurant is known from its Bulgogi Meatloaf sandwich topped with its sizzling Seoul Sauce, and its Riverboat Fried Chicken with spicy Gangnam style sauce. Fried Catfish Strips and Loaded Tiger Tots also make an appearance on the menu.
Di Fara’s Pizza is branching out into sandwiches. The shop called 1012 Kitchen is located just a short distance away from the original Di Fara’s at 1012 East 15th Street in Brooklyn. Heroes include Italian classics like Potato & Egg, Meatball, Chicken Parm, Eggplant Parm and Sausage & Peppers.
