Spooky Bites at Foul Witch
On Friday, June 13, Foul Witch sets the mood with a spooky Italian-inspired dinner from Chef Carlo Mirarchi and guest chef Danny Bowien (Mission Chinese Food). Expect eerie charm and bold flavors like wood-fired dry-aged cumin lamb saddle, Bowien’s famed pesto, and other one-night-only dishes. Dinner starts at 5pm, walk-ins only.

Brunch the Greek Way
At Nerina in Greenpoint, weekends mean tsoureki French toast with fresh berries, chicken souvlaki with grilled tomato, baklava granola yogurt bowl, and more Greek-inspired brunch dishes served from 11am–3:30pm. Dine in or on their outdoor patio.

Cocktails in the Clouds
Perched 850 feet above Rockefeller Center, The Weather Room at Top of the Rock pairs panoramic skyline views with elevated cocktails and shareable bites. Look for creative plates from Chef Ryan Farrar—yes, there’s a hot dog—and martinis with a New York wink. Get a first look here
