In New York City restaurants open all year round but this season we're waiting for openings of several restaurants from well-known Daniel Boulud, Jean-Georges, and Andrew Carmellini as well as fresh offerings from rising talents.
Four Twenty-Five
Located in a new, 47-story office tower designed by Norman Foster. Founders hope to evoke the former Four Seasons restaurant, the celebrity magnet that closed in 2019. This new place checks many of the same boxes: Its art-filled, architecturally dramatic bar and the plush formal dining room above it — furnished by the architect in gray and burgundy — are tailor-made for a corporate clientele.
425 Park Avenue (56th Street). Late October.
Nomad Tea Parlour
It’s the work of Wilson Tang, who owns the Nom Wah Tea Parlor in Chinatown, and Mandy Zhang, a partner in Blue Willow. They chose NoMad as a young, happening neighborhood. The restaurant will offer dim sum, familiar Chinese American fare, and tea and cocktail service in a spacious setting.
244 Fifth Avenue (28th Street). November.
Coqodaq
Simon Kim, the restaurateur behind Cote, an elaborate Korean steakhouse in the Flatiron district (and Miami), will take on chicken Korean-style fried chicken with American touches. Small plates, notably pickled foods, will be served. The space, designed by the Rockwell Group, is dramatic, bronzed like the fried chicken, with a series of lighted arches defining seating areas.
12 East 22nd Street. November.
Café Carmellini
Since leaving Café Boulud in 2005, Andrew Carmellini and his partners have built a collection of New York restaurants. Now he is finally putting his name on a marquee at the new Fifth Avenue Hotel, in a 1907 bank building by McKim, Mead & White. Italian and French dishes will be served in a lavishly appointed dining room with tablecloths and an open kitchen. “I’m going to make this my culinary home,” he said. His lobster cannelloni with caviar just might become his signature. Mr. Carmellini’s group, NoHo Hospitality, will also run the bar and room service.
250 Fifth Avenue (28th Street). October.

Restaurant Marc Forgione
For his new flagship, Mr. Forgione, the chef and restaurateur, echoes the rustic look of his original location a few blocks away rather than replicating the gilded details of Danube and the Zen-like restraint of Brushstroke, the space’s previous occupants. He’ll serve seasonal American cuisine, the style that his father, Larry Forgione, was instrumental in fostering decades ago.
30 Hudson Street (Duane Street). Late fall.
