The Buzzy New York City Restaurant Openings to Know in Spring 2025
Spring has sprung—and so have a number of new restaurants in New York City. Wondering which ones are worth the Resy alert? Vogue decided to give its readers a rundown, below.
From a fine dining restaurant inside the just-opened Printemps run by a James Beard Award-winning chef, to an Italian restaurant in Williamsburg by the beloved team behind Kellogg’s Diner, here are the places that very much should be on your radar.
JR & Son
Opening in Williamsburg is JR & Son, a restaurant from the same team behind beloved Kellogg’s Diner. It will be helmed by Chef Patricia Vega, who previously worked at Thai Diner. The menu is Italian inspired: dishes include chicken parmesan and branzino with brown butter carrot puree and salsa verde.

There are five food and beverage concepts at Printemps (the buzzy financial department store that advertises itself as anything but). Most notable among them? Maison Passerelle, the full service restaurant by James Beard Award-winning chef Gregory Gourdet. Its dynamic menu, which includes cane syrup glazed duck with pineapple and tamarind jus and a strip steak rubbed in an organic Haitian coffee chili and spice mix, explores that complicated culinary legacy left by French colonialism—and how those colonies influenced French cuisine right back. All of this is served amid a beautiful interior by AD100 designer Laura Gonzalez, which includes a mural by David Roma.
Bar Bianchi
From the restaurant group behind Downtown Manhattan hotspots like The Nines and Le Dive comes Bar Bianchi, a new restaurant inspired by fashionable Milan cafés like Bar Luce and Bar Basso as well as Italian aperitivo culture. Space-age style scones pay homage to Italian modernism, whereas a zinc and Formica bar acts as the space’s statement centerpiece. The Italian menu includes veal Milanese and rigatoni with sausage, peas, and pink sauce.
