Where To Eat This Weekend In NYC

EAST VILLAGE, NY — Looking for the best new place to grab dinner on Saturday night? Patch has you covered. Here's our weekly round-up of new restaurants and bars in New York City.

This week, check out a speakeasy-style bar and restaurant in Midtown, a Southern French takeout spot in the East Village, and more.

Rag Trader

Where: 70 W. 36 St., Midtown

What to eat: Classic American. The new restaurant and bar Rag Trader opened in Midtown recently and is serving up new versions of standard dishes. The restaurant is inspired by the 1940's Garment District and even includes its own speakeasy, Bo Peep, a cocktail and piano bar.

Pinky's Space

Location: 70 E. First St., East Village

What to eat: Southern favorites with a twist: Pinky's Space brands itself as "French Southern" comfort food. The takeout-only spot serves its main dishes with biscuits, but they all come with something a little unexpected. The braised brisket dish includes orange shallot marmalade, and the turkey biscuit comes with lingonberry jam.

Egghead

Location: 485 Seventh Ave., Times Square

What to eat: Eggs, all day. If you're looking for a spot that'll won't stop serving egg sandwiches at 11 a.m., Egghead might be your new go-to. Located inside the Moxy Hotel, the egg-focused sandwich shop will give you your morning fix whenever you want.

This post has been corrected to note the appropriate era that inspired Rag Trader. It was the 1940's, not the 1920's.
