Mesa Coyoacan Chef Ivan Garcia (Mercadito) explores his Mexico City roots at this eatery, named for the neighborhood where he grew up. Though the space is in a modern metal and glass building, it’s been given warm accents with vintage wallpaper and communal tables. The food echoes the multiregional snacks you might find on the capital city’s streets: A trio of tamales presents versions from Oaxaca (chicken and mole), Chapas (pork, fruit and nuts) and Veracruz (tilapia with guajillo salsa). Other preparations come straight from the chef’s family, including a secret-recipe ceviche. 372 Graham Ave between Conselyea St and Skillman Ave, Williamsburg, Brooklyn (718-782-8171)

Bar Luna Twenty years after opening Bella Luna on the Upper West Side, restaurateur Turgut Balikci unveils this nearby eatery and wine bar. The menu offers cheeses and charcuterie, small plates and straightforward mains such as grilled steak. Of the roughly 100 international wines, about 20 are available by the quartino. 511 Amsterdam Ave between 84th and 85th Sts (212-362-1098)

Bklyn Larder Franny’s owners Francine Stephens and Andrew Feinberg have opened this specialty-foods store near their Flatbush Avenue pizzeria. Inside the white-tiled space, international cheeses and cured meats are sold alongside homemade sausages, while a frequently changing menu of sandwiches and seasonal dishes allows customers to carry their dinners home. Other items, from chocolates to vinegar, will help locals stock their own larders. 228 Flatbush Ave between Sixth Ave and Bergen St, Park Slope, Brooklyn (718-783-1250)

Café Grumpy Park Slope This café, with locations in Greenpoint and Chelsea, opens a third spot, offering brewed coffee from two state-of-the-art Clover machines, as well as espresso-based drinks. The interior, which features a bar made by a Grumpy regular, is designed with the neighborhood in mind: Space has been provided for stroller traffic. Beans are sourced from a group of roasters, including Intelligentsia and Novo, and pastries are available from Blue Sky, Balthazar and other bakeries. 383 Seventh Ave between 11th and 12th Sts, Park Slope, Brooklyn (no phone yet)

La Cense Beef Burger Truck It seems like every week a new food truck hits the streets—barbecue, dumplings, tacos—but where’s the beef? Ask no more: This Montana ranch, which raises 100 percent grass-fed cattle, is rolling into town with a mobile unit serving six-ounce patties, griddle cooked to your temperature of choice, on a sesame seed bun. Toppings include caramelized onions, and bags of potato chips take the place of fries. Beyond that, it’s all about the meat. Various midtown locations; check twitter.com/lcbburgertruck.

Pierre Loti West The original Pierre Loti wine bar in Gramercy has spun off a tiny sister location in Chelsea. While it awaits a liquor license, the focus will be on Mediterranean cooking with Turkish and French touches. Dishes include halibut poached in a lemon-thyme-sumac broth with beets and fennel. 258 W 15th St between Seventh and Eighth Aves (212-645-5684)

Public Fare With the premiere of Twelfth Night at Shakespeare in the Park comes this concession from Danny Meyer’s catering company, Hudson Yards. The market-driven menu—for civilians and theatergoers alike—will be crafted by chefs Robb Garceau and Michael Romano (Union Square Cafe). Delacorte Theater, Central Park at 81st St (no phone yet)

Spina Neapolitan chef Roberto Patriarca (i Trulli) cooks pan-regional Italian food at this East Village spot. Freshly made pastas like maccheroncini get star billing: The dough is formed before diners’ eyes in the 40-seat dining room. 175 Ave B at 11th St (212-253-2250)
