The Standard Grill Chef Dan Silverman (Lever House) presents chophouse fare with a seasonal bent at this restaurant in the Standard New York hotel. Affordable dishes include grilled trout with currant-and-pine-nut relish. Menu items are available in both the airy front barroom and the more formal dining room, which features a vaulted subway-tile ceiling and a floor inlaid with pennies. 846 Washington St at Little W 12th St (212-645-4100)

Acquedolci The former owner of the Italian Food Center has opened this Sicilian deli, selling items like panelle (chickpea fritter) sandwiches, imported groceries, baked goods and prepared foods. 181 Grand St between Baxter and Mulberry Sts (212-219-8911)

Calexico Carne Asada The team behind the Vendy Award–winning, California-style Mexican street carts opens this brick-and-mortar spin-off in Carroll Gardens. Expect favorites from the cart menu, as well as shrimp and grits and expanded vegetarian options. 122 Union St between Columbia and Hicks Sts, Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn (718-488-8226)

Piccola Cucina Sicilian chef Philip Guardione introduces this contemporary Italian restaurant serving modern twists on classics, such as an asparagus-and-marjoram lasagna. The tiny dining room features French doors that open onto the street. 184 Prince St between Sullivan and Thompson Sts (212-625-3200)

Rockin’ Raw Couple Tere Fox and Luis Salgado have debuted a vegan raw-food eatery in Williamsburg. Dishes include the “tuna” Raw Boy, with sunflower seeds and seaweed standing in for the fish. A roomy garden is filled with fig and orange trees, rosebushes and grapevines. 178 North 8th St between Bedford and Driggs Aves, Williamsburg, Brooklyn (718-599-9333)

Tpoutine NYC’s dearth of poutine—the French-Canadian dish of fries topped with cheese curds and gravy—inspired Montrealer Thierry Pepin to open this eatery, where the fries are hand-cut and the gravy is homemade. Creative variations include the “New York Burger,” with ground beef. 168 Ludlow St between E Houston and Stanton Sts (646-833-7444)
