Angelina Pizza Bar The brick-oven pizza trend shows no signs of slowing, as evidenced by the arrival of this pizzeria from the owners of Chez Lucienne. Pizzaiolo Giancarlo Delanzo mans the hearth, which, as at the East Village’s Tonda, features a revolving stone floor. Pies, such as the Bella Angelina (zucchini flowers, smoked salmon and goat cheese), gain added flavor thanks to handfuls of rosemary, garlic and olive pits tossed into the blazing wood fire. Both kids and adults should find something to enjoy in the rustic, pastel-hued space: Bottles of wine are reasonably priced between $20 and $50, while an ice cream bar allows for DIY soft-serve sundae creations. 2728 Broadway between 104th and 105th Sts (212-932-1000)

André This French-American restaurant, in partnership with Opia, offers dishes both classic—hanger steak with bordelaise sauce—and inventive—jambon de Bayonne and melon with a poppy seed vinaigrette—from chef Ted Pryor (Les Halles). Three balcony terraces allow for alfresco dining. Renaissance Hotel, 130 E 57th St between Park and Lexington Aves, second floor (212-688-3939)

Cowgirl Seahorse After two decades of business, the West Village’s Cowgirl welcomes a baby sister to the family, where owner Sherry Delamarter will combine her native-Texan love of Western cooking with an expanded seafood menu. Cowgirl mainstays like “chicken-fried chicken” will share menu space with Gulf foods such as po’ boys, while the breakfast selection features dishes only a Southerner could have dreamt up, such as Cap’n Crunch–crusted French toast. Chase it with the Ethyl Mermaid (rum, apricot brandy and fresh citrus juices). 259 Front St at Dover St (212-608-7873)

Lot 2 Chef Scott Bridi brings the expertise he developed as the onetime head of Gramercy Tavern’s charcuterie program to this modest Brooklyn spot. In addition to an extensive cured-meats and sausage menu (neck three ways comes with house-made pork and lamb coppa, as well as rillettes), Bridi will prepare a market-driven American menu with dishes featuring secondary cuts of meat, like an entrée of slow-cooked brisket, pork jowl, and lamb rib with carrots and potatoes. 687 Sixth Ave between 19th and 20th Sts, Sunset Park, Brooklyn (718-499-5623)

The Mott A last-minute power shuffle has bumped ex-model Emma Cleary from this project above the former Double Happiness space, but chef Brian Bieler (Bouley) and his seasonal cooking have emerged unscathed from the shake-up. Inside the simply decorated 46-seat space—featuring whitewashed brick walls, wooden tables and overhead wine storage cubbies—diners can enjoy his menu of familiar dishes with a twist, such as “fish-and-chips”: roasted market fish with cockles, artichokes, mint and fries. Plans for a lounge downstairs are in the works. 173 Mott St at Broome St (212-966-1411)

Sui Ren Izakaya Billyburg gains a new izakaya with this intimate spot from owner Morgan Chang and chef Jun Hiroshima (Bond St.). Small plates include inventive yakitori (grilled eel with foie gras) and kushikatsu (deep-fried skewers, such as beef tenderloin with tomato-confit sauce). A 40-seat backyard patio contains an additional cooking area called Night Market, specializing in ramen and the street foods of Osaka. 302 Metropolitan Ave between Driggs Ave and Roebling St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn (718-218-7878)
