Week of August 27–September 2

Oceana’s sea scallop sashimi

Oceana
After 17 years at its East 54th Street location, midtown’s famed seafood restaurant has moved to a larger space. Replacing the prix-fixe–only options of the past is a menu stressing à la carte and raw bar selections. Chef Ben Pollinger continues the original’s global approach, with plates like halibut saltimbocca. 1221 Sixth Ave and 49th St (212-759-5941)

Gospel Uptown
Nightly R&B, jazz, gospel and soul performances supplement the soul-food menu from chef-partner Kenneth Collins (Ida Mae). Collins’s creations reflect a healthier approach to the classics, such as his baked alternative to fried chicken. 2110 Seventh Ave between 125th and 126th Sts (212-280-2110)

Provini
Peter Sclafani and Kristen Hallett (Bar Tano) expand their Park Slope holdings with this European café and wine bar. Italian pastries and Intelligentsia coffee are available in the a.m. Later on, the full menu offers dishes like tagliatelle with lamb ragù, along with Italian craft beers by the bottle. 1302 Eighth Ave at 13th St, Park Slope, Brooklyn (718-369-2154)

Picnick Smoked
Will Goldfarb and Kevin Pomplun have added a mobile trailer to their Battery Park kiosk, Picnick. Smoked items, including pulled heritage pork, are served with homemade sides like pickled vegetables. Breakfast is coming soon. Wall Street Park between Front and South Sts (646-761-1682)

Whole Foods Market Upper West Side
The supermarket chain opens its latest New York location, complete with a wine store. 808 Columbus Ave at 97th St (212-222-6160)

Yerba Buena Perry
Chef Julian Medina’s Latin eatery expands with this sister location. The new spot will feature even more ceviches and fries—including watermelon and cactus—plus equatorial cocktails like the Pisco Mojito (pisco, lime, bitters, yerba buena). 1 Perry St at Greenwich Ave (212-620-0808)
