Centro Vinoteca: The owners of Gusto have teamed up with Chef Anne Burrell in this two story corner spot in the West Village. Burell's experience as Batali's Sous Chef on Iron Chef America shines through in her Italian menu. 74 Seventh Avenue South, at Barrow Street, 212-367-7470.
Omido: Designed by Avroko (who did Public, among others), this high-end sushi restaurant brings a bit of luxury to midtown West with touches like foie gras and gold leaf among the raw fish. 1695 Broadway at 53rd Street, 212-247-8110.
Georgia's Eastside BBQ: Get a taste of Atlanta on the Lower East Side with another barbecue newcomer. Thrillist reports that they will be offering $25 all-you-can-eat blue crab on Sundays and for another $10 you can add all-you-can-eat ribs. Talk about a messy meal. 192 Orchard between Houston and Stanton, 212-253-6280.
Wakiya: Originally, London-based Chef Alan Yau was slated to be the superstar, but Chef Yuji Wakiya stepped when the deal fell through. This heavy-hitter combines upscale Northern Chinese cuisine with the opulence of Ian Schrager's Gramercy Park Hotel. 2 Lexington Ave between 21st and 22nd, 212-995-1330.
