Market Table -- Mike Price, formerly of the Mermaid Inn has partnered with the Little Owl's Joey Campanaro and Gabriel Stulman, moved into the former Shopsins space and created a market/restaurant where, among other things, they'll be selling the kick-ass pork chops served at the Little Owl so you can attempt to re-create them at home. The market portion is in the soft-opening stage, and the restaurant is due to open the week of September 11. 54 Carmine at Bedford Street. (212) 255-2100.

Tailor -- Foie gras, chocolate, peanut butter, and pear? Together. Hells yeah. Sam Mason's long-awaited and much-chronicled project is finally close to being ready for business, complete with (as soon as their liquor license situation is straightened out) house-infused liquors. Pumpernickel raisin scotch, anyone? 525 Broome at Thompson Street. (212) 334-5182.

Los Dados -- The team behind Lotus teams up with Chef Sue Torres of Sueños brings some major heat to the Meatpacking District with her spicy Mexican menu. Tacos and enchiladas take the traditional combinations up a notch, like the coconut-infused halibut with avocado poblano sauce wrapped in chile arbol-infused tortillas. In addition to the current space, an adjoining late-night take out/delivery taqueria option will be coming shortly. 73 Gansevoort St, at Washington. (646) 810-7290.
