The ultra-charming Prospect Heights cocktail lair Weather Up is expanding to Manhattan, with a second location expected to open... soon? Co-owner Kathryn Weatherup won't tell us exactly when they'll open for business, but we hear the place is definitely lit to pop, it's just a matter of one last bit of paperwork. And these photos confirm that the sequel—which is three times the size of the Brooklyn original—is pretty much ready for prime time (once they slap some seats on those bar stools). And don't forget; their ice is going to forever change the way you think about frozen water. You do think about frozen water, don't you?

New Weather Up Bar in Tribeca Will Spoil You For All Other Ice
If you've ever been to that drop-dead gorgeous Prospect Heights cocktail lounge Weather Up, you know how darn exciting it is that the owner, Kathryn Weatherup, is opening up a second location in Tribeca. The new Weather Up, expected to open at 159 Duane Street next month, will have the same vaulted tile ceilings like the original, and also offer a daily selection of oysters and caviar. Plus french fries! And it gets better. The Times has the scoop on the ice operation at Weather Up, and it's gonna make the half-assed ice at every other bar taste like paddy water.
Restaurants Opt For Other Chefs' Signature Items
When Daniel Boulud and Jim Leiken started putting the new restaurant DBGB together, they decided one hamburger would be topped with pulled pork. Rather than to start recipe testing, the chefs decided to use Daisy May's pork and serve the whole thing on a cornbread-cheddar bun. It's like the restaurant world's version of a co-operative: Chefs and restaurants are outsourcing a lot of ingredients from other restaurants these days. Take Kyle Bailey's Lower East Sliders on the bar menu at Allen & Delancey, for example: the pickle is Guss's, the salami is Katz's, and the Grafton Cheddar is from nearby Saxelby Cheesemongers.
Openings Roundup: Olana, Eighty One, Weather Up
Olana: The internets are doomed to failure unless someone invents a way to click on a photo at the end of a wet, snowy day and be immediately teleported to the desired location – like those plush chairs clustered around the bar, where one of Olana’s specialty cocktails would be presented at once.
