Lincoln Center leveled up majorly when the restaurant, Tatiana, opened from Kwame Onwuachi in 2022, part of a bigger renovation of David Geffen Hall. This summer, the chef has been focusing on patties: first debuting Patty Palace, a patty stand at Citi Field, followed by an announcement that he’d be opening a permanent takeout booth at the forthcoming Time Out Market near Union Square. Now, Patty Palace will open a food stand at Lincoln Center Plaza for the summer, serving curried chicken patties.

It’s part of a larger event series at the performance venue, in collaboration with the Infatuation, running from Friday, June 11 to Saturday, August 9, with a mix of top chefs and up-and-comers in the city: The line-up includes Sam Yoo of Golden Diner, fine dining restaurant Saga’s Charlie Mitchell, Korean Cajun restaurant Kjun’s Jae Jung, and Bushwick’s streetside ice cream sensation Nieves Cortes. Food is served at night, from Wednesday through Sunday, in tandem with shows at Lincoln Center, opening an hour before and closing after its duration.

The Marlton, just off Washington Square Park, on West Eighth Street, has long been a hotel lobby functional for meetings and doing some laptop work. But in recent years, it had lost some of its luster. That is about to change thanks to the debut of Chez Nous, a buzzy new bistro at the hotel, that is sure to become a media elite clubhouse. It comes from David Kuhn, a literary agent, and his life partner, Kevin Thompson, a production designer who worked on Maestro — with an equally stacked group of guests at its opening party, chronicled by the New York Times. The French menu plays it straight with some tweaks: a menu lists whole artichoke, a yuzu tuna tartare, a Nicoise salad, shrimp cocktails with cured fennel and preserved lemon, steak, whole chicken, and a burger. The restaurant is currently open for reservations, including during breakfast hours — it’s definitely work meeting-friendly.

Bookstore cafes are everywhere in New York. The latest is the Twisted Spine, a horror-themed bookstore with drinks, on its way to Williamsburg. It’ll be located at 306 Grand Street, near Havemeyer Street, Greenpointers reported. Eater has reached out for more information.
