There's nothing better than Asian comfort food when the weather begins to cool down. Dale Talde and his partners have opened up Rice & Gold, located within the bustling 50 Bowery Hotel. Diners can nosh on everything from Hand-Pulled Noodles and Pho Dumplings to Acorn Fried Rice and Lobster & Scallop Har Gow. Make room for dessert because the Kings Sundae is not to be missed. It's created with assorted Odd Fellows ice cream, Hong Kong waffle, bruleed banana, and cherry. The walls of the restaurant are covered in vibrant street art and graffiti while the metal light fixtures and beams give this modern space an industrial vibe. The bar is equally as lively with cocktail creations that range from their take on a negroni (Mickey's Business) to a rye and chocolate bitters favorite (Miranda's Right). You won't go home hungry at this dim sum hotspot that's serving up more than just delicious dumplings.

New Yorkers can finally enjoy ramen hotspot Tonchin without making the long trip to Asia. The Tokyo-based cult favorite is opening up its first NYC location this November and we couldn't be more excited. The 60-seat Japanese restaurant will serve elevated yet approachable dekitate fare, which means everything you order will be freshly prepared in-house. Of course, you must try signature dishes like their Tonkotsu Ramen with Berkshire Pork, the complex Uoton Smoked Dashi Ramen with clams and dashi broth, and the Spicy Tan Tan Ramen. Add on a shochu martini and you've got yourself a culinary experience to remember.

Their beverage program will also include 10-12 varietals of red, white, rose, and sparkling wine (available by the glass or bottle).
