This is Eater’s guide to all the new restaurants, bars, and cafes that have opened this week. Throughout December, we’ll update the list weekly.

Chinatown: Kimmi, an entirely gluten-free restaurant, opened on Wednesday, December 3, from the team behind Tiger Lily Kitchen and TLK by Tigerlily Kitchen, which closed in 2024. The restaurant — which will use products from gluten-free facilities to keep its food celiac-safe — serves dishes like peanut noodles, mango and papaya salad, spicy tuna rice cakes, and grilled pork belly skewers. Much of the menu is also vegetarian. Drinks include wine, with glasses between $13 and $16, and low-ABV cocktails. 125 Canal Street, at Chrystie Street

Hell’s Kitchen: The History, an ornately decorated Georgian restaurant, opened on Saturday, November 22, promising an exploration of “30 centuries of Georgian flavor.” The restaurant serves dishes like khinkali, crispy suckling pig, duck breast with a sauce of rose and Georgian pennyroyal, fish aspic, and breads like khachapuri and mchadi, as well as Georgian wines like Rkatsiteli. It bills itself as part restaurant, part gallery, with portraits of Georgian monarchs on the walls as well as replicas of royal garments. 645 Ninth Avenue, at West 45th Street

Noho: Nate Limwong, the chef behind Thai restaurants Chalong and the recently opened Unglo, opened her newest restaurant, Godunk, on Tuesday, December 2. Godunk focuses on street food dishes from across Thailand, like Bangkok’s yen ta fo, a noodle soup with seafood and a pink broth that’s flavored with fermented bean curd. The space is inspired by vintage cinema, and that’s reflected in the cocktail menu, with drinks like the Before Sunset (featuring pandan-infused mezcal) and the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (featuring gin, mango, lime, and cilantro). 332 Bowery, near Bond Street

Prospect Heights: Gertie, which first opened in Williamsburg in 2019 and then closed this summer, reopened on Monday, December 1, in a new space that was previously home to the beloved sandwich shop R&D Foods, which closed in August. While the previous iteration of Gertie had more of a diner vibe, the new version is more of a bagel shop and delicatessen, focusing on homemade bagels, sandwiches, and soups, with a latke bar. Sister restaurant Gertrude’s is just around the corner. 602 Vanderbilt Avenue, near St. Marks Avenue

Red Hook: Selina Ullrich, a local java vet who formerly ran the wholesale business at East One Coffee Roasters, debuts a new industrial-styled neighborhood roastery and cafe in late November called High Beam. Hours are weekdays 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and starting at 8 a.m. on weekends. 369 Van Brunt Street, near Dikeman Street

Williamsburg: Female-owned Blazers Sports Bar debuted on Monday, December 1, in tandem with the U.S. Women’s National Team vs. Italy game. While the Brooklyn bar plans to largely focus on women’s sports, partners Caroline Kane, Chandler Robertson, and Debany Dávila want to be a “comfortable spot for all sports fans,” per Greenpointers. Blazers serves beers, cocktails, mocktails, and pub grub like wings, fries, and guacamole. Hours are 4 p.m. to midnight on weekdays and noon to midnight on weekends. 308 Bedford Avenue, near South First Street

Williamsburg: The McCarren, a new neighborhood hangout with an Irish bent, debuted in the old Thief space in early December, per Greenpointers. The menu features everything from a chicken filet burger to an “Irish” toastie special with ham, cheese, red onion, and Kerrygold butter with Tayto crisps, plus mozzarella sticks, Irish sausage rolls, wings, and flatbreads. Cocktails like a Jalisco Sunrise and Irish whiskey-spiked Apple Never Falls with an apricot foam join classics like a Negroni, and of course, lots of Guinness pours. 595 Union Avenue, near Eighth Street
