The following new bars and restaurants are scheduled to open by May 6; always call ahead to confirm before heading out:

Mayahuel Death & Company co-owner Ravi DeRossi and mixologist Philip Ward are behind this cocktail bar devoted to tequila, mescal and Mexican eats. The bi-level space features a tiled bar serving tipples like the Watermelon Sugar (watermelon, sugarcane syrup, lime, mescal and tequila). Upstairs, a 20-foot-wide stained-glass tarantula chandelier lords over a dining area offering tapas-size dishes such as a baby lamb taquito. 304 E 6th St between First and Second Aves (no phone yet)

Tandem If one thing isn’t missing from sisters Jane and Cathy Virga’s bar, it’s a personal touch: Nearly everything here, short of the alcohol, was handmade or salvaged. Beers are served in ceramic vessels Jane turned on a potter’s wheel, and she also formed, fired and glazed the tiles that adorn the walls and tabletops. The antique mahogany bar, meanwhile, once furnished the historic Elks Lodge in Elmhurst, Queens. Potables continue the trend—the Dark and Stormy is made with house-brewed ginger beer—while beers include recognizable names like Stella, alongside local brews such as Sixpoints, and a small menu allows for grazing. 236 Troutman St between Knickerbocker and Wilson Aves, Bushwick, Brooklyn (718-386-2369)

The Flying Cow An eclectic Argentine-style restaurant—part Latin steakhouse, part tapas bar—has opened in Williamsburg. The South American influence is visible in dishes like the mixed grill, which features beef short ribs, sweetbreads, blood sausage, veal kidneys and hanger steak with chimichurri sauce. Affordable tapas (priced around $5 each) range from shrimp with an avocado mousse to asparagus with lemon and puffed rice. Drinks, which can be enjoyed at the 15-seat bar, include an impressive beer selection curated by Radegast’s Ivan Kohut. 2 Hope St at Roebling St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn (718-387-7111)

The Pony Bar Self-described beer geeks and Lansdowne Road owners have opened this craft-beer bar in Hell’s Kitchen. Twenty draft lines plus two casks pump 14-ounce pints from a rotating selection of American brews, including Kelso, Stone and Chelsea Brewing Company, all priced at $5. A limited food menu will soon be available, offering sausages, sandwiches and a porter-and-sirloin stew. What you don’t drink there, take home in a 64-ounce growler, which can be filled with your beer of choice. 637 Tenth Ave at 45th St (212-586-2707)

Corner Café & Bakery This Upper East Side spot has opened a sister location across town, offering the same wide-ranging menu spanning three dining options: The bakery focuses on goods like pastries, bagels and cakes; a 28-seat sit-down café offers brunch, lunch and dinner; and a market area sells take-home items, including packaged sandwiches, soups and salads. 2328 Broadway between 84th and 85th Sts (212-860-8060)

Cure The name reveals much of what you need to know about this small East Village eatery, which focuses on preserved meats. Platters come with your choice of savory delicacies like Tuscan white-boar soprassata, duck-breast prosciutto and paprika-and-garlic-rubbed, dry-aged pork loin, to name a few. Other options include small plates (Gruyère, baby spinach and pancetta quiche), salads and sandwiches. A trim 12-bottle list of international wines, meanwhile, allows for appropriate pairings. 131 E 7th St between First Ave and Ave A (212-777-7799)
