    In addition to the Tipsy Parson opening this week, the following restaurants and bars are also expected to open by November 4. Always call ahead before heading out since opening dates can change.

    Le Caprice One of London’s poshest eateries, from restaurateur Richard Caring, hops across the pond to the Upper East Side. The 90-seat dining room echoes the British original, with a black-and-white palette, as well as images of ’60s fashion model Jean Shrimpton by photographer David Bailey. The menu, meanwhile, presents bistro fare from executive chef Michael Hartnell (The Ivy), including a fancified bunless burger going by the name Chopped Steak Americaine, and a salmon fish cake with buttered spinach and sorrel sauce. The Pierre, 795 Fifth Ave at 61st St (212-940-8195)

    Accademia di Vino Broadway Executive chef Kevin Garcia (’Cesca) opens a smaller sister location to his UES Italian restaurant and wine bar. Expect a similar menu of grilled pizzas (such as a seasonal one with pumpkin, pancetta and caramelized onion), as well as a raw-bar nod (carpaccio, crudo) to the space’s previous tenant, Dock’s. An extensive wine library of more than 500 mostly Italian bottles will also be available, including 40 by the glass. 2427 Broadway between 89th and 90th Sts (212-787-3070)

    Piccola Cucina Focacceria Chef Philip Guardione launches this focaccia-focused bakery. The specialty is a Ligurian variety of the bread that’s stuffed with melted Crescenza cheese, with the option of additional ingredients, such as pesto. Pizza slices and Sicilian snacks such as arancini are also available. 120 MacDougal St between Bleecker and W 3rd Sts (no phone yet)

    Puro Chile This multipurpose store and event space, devoted to promoting Chile and its goods, has opened downtown. In addition to providing tourism information, it will sell products including specialty foods, such as oils flavored with merken, a peppery spice mix. A wine store called Puro Wine shares the 3,000-square-foot space, with an entrance around the corner. 221 Centre St at Grand St (212-925-7879)

    The Black Horse Pub A lot of specialty bars open these days devoted to wine, craft beer or cocktails. Still, there’s something to be said for a neighborhood local with few pretensions, which is what this watering hole aims to be. Owner Brian McNally says his new addition to South Slope is modeled after a contemporary English pub, but not a “cheesy” one (meaning you won’t find “pictures of the fucking queen on the wall”). Sixteen taps, dispensing international brews like Radeberger and Monty Python’s Holy Grail Ale, plus a menu of pub grub, including a traditional Sunday-night roast, suggest that low-key can be a very good thing. 568 Fifth Ave at 16th St, Park Slope, Brooklyn (718-788-1975)
