The following restaurants and bars are expected to open by July 15. Opening dates can change, so call ahead before heading out.
Lot 2 Chef Scott Bridi brings the expertise he developed as the onetime head of Gramercy Tavern’s charcuterie program to this modest Brooklyn spot. In addition to an extensive cured-meat–and-sausage menu (neck three ways comes with house-made pork and lamb coppa, as well as rillettes), Bridi will prepare a market-driven American menu with dishes featuring secondary cuts of meat, like an entrée of slow-cooked brisket, pork jowl, and lamb rib with carrots and potatoes. 687 Sixth Ave between 19th and 20th Sts, Sunset Park, Brooklyn (718-499-5623)
