In addition to Manhattan Inn opening this week, the following restaurants and bars are expected to open no later than November 11. Always call ahead before heading out, since openings can sometimes be delayed.

Cafe DuCharme On September 14, Swiss national Christian DuCharme stepped off a plane in New York with the idea of opening a café. He realized his vision in record time, debuting a homey space in Park Slope less than two months later. The menu includes coffee (New York’s Dallis), as well as pastries from Ceci-Cela and breads from Sullivan Street Bakery. Diners can order breakfast items such as homemade muesli and smoked salmon with toast. Savory dishes, including salads and sandwiches, are available all day. 668 President St between Fifth and Sixth Aves, Park Slope, Brooklyn (646-288-7644)

Purple Yam Amy Besa and Romy Dorotan made their reputation serving expertly prepared Filipino food at their now shuttered Soho restaurant, Cendrillon. Ditmas Park residents are the lucky recipients of their next project, a bamboo-accented Pan-Asian eatery serving small plates. Fans of the original can look forward to old favorites like pork adobo, alongside new additions such as homemade kimchi and a variety of noodles, including Korea’s japchae and the Phillipine’s pancit bihon (rice noodles cooked with pork, chicken, vegetables and stock). A selection of Asian beers, shochu and sake will be available to pair with the food. 1314 Cortelyou Rd between Argyle and Rugby Rds, Ditmas Park, Brooklyn (718-940-8188) Read more »
