City Harvest Bid Against Hunger
Many New Yorkers are closer to the soup kitchen than the chef’s table these days. Support them at this annual charity taste-around benefiting City Harvest. More than 60 of the city’s best eateries will offer bites such as lamb meatball sliders (Locanda Verde) and duck pastrami (Per Se). Leave room for the unlimited cocktails. Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 W 18th St between Sixth and Seventh Aves (cityharvest.org). 7–10pm, $250.
Champagne Tuesdays
Forget champagne and caviar: At Superdive, your fizz comes with a side of scallywag. Every Tuesday, the bar offers unlimited bottles of champagne for just $25. Said bottles are sabered by a pirate-costumed little person perched in a bathtub. You know, just for kicks. Superdive, 200 Ave A between 12th and 13th Sts (646-448-4854, superdivebar.com). 7–10pm; $25.

Starting tonight, Superdive–which has already earned its fratboy cred by offering keg service—ups the ante even further with Champagne Tuesdays. Here’s the deal: $20 buys all-you-can-drink bubbly served out of a bathtub on wheels…by a little person…and yes, he’s dressed like a pirate. It’s either a terrifying sign of the apocalypse or the best excuse ever to miss Melrose Place. There’s only one way to find out.

“Chef Daniel Boulud doesn’t do decent, so-so or almost great,” writes Jay Cheshes of DBGB Kitchen and Bar’s brasserie dishes and high-end junk food, to which he awards four out of five stars. [TONY]
Berimbau gets a mere two stars despite its welcoming ambiance: “There was plenty to like at this Brazilian eatery—but none of it was what we ate.” [TONY] Read more »

The following bars and restaurants are expected to open by July 8. Always call ahead, as opening dates can vary.
Gus & Gabriel Out of homage to his late father, Gus, and his son, Gabriel, chef Michael Psilakis (Anthos, Mia Dona) presents his sophisticated spin on childhood classics. He’s recast the original Kefi space as a traditional American pub, with antique mirrors, a tin ceiling and dark-wood tables. The casual fare includes hot dogs made in-house and a pulled-pork sloppy joe; other familiar foods, from chili to a BLT, also get a stylish touch. As for drinks, the focus on craft beers and brown spirits is decidedly grown-up. 222 W 79th St between Amsterdam Ave and Broadway (212-362-7470)
