NYC Pizza Restaurant Fini Opens Fini Patio Bar in Brooklyn | Eater NY

"Los Angeles chef Timothy Hollingsworth is opening his first New York restaurant out near the Belmont racetrack in Queens; it opens in the Belmont Park Village at 2501 Hempstead Turnpike in Elmont on Wednesday, July 2. Described as a luxe-ish French brasserie offering wide-spanning American dishes in a large, 200-seat space, expect items such as fancy French bread pizza, crispy beef tacos, roasted chicken, and mini-martini flights. Hollingsworth had been the co-owner of Los Angeles restaurant Otium, which shuttered in controversy in 2024, and is the co-founder of national restaurant chain festivalChainFest; he partnered with national hospitality company Patina Restaurant Group for the project." - Nadia Chaudhury
