A Running List of New Restaurants That Opened in New York City, October 2021 - Eater NY
"A rare Persian tapas bar has opened on Broadway. Masquerade debuted in the former Trophy Bar space, bringing along with it a menu that includes kookoo (an Iranian frittata-like dish with parsley, pomegranate molasses, and egg), tahchin (crispy basmati rice with saffron, yogurt, and pistachios), and meigoo (shrimp skewers with scallion and saffron) — with almost every dish under $10. Cocktails also pull from a Persian pantry of ingredients using tamarind, lavashak, saffron, and orange blossom, among others." - Emma Orlow
