NYC’s New Restaurant Openings
"The Upper East Side has a new Mediterranean spot from the same folks behind Park Slope’s Miriam (which also has an Upper West Side location). At Rafael, you’re probably going to eat lamb, whether that’s the lamb burger on a challah bun with pickles, or lamb cooked in a terracotta pot. They’ll also be open for breakfast, for all your shakshuka and labneh, za’atar, and harissa frittata needs." - will hartman
