From Atlanta to Hudson to New Orleans |

Spring is finally in the air and as the temperatures warm, I am more inclined to dine out, especially outdoors. Another sign of the seasonal change (one of our faves, along with farmers markets reopening and the abundance of spring veg): chefs are opening the doors to their newest projects.
I already can’t wait to take the Amtrak train up from NYC to Hudson to dine at Pez, chef Efren Hernandez’s new contemporary Mexican restaurant at Rivertown Lodge right in town. And I also wouldn’t mind finding a reason to hit New Orleans with no plans except to wake up to huevos divorciados and queso en salsa at Casimiro, the forthcoming breakfast spot from Ana and Lydia Castro. Plus, there's a new home for Northern Thai cooking in D.C., Peruvian in Boston, and French-Québécois in the Twin Cities.
Is there a restaurant opening in your city that you’re excited about? My DMs are always open. |

As we await T-shirt weather, the transition to spring also signals a bevy of new restaurant openings to look forward to. In Chicago, the team behind the legendary Oriole is preparing to debut their first new restaurant in ten years. Down in New Orleans, the sisters behind contemporary Mexican stunner Acamaya, one of our Best New Restaurants of 2025, are opening what is poised to be the hottest breakfast spot in town.
We track restaurant openings year-round in preparation for our annual Best New Restaurants list. This spring, these eight are worth planning a trip around. |
