Martha Stewart Is Hosting a One-Night-Only Dinner in Queens
Martha Stewart is heading to an unexpected location in Ridgewood (has she ever been to Queens?), where she will host a one-night-only dinner party. She’s joining Yara Herrera, of Mexican American restaurant Hellbender (which recently received a glowing review in the New York Times) for a menu collaboration.
The other New York-based Resy dinners feature chef Sam Yoo (newly opened Korean American gastropub Golden Hof and Korean barbecue spot NY Kimch i; plus Golden Diner) with food fan/musician Questlove; plus events in other cities. Stewart’s next project is a cooking competition series with chef José Andrés, Yes, Chef!, which premieres tonight, Monday, April 28.
Anticipated Ridgewood deli is opening soon
The team behind Bed-Stuy Italian restaurant Daphne’s is going to be opening their anticipated Italian Queens deli really soon. Arrigo’s is opening in Ridgewood at 71-08 Fresh Pond Road, near 71st Avenue, on Thursday, May 1. It’ll start off with lunch services only; dinner will begin on Sunday, June 1, where they’ll also serve wine.
The 25-seat restaurant makes sandwiches like the Italian combo, the artichoke pesto, the Arrigo’s chicken cutlet, and the weekend potato and egg tortilla, among others. Then there are house-made pastas such as rigatoni and casarecce with short rib ragu.
More Los Tacos No. 1 everywhere
Rapidly growing New York taqueria chain Los Tacos No. 1 is adding another location to its roster this year, as reported by EV Grieve. It’ll open near Union Square at 200 Park Avenue South, between East 17th and 18th streets, by the end of May. The restaurant, known for its iconic al pastor tacos, just opened its eighth spot in the Financial District this past February.
