Shall we adjourn to the Dish then? Look out for a special Dish investigation later today, but for now:
1) Parish Diner: If it's ok with you, we'll start in Greenpoint today at this new diner, with a kitchen run by Suba alum Bruce Dillon. The menu is fairly straight forward diner fare, but with some decidedly Southern, even South-of-the-Border influences, such as a Burros Pastor (a pulled pork and pineapple burrito). Neighborhood touches are planned, such as live music, local artist shows, and indie film screenings. Slated open for dinner is tomorrow, with Brunch service to follow. 218 Richardson Street, Greenpoint; (718) 383-8200, website. [Eater Staff]
2) Trattoria Trecolori: Long a local Hell's Kitchen favorite, Trattoria Trecolori has reopened in new, expanded digs. And, what do you know, there's an opening celebration for friends, family, and, if you're so inclined, you: "Our opening celebration will run from Tuesday, May 8th through Sunday, May 13th. We will serve Lunch from Noon till 3:00 PM and Dinner from 4:00 to 11:00 PM. Our menu as our service will be as good if not better than ever. Our entire staff from 45th street is back for our revival and we are all looking forward to making this a memorable dining experience for all our guests. Gracie e cevediamo pronto!" 254 West 47th Street, Hell's Kitchen; (212) 997-4540, website. [Eater Staff]
3) Monkey Bar Barrrom: Per the Previous, the front room at Monkey Bar opens tonight. Menu is by Patricia Yeo and promises to feature her signature blend of Asian/American fare. The dining room is slated to open in another few weeks. 60 East 54th Street, Midtown East; (212) 838-2600. [EaterWire]
