1) Harlem: Grub Street reports that Jesse Schenker, the chef at the recently closed dining space Recette, is opening a restaurant in the old Jarnac space in the West Village: "The space? 'Refined rustic,' said a rep. The food? 'New American with French technique.'" [PLYWOOD]

2) East Village: Fork in the Road brings word that a new wine bar is coming to 341 East 9th Street between 1st and 2nd in a former witchcraft store. [PLYWOOD]

3) Little Italy: Grub Street learns that a "VIP" tapas joint is moving into 149 Mulberry Street, formerly the home to a crappy souvenir shop, the restaurant Paolucci's, and, at one time, New York’s lieutenant governor. [PLYWOOD]

4) Park Slope: A tipster sends in the above photo of Okeanos the "much awaited" new spot on 7th Avenue and 8th Street. [PLYWOOD]

5) Chelsea: An Eater operative sends in the shot to the right of Socarrat's expansion space. The popular paella joint is planning on opening a wine bar called Socarrat Bar de Vinos in the space next door soon. [PLYWOOD]
