3) Lower East Side: Zagat attends the opening of Hotel Chantelle's new rooftop lounge. The second floor, rooftop bar features a large retractable roof and a large outdoor patio. Status: Certified Open; 92 Ludlow Street, 212-254-9100.

4) Greenwich Village : Fork in the Road checks out the newly opened Burger House, a "zen grill" on 820 Broadway that serves Korean-influenced burgers and sandwiches. And early assessment: "the burger patty itself was rather flat and had been griddled. It was cooked a bit longer than we would have liked, and thus tasted overly dry. However, the shop was doling out samples of its bulgogi burger ($6.45), which was much more flavorful and juicy than the ground beef patty." Status: Certified Open; 820 Broadway, 212-677-8282.
