2) Meatpacking District: Chef/restaurateur Ron Silver opened a new location of Bubby's on Gansevoort Street near the High Line earlier this week. The new outpost serves a menu that's similar to the one offered at the original in Tribeca. Options include burgers, soups, salads, fried chicken, meatloaf, barbecued meats, and pies, of course.

Status: Soft Open; grand opening on October 28. 73 Gansevoort., 212-206-6200.

Street, (212) 677-1216.
