TRUFFLE MANIA — Stella 34, the new Italian restaurant in Macy's, is serving pizzas topped with black and white truffles. The white truffle-topped pizza comes with a duck egg, parmesan, and crème fraiche for $65, and the black truffle pie has a béchamel sauce, and it's $30. [EaterWire]

WILLIAMSBURG — The Rough Trade record store, which will have a cafe from the Five Leaves team, is opening soon in Williamsburg. The cafe/to-go counter will be housed in a converted shipping container attached to the store. The cafe will serve Parlor Coffee espresso plus cheese plates, salads, baked goods, sandwiches, and savory pies. Take a peek at a sample menu at the bottom of this post. [EaterWire]

REOPENINGS — Zagat reports that Michael Psilakis's Upper West Side restaurant Kefi will reopen next Monday. A water main break shuttered the restaurant last winter. Meanwhile, Grub Street notes that the relocated Pok Pok NY should open this weekend. The old location closed last week, and it will be converted to an events space soon. [Zagat, GS]
