GREENPOINT — Nick Korbee, the new chef at Nights and Weekends, has finished revamping the menus, and will start serving them on Monday.

Plus, the restaurant will now be open for breakfast and lunch seven days a week, instead of just on weekends. Check out the new menus, below. [EaterWire]

TOUGH TABLES —Here's a look at Damon Baehrel, the Earlton, NY restaurant that Bloomberg claims is the world's toughest reservation.

Eater National has Bloomberg's video profile of the chef, in which he explains his philosophy and his "native harvest" cuisine. [~EN~]
