FLATIRON — The seasonally-changing restaurant Park Avenue will reopen in its winter garb tomorrow evening. The new design somehow involves 18,000 yards of lace. Expect a seared scallop sandwich and steak tartare rossini with foie gras, black truffles, and madeira. [EaterWire]

LOWER EAST SIDE — Sarah Simmons is adding late-night service and brunch to the offerings at Birds & Bubbles. Late-night meals (Thursday through Saturday) include options like Creole chips and green chile queso, pulled pork sandwiches, and fried chicken tenders. For brunch, there's green eggs and ham (pozole verde, soft boiled egg, hominy grits, and tasso) and barbecued shrimp and grits. [EaterWire]

BUSHWICK — Arrogant Swing is launching brunch next weekend with its regular menu, plus hog waffle sliders with eggs, eggs and slab bacon on mac & cheese waffles, banana pudding waffles and a few other gut-busting options. [EaterWire]
