6) Tribeca: By Suzette, a new creperie that actually originated in France, opened recently. It serves sweet and savory crepes, the latter made with buckwheat flour, with fillings like ham, cheese, and egg, bolognese sauce, salted caramel, or nutella.

7) Lower East Side: The team behind Brooklyn taco spot Cochinita has opened Cochinita Dos on Canal Street.
