"Philadelphia chef and restaurateur Michael Schulson is bringing his sushi restaurant and robatayaki spot to New York. Double Knot follows prolific Philadelphia restaurateurs, Stephen Starr and Michael Solomonov's expansions into the city. In Philadelphia, where it opened in 2016, the restaurant is known for its scene - a "moody, bi-level Asia-plex" as the Philadelphia Inquirer described it, offering robatayaki grill items and sushi. Schulson was the opening chef at Starr's Buddakan in New York back in 2007. - MM"
"Husband-and-wife team, Boris Artemyev and Elena Melnikova, both longtime New York restaurant veterans, are opening Gusi, an Eastern European restaurant in Manhattan. Named after the Slavic word for "geese" (a symbol of migration and homecoming), Gusi goes beyond borscht and pierogies. The menu includes several versions of the soup: duck, the Lenten with porcini mushrooms, and a spicy version. The dumplings are made with puff pastry for a flakier texture, filled with elk, buffalo, goose,"
New York will see close to 20 restaurant openings in the first part of 2026. Offerings include a Brooklyn reopening moving to a more residential location, a Netflix cooking star's first New York restaurant, and a refined outpost from a respected food-and-wine team. There are projects aiming for Michelin recognition and a pub emphasizing British seafood. Philadelphia chef Michael Schulson will bring Double Knot, a sushi and robatayaki concept, to Midtown in February 2026. A husband-and-wife team will open Gusi, an Eastern European restaurant featuring diverse soups, puff-pastry dumplings, and regionally influenced drinks.
