"I might say this every year, but I say with confidence that 2026 is shaping up to be a dynamic year for restaurant openings. Some on this list come from restaurant veterans expanding their foothold in cities like Atlanta, Denver, and Raleigh, while one has been in the works as a pop-up since the two owners worked together just across the street from their brick and mortar in Red Hook, Brooklyn."
"Atlanta diners have flocked to the beloved Thai spot Talat Market since Parnass Savang and Rod Lassiter debuted the restaurant's brick-and-mortar in early 2020. Now Savang and Lassiter are finally ready to open Some Luck, their new Thai bar in Poncey-Highland, that will serve food meant to be washed down with a cocktail. Think noodle soups, grilled meat skewers, and spicy fried wings-the restaurant is in Atlanta after all."
2026 looks to bring a wave of new restaurant openings across cities including Atlanta, Brooklyn, San Francisco, Denver, Raleigh, and Las Vegas. Some Luck in Atlanta opens in April as a Thai bar from Parnass Savang and Rod Lassiter, offering noodle soups, grilled meat skewers, and spicy fried wings in a restored Highland Ballroom Lounge with a dive-bar vibe and late closing time. Hōp, a Khmer restaurant from Bun Cheam and Cait Callahan, transitions from pop-ups to a permanent Red Hook location opening late summer. Kwame Onwuachi is expanding to Las Vegas, and several veteran restaurateurs are opening new spots. Opening dates are subject to change; check restaurant websites and Instagram for updates.
