A Clubby Neighborhood Restaurant Has Opened in Flatiron With Offbeat Wine Pours

"Danny's, a new clubby spot for crudo, kale Caesar, a good burger, and insider gossip, has debuted in Flatiron. It comes from Dan Abrams, ABC News chief legal analyst, bestselling author, and veteran NYC restaurateur behind past ventures like the Lion and White Street. Located at 46 West 22nd Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues in Flatiron, Danny's is aiming for a neighborhood restaurant feel."

"Chef Ed Tinoco (Alinea Group alum) steers a menu of ham and cheese hot pockets, deviled eggs, fried chicken, halibut, and a burger. For drinks, it's classic cocktails and nonalcoholic options. The standout is an all-American wine selection, with more than 100 bottles with a focus on lesser-heralded regions - Texas, Charlottesville, Virginia, and Laurel, New York - alongside known labels from the West Coast."

"Brooklyn Mirage, the 32,000 square foot seasonal outdoor stage, is headed for full demolition, according to Gothamist, at the Avant Gardner complex at 140 Stewart Avenue in East Williamsburg. According to records filed with the city's Department of Buildings, the owners are seeking to tear down the structures that made up the Brooklyn Mirage, which has remained shuttered since 2024 following a last-minute cancellation of its 2025 season due to permitting issues."
