Queens’ beloved Utopia Bagels is finally opening in Manhattan
In our humble, bagel-obsessed opinion, there can never be enough excellent bagels in New York City. So it’s extra good news that Utopia Bagels is finally coming to Manhattan, after more than 40 years in Whitestone, New York. (Don’t worry, Queens bagel fans: the O.G. storefront isn’t going anywhere.)
RECOMMENDED: These are the 17 best bagel spots in NYC, no matter how you fill ’em
Utopia Bagels is known for its unwavering dedication to the old-world process of making bagels—that is, individually hand-rolling them before kettle boiling the rounds and baking them in a 1947 carousel oven, a process that the team believes gives the bagels “their distinctive taste generation after generation.” Now they’ll bring those time-honored traditions to Manhattan proper with a second bagel shop location opening on Sunday, June 2, at 120 East 34th Street on the corner of Lexington Avenue in Murray Hill.
And to celebrate the grand opening, Utopia Bagels will welcome the public to its new NYC location from 9am to 4pm on Sunday. The first 100 customers in line will get a free hot bagel while they wait, so don’t be late!
Along with being centrally located and not inundated with a lot of bagel competition in the area, “it was important to us to pick somewhere that still keeps the family feel, and here we’re also located near hospitals and schools,” co-owner Scott Spellman told Eater earlier this year. Though the Manhattan location will be smaller than the original Queens shop, patrons will still be able to see those boiled-then-baked beauties being prepared from behind a glass window, just like at its predecessor.
Menu details are still to come, but it’s safe to assume that the Manhattan offshoot will have similar breakfast and lunch offerings as the original location, which offers a wide selection of mini bagels and regular-sized rounds, specialty sandwiches and giant bagel wheels, which you can load up with regular cream cheese, sliced lox, deli meats or flavored spreads, from the savory (scallion, jalapeño) to the sweet (cinnamon apple, walnut raisin).

Blue Smoke launches ‘Cue Counter collabs for summer
Sure, grilling season is officially here, but we’d selfishly much rather the professional pitmasters at NYC’s best barbecue restaurants man the coals instead of us. Thankfully, the team over at Blue Smoke is bringing back ‘Cue Counter, its oh-so-convenient seasonal to-go window, this summer every Tuesday through Thursday from 11:30am to 2:30pm.
RECOMMENDED: The 15 best burgers in NYC include classic cheeseburgers and smashed stacks
And even better, the restaurant is teaming up with some top-notch eateries and chefs around NYC to offer special, limited-time collaborative dishes throughout the summer. The inaugural partnership will run through Thursday, May 30, with East Village bakery Primo Focaccia; together, the concepts will dole out a special Smoked Porchetta Sandwich topped with salsa verde and peppery arugula on fresh-based focaccia for $10 a pop.
The series will continue throughout the warm-weather months with chopped-cheese purveyor Schmackwich (which will take over the ‘Cue Counter from Tuesday, June 4 through Thursday, June 13), wood-fired bagelry The Mud Club (popping up between Tuesday, June 18 and Thursday, June 27) and comfort-food brand Edith’s Brooklyn, rounding things out from Tuesday, July 9 until Thursday, July 18.
Along with the limited-time menu items, the ‘Cue Counter will serve a regular lineup of BBQ favorites, including brisket sliders, mini pulled pork sandwiches, hot dogs (which you can top with cheese sauce or get fully loaded with brisket chili, cheddar and jalapeño), and classic sides like macaroni and cheese, potato salad and coleslaw. There will also be brownies, chocolate-chip cookies and potato chips sold at the takeout window to pad out your meaty lunch.
Check out the collaborative Smoked Porchetta Sandwich from Blue Smoke and Primo Focaccia below and make sure to grab one before they’re gone this Thursday:

After 200 locations throughout its native China, Grandma’s Home is finally bringing its homestyle Hangzhou cooking to Manhattan with a new Flatiron location. Run by Julia Zhu, the daughter of one of the restaurant’s founders, the inaugural New York outpost will follow brand tradition and spotlight regional “flavors from the land of fish and rice,” all in a modern setting.

The menu combines culinary influences from throughout northern and southern China: think green tea claypot chicken, hong shao rou (Shanghai-style braised pork belly), soy-glazed crispy fish, scallion oil noodles and more. New for New York is a whole crab dish, served with two shell-on crabs and homemade rice cakes, and just in time for summer, the team is adding shaved ice to their dessert menu.
The restaurant has just launched a full-time lunch service (available weekdays from 11:30am to 3pm), with specials like a lunch set with a choice of an appetizer (tofu skin rolls or lotus root with sticky rice) and choice of a protein (chili pepper chicken, sweet-and-sour pork, mapo tofu or kung pao shrimp), all served with choy sum, white rice and pickled cucumbers with apple.
To complement the food, the beverage program focuses on low-ABV cocktails inspired by Chinese folktales, such as Uncle Song’s Sippy Cup, made with Oka Kura Japanese Bermutto Sake Vermouth, Voume Primo Vermouth, ginger, honey and lime. There’s also a long list of non-alcoholic drinks, like the Red Foil Cap (made with yogurt, Young Hyson tea, lemon, lime, and soda) and the Oolong Tonic (oolong cold brew, grapefruit, vanilla, lemon and tonic).
Check out some of the yummy-looking food-and-drink offerings from Grandma’s Home below, as well as snaps of the restaurant’s contemporary dining room, filled with art by young Chinese artists from around the world, including Peter Chan and Zhang Guang-yu.
