7 New NYC Restaurants and Bars to Check Out This Spring

Midtown West is welcoming a couple new neighbors this winter. The recently opened Peakaboo is a late-night cocktail bar with impressive views, located on the 101st floor of 30 Hudson Yards adjacent to the Edge observation deck. Chez Zou is a new cocktail lounge from Quality Branded and the Zou Zou team, led by chef Madeline Sperling, formerly of Olmsted and NoMad. Slated to open March 1, the space features an outdoor terrace. A few blocks north in Times Square, UnPublished made its debut during New York Fashion Week ahead of its Feb. 16 grand opening. Opened in collaboration with Serafina, the intimate bar operates as a “speakeasy” within Serafina in the Sky at the Pod Hotel.
