Notable New Openings

Here, a few openings I’m excited about on the Upper East Side.

Vanessa’s Dumplings: I stopped by the newest location of this beloved dumpling shop on Friday evening, after being open for just one hour. And the tables were full at 9 p.m. I was told that delivery would start up soon. I’m excited to order a dumpling delivery on a cool fall evening.

Jeremy’s: From the third-generation owner, Jeremy Schaller, of Schaller & Weber, this will be the Upper East Side’s newest cocktail bar. Just two doors down from the butcher shop, this 25-seat bar is set to open on Sept 21. The menu will be a spin on classic cocktails alongside Austrian wines and schnapps.

Melody’s Piano Bar: This new, but old-school piano bar opened quietly this past April and stays open until 4 a.m on weekends. From Tom and Anthony Martignetti, owners of the East Pole, this lounge-y bar will have nightly piano music. I can’t wait to check this one out.
