A new restaurant roundup from The New York Times, published October 20, tracks three additions to the city's dining scene: an English-accented dining room called Straker's, an Egyptian restaurant in Bay Ridge, and a bistro-style café that has widened its menu.
Straker's is described in the Times headline as the latest New York dining room with an English accent. The summary provided with the item does not say where it is located, who runs it or what is on the menu. Those details are in the full column, which this publication has not reproduced here.
Sofra brings Egyptian cuisine to Bay Ridge, according to the Times summary. The Brooklyn neighborhood has long drawn diners to its Middle Eastern restaurants, bakeries and grocers, many of them concentrated along Fifth Avenue and Third Avenue. The summary offers no information on Sofra's address, hours, prices or signature dishes.
Anderson Café & Restaurant, the third item in the column, is adding more bistro fare, per the Times. The summary does not say what the café served before the change or which dishes are new.
The Times column is a regular compilation of restaurant news, and this installment is framed around the three places named above, along with additional items the summary describes only as "more restaurant news." The source material available here is a brief summary rather than the full text, so details such as opening dates, chefs, owners and menu prices cannot be confirmed in this report.
The pairing of an English-style dining room with an Egyptian restaurant outside Manhattan reflects the range of what is opening across the five boroughs this autumn. Diners looking for specifics should consult the original Times column or contact the restaurants directly for current hours and reservations.
NYC Restaurant Voice will update this item if further details on any of the three restaurants become available.
