A new wood-fired restaurant from the team behind The Noortwyck opened its doors on Hudson Street this week. The debut comes as summer temperatures rise and outdoor tables fill up across the West Village. Staff at the new spot, which does not yet have a permanent sign, said they are focusing on seasonal produce and a short menu of grilled meats and vegetables.

Lunch service begins at noon, with a $24 prix fixe option drawing weekday office workers. At dinner, reservations are limited to walk-ins for now, and the bar fills quickly after 6 p.m. The restaurant’s wood-fired oven is visible from the dining room. Early menu items include charred leeks, sea bass, and a rotating selection of local greens.

Elsewhere in Manhattan, at least four other openings are underway this month, according to city health records and neighborhood flyers. In Chelsea, a Korean fried chicken counter opened on 8th Avenue, while in Chinatown, a small bakery specializing in egg tarts drew a morning line on Tuesday.

Restaurant owners say the first week of June brings a mix of regulars returning from Memorial Day travel and tourists seeking outdoor seating. With summer in full swing, late-night hours are expanding at many bars and cafes, especially near the West Side waterfront. The city’s health department continues with routine inspections as new venues open.
