"Helen Nguyen, the owner of Saigon Social, opened a new restaurant in mid-February, as reported by Caper. At Cô Lạc, she and the team are serving up Vietnamese seafood dishes in the former Van Đa restaurant space, which closed sometime last year."
"Lazy Bulldog Coffee, the cutely named Turkish cafe that got its start as a stall at a Pennsylvania outlet mall, added a NYC storefront in late February. Lazy Bulldog specializes in Arabica coffee brewed in copper pots over hot sand. Flavors include lavender, cardamom, and ginger, as well as spiced chai, plus pastries and croissants stuffed with smoked trout."
"The citywide South Indian moment continued with the opening of Kidilum on Friday, February 27, which describes itself as 'Kerala's coastline, traditions, and energy expressed.' The menu is broken into a section of large plates, such as a nandu curry featuring stir-fried crab meat with dark roasted coconut, and small plates including shrimp pollichathu, or banana leaf-wrapped prawns with an onion-tomato marmalade."
Eater's weekly guide highlights new dining openings across New York City in March 2026. In the East Village, Helen Nguyen opened Cô Lạc, serving Vietnamese seafood in the former Van Đa space, while Lazy Bulldog Coffee debuted as a Turkish cafe specializing in Arabica coffee brewed in copper pots with flavored options and pastries. The Flatiron district welcomed Kidilum, a South Indian restaurant focusing on Kerala cuisine with dishes like nandu curry and shrimp pollichathu, led by chef Vinu Raveendran from the two-Michelin-starred Mugaritz. The guide includes location details and invites readers to report missed openings.
