MORNINGSIDE HEIGHTS — The team behind The Bedford and Roebling Sporting Club opened their first Manhattan project last week, Macchina.

EAST WILLIAMSBURG — Brandon Davey gutted a former bike shop to make room for his bar The Topaz, reports Bedford + Bowery.

House drinks include "the deadman's mask" (black cardamom bourbon, lemon, smoked honey, pineapple, Dead Sea salt) and the short food menu offers pork buns, a 45-minute sous vide egg, and a charcuterie board. Status: Certified open. 251 Bushwick Avenue.
