"This is Eater's guide to all the new restaurants, bars, and cafes that have opened this week in February 2026. Throughout the month, we'll update the list weekly (see: ). When we've been to a place, we will then include a few openings on our heatmap to let you know the ones we like. If there's an opening in your neighborhood that we've missed, let us know at ny@eater.com."
"Brooklyn Heights: Confidant, the new American restaurant that closed its original Industry City location in November, reopened on Wednesday, February 4, in a new neighborhood, taking over what had been Colonie for over a decade. Chefs and co-owners Brendan Kelley and Daniel Grossman (formerly of Roberta's) introduce pastas to a familiar menu full of dry-aged fish and meats. Mariah Neston, a Le Rock alum, continues as the pastry chef, focusing on desserts and breads."
"East Village: Odo East Village opened on Sunday, February 1, by chef Hiroki Odo, who runs the two-Michelin-starred kaiseki restaurant Odo in Flatiron. Whereas dinner at Odo will run you $270 per guest, Odo East Village offers an a la carte menu - featuring sashimi, soups, binchotan-grilled items, and more - with most dishes under $20. The restaurant is meant to be a more approachable, casual take on kaiseki, and everything on the menu also happens to be gluten-free."
Several new restaurants, bars, and cafes opened across New York City in early February 2026. Confidant relocated from Industry City to Brooklyn Heights on February 4, taking over the longtime Colonie space and adding pastas to a menu of dry-aged fish and meats. The team includes chefs and co-owners Brendan Kelley and Daniel Grossman, co-owners Henry Goldman and Martin Borkan, and pastry chef Mariah Neston. Lou & Bev's, an all-day bakery, pizza restaurant, and wine bar, is slated to open next door in spring. Gnihton debuted in the East Village as a Georgian-run coffee and sandwich spot. Odo East Village offers a casual, gluten-free, a la carte kaiseki menu with most dishes under $20.
