Survey
The General Greene Owner Nicholas Morgenstern (Gramercy Tavern) tapped Resto toque Ryan Skeen to design the menu at this neighborhood café. Expect comfort foods, such as roasted pork ribs with tomato chutney, and a lineup of house cocktails like the cucumber-and-mint-infused General Gin Cup. An outdoor ice cream cart, hawking Morgenstern’s house-made flavors like honey-almond and salted caramel, will debut later this summer. 229 DeKalb Ave at Clermont Ave, Fort Greene, Brooklyn (718-222-1510)
Indian Road Café Thirty windows provide Hudson River views at Inwood’s new three-level eatery. Co-owner Jason Minter furnished the spot with tables and chairs plucked from the set of The Sopranos, where he worked as an associate producer. French-press coffee and an eclectic wine list spanning “Johannesburg to Dallas” are offered, along with casual fare like a panino stuffed with prosciutto, fig jam, Manchego cheese and arugula. 600 W 218th St at Indian Rd (212-942-7451)
Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream Onetime Good Humor man Ben Van Leeuwen partnered with his brother Pete to open this ice-cream truck, based at the corner of Greene and Prince Streets—a second, roving van will hit the pavement later this week. Local, hormone-free milk is in the custard base, and even the most elemental flavors sport a flourish: Chocolate uses Michel Cluizel cocoa, and vanilla is made using the brothers’ own bourbon-and–Tahitian bean extract, aged for four months in vodka-filled oak barrels.

Whole Foods Market A fifth NYC location of the organic superstore—this one inhabiting a mind-blowing 69,000 square feet—opens this week in Tribeca. Joining the market’s retail lineup is an oyster- and clam-shucking station and a shawarma spit. 270 Greenwich St at Warren St (212-349-6555)
