Let's hope this one sticks: The space that was once—drumroll, por favor—Commune, Rocco's, Caviar & Banana and the recently deceased Borough Food & Drink has now been reincarnated as Almond, a Manhattan spin-off of the popular Hamptons spot of the same name. Gone is Borough's mishmash of all-world comfort-food, replaced by what looks to have more longevity: Franco-American fare that's as equally accessible (lamb belly with marjoram, orange and baby carrots) as it is fancy (a medley of frog legs, mushrooms and escargots). The sprawling space still has a billiards room at back, but it's now got an earthier, woodsier feel. And, let's hope, a luckier streak than its predecessors.
