101 new NYC restaurants

The latest buzz on new New York restaurants

Lower East Side: The year's most prolific restaurateur, Michael Bao Huynh, brings his 2009 tally to eight with Mikey's Burger (pictured).

East Village: $20 means all-you-can-eat Neapolitan pies at Numero 28 Pizzeria.

Upper East Side: A New American bistro opens in the Guggenheim Museum. It's called The Wright, and it sure is purdy.

Midtown East: Chom Chom loosely translates to "very, very good" in Korean. Confidence!

Williamsburg: The open-late M Noodle Bar pops up in North Brooklyn, serving Chinese-style soups and stir-frys.

Nolita: My Little Secret is not a plastic toy pony, it's an underground speakeasy serving snacks and drinks of the Italian persuasion.

Long Island City: A blend of international comfort foods is the main draw and cleverly named El Ay Si.
