RYU, the meatpacking restaurant from Scott Disick and Fatty Cue’s Jesse Carmac, is opening a “snack window” this weekend. If you like Keeping up with the Kardashians — and Disick, by extension — swing by the window Saturday at 2 p.m., when he’ll be serving pork tonkatsu, teriyaki cheese steak, and other Japanese-inspired to-go items. The window will be open every Thursday through Saturday, 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 12 a.m. to 4 a.m. And just in case hours are hard to remember, a red light above the unassuming window on Greenwich Street will let the neighborhood lunch crowd and late-night clubgoers know when it’s open.

Num Pang is teaming up with Floyd Cardoz to benefit charity as a part of their Chefs Give Back series.

The sandwich sells for $9.25, $6 of which will go to the Young Scientist Foundation, an organization encouraging kids to discover a passion for science, and Tuesday’s Children, a nonprofit that provides support and services for children affected by 9/11.
