Astoria: From now until New Year’s Eve, guests at Pomme, a nouveau French-Latin-Asian-Mediterranean bistro, will receive a $20 gift card for meals totaling $60 or more. Because it’s wanton to not gift someone (or yourself) with some wasabi cream and wontons. [Grub Street]
East Village: Introducing Xe May Sandwich Shop, a Vietnamese sandwich shop that apparently also sells tacos. But that’s if you consider tacos to be of the traditional PB&J; variety. [EV Grieve]
Prima’s new happy-hour special/raw bar is complete with two-for-one oysters and cocktails with names like the Last Cocktail. So, get ready for that ominously delicious combination. [Grub Street]
Hell’s Kitchen: La Silhouette is launching a takeout service for offices and individuals, with fare including sandwiches, whole roast chickens, and soups. [Grub Street]
Upper West Side: As you know, we love latkes. Like, a lot. So it would be rude of us not to let you all know that Telepan will be serving the potato kind, starting tomorrow, in honor of Hanukkah. Go. [Grub Street]
West Village: Chef Raffaele Ronca is bringing Italy to his soon-to-be-opened restaurant, Rafele, which of course is named after him, but was likely shortened for chicness’ sake. But it’s not just the name that’s going to be authentic. For one, there will be outdoor seating once it stops being gross outside. Then, Zagat tells us that a “custom-made Acunto brick oven and rotisserie are coming direct from the old country to turn out signatures like stuffed quail and porchetta.” Fancy! [Zagat Buzz]
