Hello again. Now that Frankenstorm Sandy has passed through the city, here’s a list of some bars and restaurants that are open now, if you need a bite to eat, a stiff drink, a hot toddy, or just some company. We’ve listed the openings we’ve heard about by neighborhood so you can chart your course accordingly. This post will be updated with news as we get it, so if you know of someplace that’s open, please let us know in the comments. And as always, stay safe out there. [Update 11/03: As of 12 p.m., most of New York City’s electrical service has been restored, and scores of restaurants — many of which are listed below as operating by candlelight — have already reopened, or will reopen, with full service throughout the weekend and on Monday.]
