Welcome back to New York Locals 👋
Each week we round up the best of the city—new openings, events, and things to do—plus custom maps, and the latest laughs from our iconic @newyorkers column.
⋆⭒TOP 5 WEEKEND ACTIVITIES⋆⭒
1. Korean Food, Soju Cocktails, and Seoul Street Energy in Midtown
 | Nogari is more than a Korean gastropub. Inspired by the streets of Euljiro, the Midtown spot was built over the course of a year to create a fully immersive experience where Korean food, soju cocktails, music, and design all come together under one roof. |
2. A New Smash Burger Spot Just Opened on the UES
 | Skinny Louie just opened on the Upper East Side, serving Black Angus smash burgers with crispy edges, melty cheese, and perfectly crisp fries. With only a handful of burgers, shakes, and a secret menu item, the spot is keeping things simple and doing it well. |
3. The SoHo Bakery Behind NYC’s Best Baguette
 | Crispy Heaven was voted home to one of NYC’s best baguettes, and with more than 180 baked fresh daily, it’s easy to see why. Come hungry for the bread sampler, stay for the short rib sandwich and brioche French toast that locals can’t stop talking about. |
4. Rooftop Movie Night Starts at Just $12
 | Rooftop Cinema Club in the Garment District is turning movie night into a full summer experience with lounge chairs, personal headphones, skyline views, and everything from cult classics to new releases. Tickets start at just $12, making it one of the easiest summer nights out in NYC. |
5. Free Pinsa Tastings Are Taking Over Eataly Flatiron This Week
 | National Pinsa Day is bringing a taste of Rome to Eataly Flatiron with authentic Di Marco Pinsa tastings, Vespa photo ops, and Roman-inspired festivities. If you’ve never tried pinsa, the lighter and crispier cousin of pizza, this is your chance. |
