From coast to coast, America’s restaurateurs are getting ready to unleash a whole new crop of restaurants upon the nation in what promises to be a busy Fall openings season.
Prominent chefs are spreading their wings in new cities: Daniel Boulud, for example, is opening in Boston and Washington, DC (Bar Boulud, DBGB Kitchen + Bar). Other big names are sticking to their home turf, like José Andrés (China Chilcano, Washington, DC), Chris Cosentino (Cockscomb, San Francisco), Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo (Jon & Vinny’s, Los Angeles), Michael Solomonov (Abe Fisher, Philadelphia), and Paul Kahan (Dove’s Luncheonette, Chicago).
There are also some exciting moves. NYC expat Sara Kramer is setting up in Los Angeles with a falafel shop, Matt Jennings has left Providence behind for Boston (Townsman), and Gavin Kaysen has left the Boulud empire to open his own restaurant in Minneapolis (Merchant). Below, the wonder and madness that will be dining in Fall 2014:

The Maialino team within Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group is just about ready to welcome New Yorkers into this all-day pizza restaurant for the recently rebranded Martha Washington Hotel. According to Eater NY, Marta will be offering a menu that puts its eight-foot open-fire grill and two wood-burning pizza ovens to good use.
