2026 arrivals

Lonnies

Boerum Hill · Restaurant & bar
112 Bond Street
Opened · May 2026

Sean Rembold and Caron Callahan’s follow-up to Ingas Bar. Seasonal cooking, a serious burger and a designer’s eye for the room, right at Bond and Pacific.

Frenzie

Brooklyn Heights · Pizza & wine
129 Atlantic Avenue
Opened · August 13, 2026

Sourdough pies and natural wine from the Confidant team, next door to their restaurant. Walk-ins only, with late-night service on weekends.

Light Switch

Carroll Gardens · Café & wine bar
333 Court Street
Opened · August 25, 2026

Coffee in the morning, wine at night. Reclaimed boardwalk timber and water-tower cedar give the room its texture; the menu moves from pastries and baguettes to cheese and fondue.

Pony’s

Red Hook · Cocktail bar
424 Van Brunt Street
Opened · August 22, 2026

Elana Shvalbe and Michael Furac’s bar in a former yoga studio. Cocktails and Eastern European small plates—a reason to head down to Van Brunt.

Sea & Soil

Boerum Hill · Bakery
388 Atlantic Avenue
New location · Spring 2026

A worker-owned bakery with naturally leavened bread, thoughtful sandwiches and a cassette listening station. A strong neighborhood fit: everyday food with a point of view.

Confidant

Brooklyn Heights · Restaurant
Relocated · February 2026

Seasonal cooking in a new neighborhood home after Industry City. Included for its more intimate scale and FOUND’s early enthusiasm for the move.

Earlier arrivals, worth keeping

Lindquist

Boerum Hill · Objects & leather goods
406 Atlantic Avenue
Opened · November 2025

Rhode Island-made leather goods with a focus on materials and the people making them. The Atlantic Avenue shop also hosts visiting makers—a good match for your interest in objects with a story.

Diljān

Brooklyn Heights · Afghan bakery
330 Hicks Street
Open by spring 2026

Afghan baking from the Little Flower team and Bryan Ford. The combination of a specific food tradition and a carefully considered small space makes this more compelling than another generic pastry stop.

Golden Ratio

Clinton Hill · Cocktail bar
216½ Greene Avenue
Open by spring 2026

Seasonal cocktails and considered non-alcoholic drinks from the Place des Fêtes and Cafe Mado team. The draw is attention to ingredients and hospitality, with a reason to return as the menu changes.
