Headliner
Malibu Farm
This collection of restaurants, which began as a pop-up on Malibu Pier near Los Angeles and grew to seven locations across the United States and in Mexico, has opened its latest branch in the seaport district, also on a pier. Helene Henderson, a former private chef, opened the first spot in 2014, using ingredients from her ranch nearby. She says she has developed a menu that has wide-ranging appeal, across generations. “We’re cooking for people, not our egos,” she said. The food reflects California, not Ms. Henderson’s Nordic roots. Some of the restaurant’s specialties, like a fried egg sandwich, cauliflower-crust pizza, chicken-ricotta burger, a vegan “chop” made with an array of vegetables, and salmon niçoise, will be served in New York, executed by the chef Joseph Hirotsu. The décor, by Alexander Design, which has worked on all the Malibu Farm restaurants, is light and somewhat spare, and incorporates industrial touches in keeping with the building, on Pier 17. (Opens Sept. 4)
Pier 17, 89 South Street (Fulton Street), 212-265-3030, malibufarm.nyc.
Opening
Red Peony
Connie Zhang, who opened Royal Queen, a dim sum palace in Flushing, Queens, in 2014, is ready for Manhattan with this Chinese restaurant. It features the food of Shanghai, along with Sichuan and Cantonese specialties. The restaurant, on two floors in the former Joe’s Shanghai space, will serve soup dumplings in the style of Joe’s Shanghai. Peking duck and king crab will also be served. (Monday)
24 West 56th Street, 212-380-8883, redpeonyrestaurant.com.
Goosefeather
Having closed his restaurants in New York City, the chef Dale Talde is now headed north, to Westchester County. His new place will focus on the food of Hong Kong with dumplings, noodles and Cantonese barbecue, all given his personal spin. Potstickers made with dry-aged beef, char siu (roast pork), Berkshire pork collar with grilled scallions and spicy mustard, Cantonese roast duck, and shrimp and clam noodles are on the menu. Mr. Talde, who is known for his Asian fusion cooking, plans outdoor wood-fired roasts of lamb and pig. The restaurant occupies King Mansion on Tarrytown House Estate, above Sunnyside, the home of the writer Washington Irving. (Sept. 3)

Manero’s Pizza
This new slice shop on Mulberry Street in Little Italy has a menu of six varieties. The storefront, opened by the owners of Regina’s Grocery and others on the Lower East Side, gives a nod to “Saturday Night Fever” (and its lead character, Tony Manero) with a disco ball.

Sapphire
This Upper West Side Indian restaurant, which closed because its building is coming down, is reopening nearby. (Sunday)

Looking Ahead

218 West 40th Street.
