Sam Talbot Finds His Groove in Montauk; Whole Foods Unpacking in Tribeca

Astoria: Tonight at Mojave (and every other Thursday), you get a free margarita and tequila tasting with dinner. [Joey in Astoria]
Clinton Hill: The owners aren’t out at Los Pollitos (now called La Stalla), but they did take a new business partner. Il Torchio, however, has changed hands. [Clinton Hill Blog]
Dumbo: Farmers-market season starts June 15 at the Main Street entrance of Brooklyn Bridge Park. [Dumbo NYC]
Little Italy: La Esquina has changed its secret reservation line. [Eater]
Montauk: Sam Talbot seems to be off to a running start at Surf Lodge, which looks like a “throwback to seventies surf culture and Bruce Brown’s iconic Endless Summer movie.” The summer-style food and sophisticated cocktails are serious, and the spot’s already hosting after-parties.

Tribeca: Workers have already started unloading products at the new Whole Foods opening on Warren Street by the West Side Highway. [Grub Street]
