Restaurant Week Extended (Kinda); Blackbird Bar Opens Tonight on Avenue B

• While Restaurant Week technically ends on August 10, almost 150 restaurants throughout the city just aren’t quite ready to give it up. As a part of the NYC Go Prix Fixe promotion, they’ll be continuing the special pricing options through to September 3. Get booking. [Grub Street]

• Raffaele Ronca (formerly of Bellavitae and Palma) recently opened up his new Ristorante Rafele in the West Village, and, uh, apparently they’re serving some amazing cocktail that involves Lambrusco-soaked peaches. We’re in. [Grub Street]

Maison Premiere, home of what may be the prettiest garden in the five boroughs, is upping its food game with a new chef (Jared Stafford-Hill, formerly of Adour, Gramercy Tavern, and Craft) and a new expanded menu. [Diner’s Journal/NYT]

• Chef Nick Anderer of Maialino takes you on a tour of his favorite places for after-dark eats. [Thrillist]

• Blackbird opens tonight at 9 in the old Lakeside Lounge space on Avenue B and East 10th Street. [EV Grieve]

BLT Fish Shack celebrates Shark Week by offering their Shark Bite cocktail at happy hour prices all day long, through the 18. [Grub Street]

• Belgian chocolatier Neuhaus opens up their fourth location in NYC, this time in another borough, with a “luxury kiosk” at the Queens Center Mall. [Grub Street]

• Eat your way around the world and back at the Travel + Leisure Global Bazaar, from Sept. 28 to 30. Tickets on sale now. [Grub Street]

The Court Bar at the Court Hotel is doing a thing now where anyone possessing a monthly, weekly, or ten-trip Metro-North Railroad pass gets a free second round of drinks. Which makes the commute a little bit easier, at least. [Grub Street]
