Enter The Regal Diner and Cocktail Bar, the latest venture from former Taj frontwoman Delores Auguet and her partners from Hotel Chantelle on the Lower East Side. They've transformed the space (formerly Hope Garage) into a chic late-night dining option that opens in Williamsburg TODAY. The Regal is sexy without trying too hard, affordably priced (must mention because gentrified Brooklyn can get way out of hand) and I can attest that the food-- and service-- are divine.
Hubs and I headed over last night for a preview tasting. He kicked off the evening with the Everything Nice (vodka, bianco vermouth, lemon, spiced caster sugar, fresh basil, fresh berries).

He’s always eating at amazing-looking places I usually haven’t heard of, which is crazy, seeing as how, you know, I'm out a lot and I actively research where to go and what to do, especially in my home city, NYC, for a living. Everytime he posts from a restaurant, I screenshot his pics for further investigation.
Instead of continuing to e-stalk Kareem to find out where I should be eating next, I decided to stop being weird and ask. LOL. He came through with his top 10 Must Eats in NYC.
Enjoy.
