From Eater: A mother-son restaurant in Williamsburg is giving a dash of fine-dining panache to Venezuelan cuisine. Ivo Diaz (the NoMad), his mother Isbelis Diaz, and consulting chef Luis Herrera (Cosme, Alto) lead the all-Venezuelan kitchen crew at Casa Ora — with Isbelis preparing classics like arepas and empanadas and the others making less internationally famous dishes.

Le Crocodile is now open at the Wythe Hotel
Le Crocodile/ Liz Clayman We still miss Reynard, which closed quietly back in September. Thankfully, we’re happy to report that a new restaurant has opened in the same space on the ground floor at the Wythe Hotel. Le Crocodile is a French bistro from the same people behind Greenpoint’s Chez Ma Tante serving up classic dishes like Grilled Chicken and Fries, Duck Leg, and Steak Tartare. The space has been updated with warmer lighting and a handful of comfortable booths up front. The service is outstanding, as is the food. In short, we highly recommend it. From TimeOut: If you’ve been to the hip Williamsburg hotel, you may remember it for its former restaurant, Reynard, once a part of…

Greenpoint Beer and Ale is reopening this spring, Northern Territory is not
We mentioned back in the fall that Greenpoint Beer and Ale and Northern Territory were set to be demolished for generic office space. Since then, Greenpoint Beer and Ale has shuttered but will happily be reopening this spring at 1150 Manhattan Avenue. No date has been announced, but their colorful beer tower has arrived. Northern Territory had initially hoped to reopen in its current location for one final summer, but Greenpointers reports that their plans have changed: This past November, we announced that Northern Territory would be hibernating for the winter and planned to reopen this Spring (as in now) for their final year at the corner of Franklin and Meserole Avenue…
Fornino has closed its Williamsburg location
After fifteen years in the neighborhood, Fornino has closed. The popular pizza restaurant opened its doors on Bedford Ave. before moving to a new location on South 2nd and Kent Avenues in 2017. Owners have posted a sign on their door announcing the closure. It remains unclear why they closed, but their locations in Greenpoint and Brooklyn Bridge Park are still open for business.
