Eater - The Most Exciting Restaurant Openings in New York City This Fall

In November, Anoop Pillarisetti will bring the flavors of his native Louisiana to Strange Delight in Fort Greene; the restaurant is a partnership with fellow Shake Shack alum Michael Tuiach and the chef Ham El-Waylly. There are several types of oyster preparations on the menu, including chargrilled — a nod to New Orleans icon, Casamento’s. In doing pop-ups, Pillarisetti says they found there was unexpected excitement around their sandwiches, so they’re doubling down with versions like a shrimp, oyster, peach, and Creole cream-cheese sandwich; along with seasonal sandwich specials (soft shell crab, fried green tomato). Bartender John deBary will offer versions of a Sazerac and the Ramos Gin Fizz. Sommelier Miguel de Leon, of Pinch Chinese acclaim, has put together a list of biodynamic bottles. 63 Lafayette Avenue, near Fulton Street, Fort Greene
