As the clock strikes midnight, a sea of social media posts flood our feeds, boasting resolutions that read like indulgent manifestos: "I'm eating more cheese," or "This year, I'm on a chocolate quest." The truth is, these quests aren't about deprivation, but about embracing our cravings and exploring new flavors.
For foodies, the start of a new year means an onslaught of exciting openings to try. January brings not one, but two restaurants that embody this spirit – Buddy Buddy, a haven for nut butter enthusiasts, and Chim Chim, a Thai dessert shop with a sweet tooth. Meanwhile, all-day cafes like Isla & Co. and Aperitivo by Carta are expanding their reach.
But if you're looking for more options, consider doubling down on your favorite spots or trying something new altogether. The Big Apple is rife with possibilities. From wine bars to steakhouses, noodle shops to Aussie cafes, there's a culinary adventure waiting to be discovered.
The following eight restaurants are opening in New York City this January, so mark them down and start planning your next quest:
1. A new location of Isla & Co.
2. Buddy Buddy
3. Chim Chim
4. Aperitivo by Carta

I'm so stoked for the foodie scene in NYC this January! 
The fact that we're seeing more all-day cafes and restaurants with unique twists is giving me LIFE 
Isla & Co.'s expansion and Buddy Buddy's nut butter heaven are definitely on my radar 
Can't wait to try Chim Chim's Thai desserts and Aperitivo by Carta's wine bar vibes 
isla & co and apertivo are already my fave spots in the city, but it's always exciting to see new options pop up. did you know that january is actually a great time to start trying out new foods because everyone's in a "resolution mode" 
and people are more open to new experiences? i'm all about exploring different cuisines, especially thai desserts like chim chim... have you ever tried making any of those dishes at home?
"Oh look at me trying the most expensive cheese platter ever!"... Gotta give credit to those cafes that actually care about their customers' experiences though. Isla & Co.'s all-day thing is pretty cool, I guess it's nice to have a spot where you can just hang out and not feel pressured about ordering something fancy. Buddy Buddy sounds like my kinda place tho, nut butters for life 
The idea that we can indulge in our cravings and try new flavors is so appealing, especially after a year of, ahem, let's just say "self-care" practices 
. But seriously, it's exciting to see restaurants popping up all over the city catering to different tastes. Isla & Co.'s expansion sounds like a great idea - their coffee game is always on point 
️! And I'm curious about Chim Chim's Thai desserts... has anyone tried their menu yet?
