Mischa

Celebrated chef Alex Stupak is trading in his signature Empellón Mexican fare for New American cuisine at Mischa, his Midtown restaurant slated to open in late October. Expect fancifully reimagined takes on classic tavern food, like an upgraded hot dog made of brisket and topped with kimchee. The restaurant's website also hints at a return to his pastry roots.

Mischa, 157 East 53rd St.
