To state the obvious: You can’t see New York City in 36 hours. You could easily fill a couple of days eating your way down one street in Jackson Heights, Queens, or spend an entire weekend uncovering corners of Central Park. This guide is not designed to check landmarks off a list, but rather to offer visitors one slice of life in New York (minus the laundry schlepping and skyrocketing rent). Below you’ll find a subterranean piano bar, a hidden garden, market shopping against the backdrop of an unbeatable skyline and some big-picture and hyperlocal history to bring you a...

When it comes to flavor, there's sour, sweet, salty, and bitter. You can probably name foods that fall into each of those categories. But what about umami? It's that sometimes forgotten-about fifth element of taste that can be hard to describe. We reached out to chefs who create umami-rich dishes every day to figure out what umami is, what ingredients have it, and how you can use it in your kitchen.

A new Japanese marketplace connecting New Yorkers to the trendiest Tokyo brands opened in Brooklyn last week. Located on Norman Avenue in Greenpoint, 50 Norman is made up of three separate stores, Dashi Okume, Cibone, and House Brooklyn, all making their New York City debut. Japanese architect Jo Nagasaka designed the 3,500-square-foot space to capture the authentic essence of Japan in New York City, with the use of reclaimed wood from a demolished house in Kyoto.

An authentic slice of Tokyo in New York City. We’re talking 50 Norman, a unique new venue in the waterside Greenpoint area of Brooklyn where three of the Japanese capital’s finest establishments present their coveted merchandise. Named after its very address in the borough’s Greenpoint area, 50 Norman is a market-inspired retail concept which occupies a 3,500 sq.ft. (325 sqm.) unit on the premises of a low-rise industrial building. As for its interior design, it’s hardly a surprise that architect Jo Nagasaka, who heads Tokyo-based practice Schemata and is known for his ability to recontextualise industrial materials and masterfully tweak...

New Yorkers who are looking to get a little taste of Tokyo can avoid the 14-hour long flight time and head over to Greenpoint instead. 50 Norman, a new and authentic Japanese marketplace, just opened at (you guessed it) 50 Norman Street, and it brings the true essence of three different Tokyo brands to the city. Sprawling across 3,500 square feet and designed by acclaimed Japanese architect Jo Nagasaka, 50 Norman features a space dedicated to lifestyle and art, culture, and dining, with all three brands debuting for the first time in New York.

A private preview took place Wednesday.

【ニューヨーク時事】米ニューヨークで１６日、日本料理に欠かせない「だし」を専門的に取り扱う店が開業した。日本産の天然魚介類などの乾物を用い、客の好みに応じ、だしパックを製造・販売する。和食が世界的な広がりを見せる中、だし文化の浸透を図るのが狙いで、こうした専門店は米国では初めてという。店を開いたのは、創業１５０年を超える東京・豊洲市場の水産仲卸業「尾粂商店」。「ＤＡＳＨＩ　ＯＫＵＭＥ（ダシオクメ）」の看板を掲げた店舗では、店員がショーケース内のかつお節などの魚や昆布、キノコ類を基本として、客の相談に乗りながら組み合わせを助言。トマトなどの野菜も含めた素材は３０種類に上り、配合を決めた後は店内の機械で粉砕や袋詰め作業を行う。

The trio of restaurants and bars planned for the former Del Posto space will be completed this weekend, as Discolo opens its doors. Mel’s, the pizzeria came first, followed by Al Coro, the Italian fine dining spot helmed by chef Melissa Rodriguez. An underground cocktail bar with a light-up ceiling that’s synced to music apparently completes the scene. Discolo opens on September 17 with a drinks list from Matt Reysen, who also handles the beverage program at Al Coro. Cocktails, which start at $19, include a fruited-up mezcal Negroni and an Appletini made with champagne and chamomile. Dinner at the...

If you’ve ever walked into a shop where you’ve wanted to hold every little thing because of its finery, craftsmanship, and design, 50 Norman will make you feel like a kid in a candy shop.

The low-slung industrial building at 50 Norman Avenue in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, formerly housed an auto repair shop. Now a Japanese company specializing in the umami-rich broth dashi, among other things, will open a store on the premises on Friday. It will sell packaged dashi ingredient mixtures, $19 to $45 for 10, 15 or 30 bags, as well as other Japanese cooking products, and costumers will be able to order personalized dashi bases at a counter.
