"Opening: October The Twenty Two, a London hotel and members-only club, is opening a branch in Union Square this September. Membership fees start at $1,200, but the ground-floor restaurant, from the team behind Raf’s and The Musket Room, will be open to the public. In a spacious room with a fireplace reclaimed from a European chateau, the all-day spot will serve Levantine food like lamb tartare, grilled octopus, and spaghetti with crab and saffron." - bryan kim
