Scaff@scaffnycNYC Restaurant + Bar Openings
Scaff finds the restaurants, bars, and cafes coming to New York before they open. Think of it as what's new in your neighborhood - and what's coming soon.
Built for the curious. Coming soon to the App Store.
This is the app
Each listing comes with a Scaff Score, why it matters, where it is, and when it's expected - confirmed by the operator or independent reporting.
The sign is up at 834 Seventh Avenue, and New York's famous pastrami name is preparing to return.
Why it matters
This is more than another opening. It is the revival of a New York institution, backed by first party signage, current buildout evidence, and multiple reports.

A new space changes hands. Something is coming.
