Tailor Launches Late-Night Menu; Hamptons More Exclusive Than Ever

Hamptons: Sounds like the poor state of the economy is weeding out this year's batch of beachgoers. [Down by the Hipster]
Park Slope: Lookout Hill Smokehouse needs to work on its pulled pork, but its beer and bourbon selection is legit. [Mouthing Off/Food & Wine]
Soho: Tailor launches its late-night menu tonight, which runs from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. and includes plated dishes like grilled asparagus with poached-and-fried quail eggs and chorizo hollandaise, skate frites with purple potato tots, and the always-popular Tailor wings. [Grub Street]
A scathing crowd assessment at SubMercer: "The crowd itself isn't always up to par; you may find yourself mingling with the white v-neck-wearing Jersey set." Ouch. [Bottomless Dish/Citysearch]
Union Square: Savoy chef and Haute Barnyard guru Peter Hoffman is hosting a Greenmarket tour on June 25. [Zagat Buzz]
Williamsburg: The corner of Driggs Avenue and North 7th Street is getting a "Fiambreria and Queseria." Think it's "flaming cheese and fondue"? Let us know in comments. [Eater]

L.A. Horning In on BBQ Block Party; Hallo Berlin Express Opens in Midtown

Flatiron: This summer's Barbecue Block Party will have dark-horse representative from L.A., Mr. Cecil's California Ribs. [Zagat Buzz]
Harlem: El Morocco nightclub will be welcomed when it opens next month. "Since the closing of the Copacabana there is a shrinking number of places one could go to get their Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, and Reggaeton on!" [Uptown Flavor]
Midtown West: Hallo Berlin Express has opened at 744 Ninth Avenue, where it'll serve "meatballs, sauerkraut, sausages and potatoes" off the griddle. [Midtown Lunch via Eater]
Soho: SubMercer has a new cocktail called the Tequila Mockingbird with maraschino liqueur and grapefruit juice, but we'd guess guests will spend more time analyzing the menu's emblem of a lady on her back straddling a martini glass than they will thinking of the literary connotations.

Calorie Law Doomed?; Colicchio Hasn't Been to Ko Either

• The very study that was used by the Health Department to crusade for mandatory calorie posting in food chains may now be used by defense lawyers to undermine the law’s future. [NYS]

• Some Lower East Siders are not stoked about Bruce Willis opening the Bowery Wine Company, so they’re going to buy a pig, name it Bruce, and then eat it. [NYP]

• Wine bars are everywhere, and, thankfully, they’re a lot less stuffy than they used to be. [NYT]

‘BlackBook’ Calls It: Submercer Will Be ‘Next Beatrice’

Beyond the red door...Photo: Down by the Hipster

Back when we introduced you to the Beatrice Inn and predicted it would be the scenester spot of the season, we had no idea the “season” would last over a year. According to ever-with-it BlackBook, a lounge worthy of luring away everyone who’s sick of it has finally come along, and it’s the newly reopened Submercer. In attendance last night for a Radar Entertainment party: Mark and Charlotte Ronson, Marisa Tomei, Hana Soukupova, Sante D’Orazio, Alex Wang, and Ed Westwick. Also there, apparently, was Down by the Hipster’s Scott Solish, who posts a slideshow from the event (a big “heh!” to the haters).

Reopened Submercer Parties Like It's 2001

We’ve been hearing rumblings for a while now that Submercer, the onetime hot spot beneath the Mercer Hotel, was going to reopen. Now UrbanDaddy confirms it, and their description of how to find the place is the most exciting thing since those first giddy stirrings about La Esquina:

To get there, pass the Mercer Hotel (no. 147) and enter a little nook in the wall (no. 147 1/2). You'll know you're there when you see two unassuming henchmen hanging out in front of a doorway—just walk on by and enter the industrial freight elevator. Two floors underground, cruise down a long dark hallway stocked with bathroom supplies, turn left, pass the boiler room and then turn right through a heavy red door. One more hallway filled with wine and the faint sounds of lounge music will lead you to the promised land.

So Soho loungers now have a choice between Upstairs and downstairs. Good to have options.

Produce Carts Approved for Low-Income Areas; Calling a Clone a Clone

The City Council passed a watered-down version of Mayor Bloomberg’s proposal to place produce carts in low-income neighborhoods. The new plan cuts the total number down to 1,000 from 1,500 and reduces the number of targeted precincts from 43 to 34. [NYP]

The Post hit two midtown Starbucks yesterday and found that, while Tuesday night’s three-hour training session for baristas may not have instilled the ability to make perfect drinks, they will remake them as many times as you force them to. [NYP]

A City Council member introduced legislation yesterday that would require meat from cloned animals to be labeled as such. [Metro NY]
