Those fat cats at Goldman had better loosen their belts for Danny Meyer's second Manhattan location of barbecue joint Blue Smoke. Executive chef Kenny Callaghan offers the same pan-regional barbecue menu as at the 27th Street original (executed here by chef de cuisine Jeffrey Held), with the addition of a bar area sporting a new lineup of snacks, like various sausages, pickled shrimp, pork rinds, and more sharable bites. There's also a 30-strong bourbon selection and a barrel-aged cocktail Manhattan made with the spirit; suds lovers can quaff house-brewed beer. Blue Smoke Bake Shop, on site, takes care of the pies, cakes, and other desserts.  — Jenny Miller
