With a new restaurant by Alon Shaya opening in New Orleans and the return of Una Pizza Napoletana to New York City, the second week of May is particularly thrilling for food lovers. Families celebrating Mother’s Day, meanwhile, can toast mom with a spa and afternoon tea package, or an indulgent Middle Eastern brunch.

New Orleans: Saba

Late last week, James Beard Award-winning chef, Alon Shaya (Shaya) opened a new modern Israeli restaurant in the Big Easy. The menu celebrates Shaya’s heritage and Israel’s diverse and overlapping cuisines, featuring dishes like harissa-roasted chicken, hummus with lamb and pickled apricots, labneh cheesecake capped with cardamom meringue, and wood-fired pita baked with locally-milled flour. Saba means grandfather in Hebrew. A sister restaurant Safta (grandmother), is slated to open in Denver this summer. 5757 Magazine St.; eatwithsaba.com.

New York City: Una Pizza Napoletana Returns

Last week, pizzaiolo Anthony Mangieri’s iconic Neapolitan-style pizza restaurant returned to New York City after eight years in San Francisco. Mangieri’s approach remains the same–handmade rounds baked with naturally-leavened dough and a carefully curated selection of toppings. His new chef-partners Jeremiah Stone and Fabian von Hauske Valtierra (Contra, Wildair), meanwhile, turn out a series of small plates to match the pies. (Think: shaved turnips with ‘nduja-mascarpone, and lobster oil preserved tomatoes with burrata.) 175 Orchard St; 646-692-3475; unapizza.com.

Limerick, Ireland: The Carriage House at Adare Manor

On May 8, the 5-star hotel will welcome a restaurant, terrace, and bar that serves the resort’s guests and golf community by day and transforms into a dining destination at night. The art deco-inspired space will be illuminated by a seeded glass skylight and gold leaf mirrored wall panels. On the menu: charcoal grilled beef, Connemara lamb, and Atlantic lobster. An intimate cigar bar, outfitted with bronze and burgundy fabric, will sit next door for diners who want to end the night with a cigar and a glass of whiskey. Adare, Co. Limerick; 35-3/6160-5200; adaremanor.com.
