See what's on the menu at 3 of NYC's hottest new restaurants for summer 2025
Three fascinating new restaurants have opened their doors in New York City, just in time for summer. One elevates the pre-theater dinner dining scene for those looking for a great meal before Broadway, another lifts any occasion to the point of the divine, and the third is a new steakhouse from famed chef Daniel Boulud. All three must be experienced to be believed — by foodie locals and visitors alike. Gui Steakhouse | 776 Eighth Ave. 3 For an unforgettable appetizers and classic Korean dishes, check out Gui steakhouse, a new restaurant in the Theater District. Gui Steakhouse Advertisement This midtown Korean steakhouse looks unassuming from the outside — and even on the first floor where it seems like it is just a bar in the theater district. However, once you enter the elevator to the second floor, you are transported to an elegant, intimate setting where the perfect pre-theater meal awaits. But while Gui is a steakhouse — and the 34 oz. aged porterhouse grilled over binchotan charcoal was delicious — it's the starters and accoutrements that shine the brightest. Advertisement The Menbosha-gochugang remoulade shrimp toast served with sambal aoili topped off with amber kaluga caviar made my dinner companion and I groan in delight, and the Hwe Muchim, a take on hamachi crudo — cam as a papaya salad and leche de tigre topped with fermented cod powder and fresh chives. Afterwards, we dove into the mandoo, a gyoza with beef galbi and dried aged prime rib glass noodles and served with nuoc cham sauce. And don't forget to order the kimchi fried rice — complete with wagyu bits, sausage and house-made kimchi served with a fried egg on top. Gui is a steakhouse like no other in New York and should become a new staple in the theater district. Advertisement Joomak | 401 West St. 3 Ten courses and a luxury hotel experience? That's what's on offer at the new location of Michelin-starred Joomak. Andrew Sokolow For one of the most creative, innovative and just astounding dining experiences in New York, head to the new Joomak restaurant inside new luxury hotel The Madison Hudson, in the far West Village. Advertisement Chef Jiho Kim just opened up this new iteration of his Michelin-starred restaurant Joomak Banjum and, while it is pricey — it is worth every penny as each dish is intricately created by the master in the kitchen and perfectly paired with crafted cocktails … all served meticulously by a Per Se trained staff. The night I went, I had the $280, 10-course meal which included caviar served over a dill custard with Meyer lemon, white asparagus and mussels; Kanpachi (fluke) with cucumber pickled shallot and cucumber sorbet; seared scallops paired with black truffle, leeks, almond cotta and brown butter sabayon; king crab with a risotto, pickled Serrano, and fresh peas as well as a wagyu dish with grilled abalone and black truffle ponzu sauce. The overall feeling is that this wasn't just a meal, it was an experience. A visual, edible, feast like I have never had before. The only thing that rivals the food and the service is the room's ambience — made to feel as if you were a coveted guest in a chic home, the fireplace is lit and the few tables that there are (we counted seven) add to the intimacy. If the $280 tasting menu is too pricey, there is always the new bar menu which, as with the regular menu, changes frequently due to ingredient availability and chef creativity. But recent highlights included kampachi with razor clams, steelhead trout with English peas levain spaetzle and bacon broth as well as an American wagyu hanger steak served with Montauk red shrimp and gem lettuce. There are only five seats at the bar, so book now. La Tête d'Or | 318 Park Ave. S. Advertisement 3 A newcomer to the Flatiron District, French steakhouse La Tête d'Or is already becoming one of NYC's most difficult-to-secure reservations. Evan Sung Daniel Boulud's opulent new steakhouse in the Flatiron District has only been open just a few months, but already has a waitlist for reservations on Resy with over 1,000 people hoping to score a seat. And with good reason. Named for a park in Boulud's hometown of Lyon, France, the David Rockwell-designed restaurant is a masterpiece that has already earned a spot on Michelin's best steakhouse list. Advertisement The surf and turf menu is simple but the prime rib, slowly cooked for hours and sliced on a roving trolley tableside is quickly becoming a staple, as is the Caesar salad (made at the table) and the lavish seafood tower. Rivaling the food is the wine menu, full of rare Bordeaux and other delectable French offerings. The room itself is glamorous, grand and while technically huge, seems intimate due to table placement, wall drapings and perfect staging. In an already crowded field, La Tete D'Or is destined to become one of the city's top steakhouses.

The Key Factor That Determines When Your Child Will Take Their First Steps
Fact checked by Sarah ScottIn a new study from the University of Surrey, researchers looked at genetic information of more than 70,000 infants. They found genetics accounted for nearly 25% of the variation in the walking milestone. This information may help health care providers assess and evaluate reasons for a child's delay in walking.A baby's first wobbly steps are a source of pride for many parents. A child's environment has long been associated with when they will walk. Yet, a groundbreaking study from the University of Surrey discovered that genetics also play a significant role. What does this research mean for parents and their babies? Let's break it down. Study authors, Anna Gui, PhD, a researcher at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, and Angelica Ronald, PhD, professor of psychology and genetics at the University of Surrey, and their research team analyzed the genetic information of more than 70,000 infants. They identified 11 genetic markers that may influence a child's brain development from birth and the timing of independent walking. The study revealed that genetics account for nearly 25% of the variation in this milestone. The study also revealed some good news for late walkers. While some previous studies linked early walking to higher achievement later in life, this study found a correlation between the genes influencing later walking and those associated with higher educational attainment. The research also indicates that late walking may be genetically linked to a decreased chance of developing attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Keep in mind, the research did not define what's considered late walking. 'What we think it might mean is that children who are genetically predisposed to be a bit more active and move around more are also going to walk a bit earlier,' explain both Dr. Gui and Dr. Ronald. 'It's important to clarify that the association is significant but modest. Therefore, we don't expect all early walkers to have ADHD, or all people with ADHD to have walked early. But there is a modest overlap in the genetic variation involved, which may help understand child development a bit further." A child's genes may influence when they walk, but so does their environment. Dr. Gui and Dr. Ronald recommend that children need a nutritious, energy-sustaining diet and ample space to practice their walking skills. Michael Glazier, MD, a pediatrician and chief medical officer for Bluebird Kids Health, agrees that a nourishing diet matters, as malnourishment can result in "decreased energy, decreased engagement with the environment, decreased muscle strength, and decreased stamina.' But that's not all parents should focus on. 'Babies who are constantly held or placed in swings or other constrained environments do not get the opportunity to engage in the physical exploration that is not just helpful but necessary for learning to walk,' explains Dr. Glazier. In contrast, he says, infants in safe, open spaces who can explore on their own may develop walking skills earlier. Encourage your child to play and explore to help them develop their motor skills. Dr. Glazier reassures parents that it's OK if their child is upset when a toy is out of reach—they need to learn to problem-solve and strengthen their muscles. Many parents eagerly anticipate their child's first steps, assuming they'll occur by the child's first birthday, but Dr. Glazier says there is a wide range of 'normal' milestones. Studies show the average onset of walking is between 8 and 18 months. Dr. Glazier says that gross motor skills tend to progress from the 'top-down' as babies first gain some control of their head, followed by the shoulders and trunk, knees, and legs. 'It is also important to understand there is a range of normal, and early attainment does not necessarily mean earlier or eventual better mastery,' he states. Still, if you're ever concerned about your child's motor skills' progress, Dr. Glazier strongly suggests contacting your health care provider for an assessment. Here are a few indicators your child may need an assessment, according to Dr. Glazier: Not pulling up to stand by 12 months Not cruising (using objects for support to move around) by 15 months Not walking independently by 18 months Dr. Glazier also notes that an infant who cannot walk independently but can stand on their own and walk by holding on to things is less concerning than one who has not been able to do these things yet. Typical developmental evaluation for motor delays will involve close observation, collecting patient history, and a thorough physical exam, explains Dr. Glazier. He recommends having videos to show the health care provider what your child can and cannot do. Although this new genetic study will not replace the need for individual examinations, Dr. Glazier believes it does promise additional information for health care providers to help them assess and evaluate the reasons for a child's delay in achieving the walking milestone. Dr. Gui and Dr. Ronald hope their research better supports children with learning disabilities and motor disorders, and helps parents to see that achieving milestones is not a race and that every child learns at their own pace.

Brazilian Bodybuilding Champion Guilherme Henrique Dies At 30, Autopsy Ordered
A Brazilian bodybuilding champion, known in the sport as Gui Bull, died on Monday at age 30. According to TMZ, Guilherme Henrique was a top bodybuilder and a popular figure in the Maringa fitness community. He competed in several events, including the Classic Physique and Classic Bodybuilding categories. The cause of his death has not officially been disclosed. However, his girlfriend Jessica Belenello wrote a lengthy message on her Instagram story, revealing that the 30-year-old died after suffering from asphyxiation. "The cause of his death was asphyxiation due to bronchoaspiration and has nothing to do with the speculation that has been circulating," Ms Belenello wrote in an Instagram post, as per TMZ. "Gui is the love of my life. He was an incredible person, full of light, and deserves to be remembered as such. The pain of his loss is immense, and we will treat him with the dignity he deserves," she added. Separately, the Parana Fisiculturismo federation also confirmed Mr Henrique's demise, releasing a statement on Facebook, describing him as a "giant-hearted human being". "We remember with fondness your first firm and dedicated steps at Parana Bodybuilding, where your passion and talent already shone brightly," the federation said. "His journey in bodybuilding was marked by his determination and his love for the sport. Our sincere solidarity to the family, friends, and the entire bodybuilding community. May you find comfort in each other and be sure that Gui will always be present in our memories," the statement added. Brazilian authorities have ordered an autopsy into the details surrounding his tragic death. Guilherme Henrique won five titles in his career and had a strong following in the fitness community in his homeland. He had a degree in Biology from the State University of Parana, as well as both a master's and a PhD in Biochemistry. He was pursuing a degree in Nutrition at the University Centre of Maringa before his death. Soon after the news of his demise was released, tributes poured in for the star online. "Go with God Gui... We love you," wrote one user. "Wow, so young. My sincere condolences to the family," commented another. Mr Henrique's death comes months after a 20-year-old bodybuilder in the US died after suffering a fatal heart attack while attending a sports festival. It also comes after 44-year-old German bodybuilder and Netflix star, Vittorio Pirbazari, died in April after collapsing while running on a treadmill.

Smell the flowers: Spending time in nature can be a balm in stressful times
Gilles Gui was looking for the magical purple bluebells that raise their heads each spring under the budding beech leaves of the Hallerbos forest, an annual explosion of colour that draws crowds from around the world. And in these times full of stress and anxiety about wars, economic threats and other tensions, he found something else too: a sense of tranquillity. 'I notice that there's a lot of silence in my head when I'm done,' Gui said. 'Yeah, it helps me keep some peace in my mind, really just take my mind away from everything that's going on.' Spending time in nature, experts have long said, can be a balm in troubled times. 'From a stroll through a city park to a day spent hiking in the wilderness, exposure to nature has been linked to a host of benefits, including improved attention, lower stress, better mood, reduced risk of psychiatric disorders, and even upticks in empathy and cooperation,' a 2020 article of the American Psychological Association said. In many countries, spring is a good time to de-stress, especially when flowers like the bluebells are blooming. 'These are extraordinary times,' said Ignace Glorieux, a sociology professor at Brussels University in Belgium, adding that the under-30 generation in particular is under pressure. 'This is also the generation maybe that suffered most from the Covid-19 crisis,' Glorieux said. 'And now they come into a situation where there's a lot of international uncertainty. So especially this group, maybe more than (the older) generation, is suffering from that and feels very uncertain about their future.' Gui, 26, knows what Glorieux is talking about. 'I do know of people my age who are worried and also with financial situations going on, who try to keep level heads, but it's very hard for them,' he said. During the pandemic, the bluebell woods were closed off for fear that throngs of people would make it a hive of transmission instead of a haven of peace. Restrictions kept some parks under seal and mandated masks in some others. 'It was a difficult period for everyone,' said Mark Demesmaeker, a former member of the European Parliament, gardening enthusiast and city councillor in Halle, Germany, where he has walked the woods for decades. Now, at least, nature is there to welcome those with anxious minds. 'These bluebells – but in other times of year as well ... walking here, the forest valleys, the wildlife, the forest streams – you know, they work into your mind all year round. And it's really a big green hug that you get here,' Demesmaeker said. That hug from nature is just about everywhere right now. Japan is awash in a sea of cherry blossoms, which mesmerise people around the world. Bluebell season also coincides with the prime tulip season in the Netherlands. The renowned Keukenhof garden there has become a playground for influencers and those seeking that ultimate selfie. The Keukenhof and the Dutch tourism board suggest good spots to 'make your image come alive'. To Glorieux, that's where 21st-century humans push it too far. 'We have to be busy all the time, even in our leisure time,' he said. 'We have to perform.' Instead, he advised, 'Focus! If you go out walking, focus on walking. If you go out jogging, focus only on jogging.' Such advice was not wasted on Philippe Thiry, 64, a southern Belgian recently retired and ready to embrace the rest of his life. He had no phone as he set off in the sunshine to look for bluebells. 'I don't want to use it here because I'm here just to relax,' he said. 'I mean, just to see the flowers and to see, to listen to the birds. 'I want to be disconnected.' – AP

Bluebells and other spring flowers can be nature's antidote to stressful times
Two women ride horses in a path full of bluebells, also known as wild hyacinth, in the Hallerbos forest, south of Brussels, Belgium.
