NEW YORK CITY — A farm-to-table wine bar and a Russian-themed restaurant with vodka on tap are some of the new additions to the city’s food scene.

Here are four new places to try this weekend:

June at 231 Court St. in Cobble Hill

A member of the team behind popular Ditmas Park restaurant The Farm on Adderley has opened a wine bar that, like The Farm, has the mission of serving farm-to-table products. Tom Kearney opened June this week with a selection of natural wines mostly from smaller wineries that tend to use fewer chemicals and additives through a more traditional process. 

Locus at 23-14 Ditmars Blvd. in Ditmars

Locus, which opened on Jan. 2, is a cafe specializing in crepes and coffee drinks. Christina Canon and her mother Dina Kowalczyk, Locus' owners, have created a menu with “meal-sized” crepes that are either sweet or savory.

The Chopping Block at 41 John St. in the Financial District

Organic meats, freshly roasted vegetables and Balthazar Bakery bread make up a sandwich from the recently opened Chopping Block. The sandwich shop has six options that can either be served on bread or, for the calorie-conscious, on a bed of mixed greens. A meal costs between $9.50 and $12.

Masha and the Bear at 771 Grand St. in Williamsburg

A Russian-themed restaurant that has six vodkas on tap, along with 18 other drinks, has opened in Williamsburg. Masha and the Bear focuses on food and drink from the homeland of its Russian owners, Vitaly and Maria Sherman, who also own Beer Boutique.
