FROM LEFT: Fulton; Billy's Bakery; L'Artusi.

Good Catch
Named for the famed fish market and opened by the people behind Citarella, Fulton offers a vast, seafood-heavy menu that goes beyond the usual suspects. Starters include dishes like grilled octopus with chermoula (Moroccan spice blend), potatoes and frisée; and grilled sardines with panzanella (Tuscan salad) and basil. For entrées, try snapper with crab broth, artichokes and Bibb lettuce; halibut with rock shrimp and chanterelles; or diver scallops with sunchokes, crispy pork and romesco. And if you’re skewing toward turf, there’s a New York strip steak as well as chicken with polenta and mushrooms. (Don’t forget the ultrarich macaroni and cheese.) Fulton, 205 East 75th Street, 212-288-6600.

Piece of (Cup) Cake!
If you’ve ever wandered into the jewelbox- sized confines of Billy’s Bakery in Chelsea and thought, “If only it were a little bigger,” your prayers have been answered: Billy’s recently opened a Tribeca location that’s almost twice the size of the original. Not only is this great news for the cupcake haven’s many neighborhood fans, but the larger dimensions mean that Billy’s can now churn out larger orders for its corporate and custom customers as well. Even better news? If you’re feeling lazy, Billy’s now delivers throughout Manhattan. Billy’s Bakery, 75 Franklin Street, 212-647-9956.

Fun on a Bun
From Heartland Brewery comes HB Burger, a welcome addition to the Midtown lunch black hole, and nothing on the menu costs more than $9. (Yes, you read that right.) The Angus, turkey, tuna, veggie and buffalo burgers are all served on toasted potato rolls, and can be paired with a side salad (you can also get a full-size version), tempura veggies, tater tots or a fried dill pickle spear. Another highlight is, of course, the beer selection. What better way to polish off a taco turkey burger than with a pint of Indiana Pale Ale? HB Burger, 127 West 43rd Street, 212-575-5848.

Round Two
Joe Campanale and Gabriel Thompson’s L’Artusi exudes the same refined-rustic atmosphere as their West Village trattoria Dell’anima, while expanding on its casual-bar/dining capacity. A 30-seat marble-topped bar offers diners a chance to sample a crudo and cheese “program” before moving to the dining room to try Thompson’s menu, which includes thinly sliced scallops dappled with lemon zest and Espelette pepper, seared monkfi sh with mushrooms and celery-root purée, and a coconut semifreddo atop almond cake and pooled chocolate ganache. Campanale’s wine list is also a major attraction, full of offbeat Italian labels and several biodynamic offerings. L’Artusi, 228 West 10th Street, 212-255-5757.
