In the photo studio at Gourmet magazine, pastry chef Sam Mason recently showed off several dishes from his yet-to-be-named SoHo restaurant. Most fall previews listed it as opening this month, but Mr. Mason explained, “It takes a lot longer to build a restaurant than I thought.” His restaurant is now scheduled to open next year, which leaves plenty of time to come up with a name. Here’s a list of new places, all with names, reservation lines, and opening dates this month. But delays are often on the menu when it comes to new restaurants, so be sure to call ahead.
