Panzerotti Bites looks for dough in B’klyn

How about an Italian snack that’s packed like a French crepe with either sweet or savory goodies before it’s fried like a Spanish empanada?

It’s panzerotti, of course, and Panzerotti Bites is coming to Brooklyn at 235 Smith St. to serve up the half-moon-shaped pockets of doughy goodness.

Vittoria Lattanzio and Pasquale De Ruvo, who hail from Italy’s Apulia region (the heel of the boot), will prepare the regional favorite. Savory fillings include meat and fish while white chocolate and Oreo cookies and Nutella with ricotta cheese are on the sweet side. News, jazz and cajun food devotés will be served at a new spot in Hell’s Kitchen. Emmy-winning news anchor Julian Phillips and jazz singer Barbara King are cooking up the hangout, a new restaurant called The Sound Bite at 737 Ninth Ave. whose look will be part-TV news studio and part-jazz supper club.

The cocktail menu will feature drinks named after TV slang, like The Live Shot, The Crash & Burn and The Headliner.

The 1,600-square-foot space for- merly housed Molloy’s Irish Pub.

To celebrate the new year, head to Hakubai, inside The Kitano Hotel at 66 Park Ave. It’s offering a traditional New Year’s Day Osechi Ryori feast, with items meant to ensure good health, fertility, a good harvest and a long life in 2018. The menu from chef Yukihiro Sato features herring roe for fertility and white and red fish cakes for purity and protection against evil.
