Openings: Gita at Wink & Nod is now open (3 Appleton St. at Tremont Street). It’s the culinary incubator’s fifth pop-up and the first restaurant from chef Gita Kantrow. The Nepali-themed spot is open Monday through Saturday beginning at 5 p.m., with a bar and late-night menu coming soon. Look for momos in tomato chutney, garlic cheese naan, masala fried chicken, peppercorn-charred salmon, and cardamom shortcake. It replaces Greek pop-up Pelekasis.

The Fat Hen in Somerville is poised to open within La Brasa restaurant’s former market (124 Broadway at Glen Street), says a rep for the restaurant. Chef Michael Bergin comes from Manhattan’s Del Posto and A Voce, as well as L’Espalier. Bergin will serve fresh pasta, braised meats, and a “modest but mighty’’ wine list at the 30-seat space.

Downtown Crossing wine bar haley.henry has opened at luxury downtown high-rise 45 Province (45 Province St. at Bosworth Street).

Pair them with a selection of tinned fish from Portugal and Spain, crudo, toasts, and charcuterie. Chef de cuisine Carolina Curtin comes from Lynch’s Menton.

The legions who miss Somerville bao parlor DooWee & Rice have reason to rejoice: Chef Duy Tran has brought his signature Taiwanese steamed buns and spicy chicken hearts to Central Square lounge Monroe (450 Massachusetts Ave. at Brookline Street).
