NYC Foie Gras Ban Overturned — For Now - Eater NY
"Michelin-starred sushi bro destination Noda from Shigeyuki Tsunoda is opening Shinji’s, a cocktail bar named for the Tokyo fixer Shinji Nohara connecting travelers to food and restaurants in Tokyo for 20 years — including the late Anthony Bourdain. The location at 37 W. 20th street near 6th Avenue, debuts Wednesday, September 21, with a menu of nostalgia cocktails served at the bar and at tableside bar carts. A spokesperson says that Ken Fulk designed the space, which includes a gold-granite-topped bar with a bronze octopus that hangs overhead. The partners include David Hess, architect Aiden Carty, and Justin Hauser, also of Noda." - Melissa McCart
