"Set to open in Midtown early next year at 1251 Sixth Avenue near West 49th Street, Double Knot will bring the Philadelphia sushi restaurant’s theatrical, nightlife-driven vibe to New York; in Philadelphia it’s known for its scene—think clubstaurant Buddakan—and was called “nothing quite like Double Knot in Philadelphia in terms of a full-drama dining experience” by Craig LeBan, who described it as a “moody, bi-level Asia-plex” that offers a robatayaki grill and “extraordinary sushi” for dinner. It joins the Schulson Collective’s growing roster as the group expands into Manhattan." - Melissa McCart
