"Opening: October Incredibly, not a sandwich shop. Heroes is an upcoming Soho restaurant from the people behind Tokyo Record Bar, Niche Niche, and Roscioli, with a name that references personal heroes like Julia Child and Sonia Sotomayor. The futuristic restaurant with lavender highlights will be whole animal-focused, serving crab beignets and turbot with chili butter, alongside wine from small producers. On the top floor, you’ll find a cocktail bar called Pearl Box, with wood paneling and red interiors channeling Playboy After Dark." - bryan kim
