Kings County Imperial Crosses the Bridge into Manhattan

"When Kings County Imperial first opened its doors in the ever-trendy Brooklyn neighborhood of Williamsburg, chef/owner Josh Grinker and his business partner Tracy Jane Young made a name for themselves by serving up a menu that didn't pull its punches. Now, Grinker and Young have expanded their reach across the Williamsburg Bridge, mere feet from the off-ramp, in the Lower East Side (LES) that has more characters than a Dostoyevsky novel. Kings County Imperial serves dishes from multiple regions of China, including both Canton and Sichuan. The space, which opened at the tail end of June, has a menu similar to its Brooklyn sister spot with corresponding headings and many shared dishes, including Sichuan standards such as mapo dofu and dry fried long beans. However, the new location has its own specialties, while the cocktail program—developed by Justin Lane Briggs (who holds the title of 'Booze Guru')—has expanded the drinks menu to focus on the rum-soaked traditions of Tiki." - Jacob Dean
