"Connie Chung, an Eleven Madison Park alum, opened Milu during the pandemic in Flatiron, making it on Eater New York’s Eater Awards list in 2021 for its modern, fast-casual Chinese bowls. This year, she expanded to Williamsburg before shutting down the Brooklyn storefront after just a few months. Now, Chung is back to double down on Manhattan: She has signed a lease in Brookfield Place, set to open next year, according to a spokesperson." - Melissa McCart
"Remember offices? Well, when you return to one, we hope that it’s as close to Milu as possible. This Gramercy spot opened in October 2020, serving Chinese fast-casual bowls and platters like Mandarin duck in hoisin sauce and Sichuan-spiced cauliflower. For Lunar New Year, Milu is offering at-home dinners for two or four people (which cost $118 and $218 respectively), available for pickup on Thursday, February 11th, and Friday, February 12th. Each one comes with a whole salt-baked black bass, spicy sesame noodles, wontons, long beans with crispy pork belly, blood orange buns, and more. Don’t wait too long to commit, since the deadline for ordering is Sunday, February 7th." - hannah albertine
