Introducing Ken & Cook, a raw bar/restaurant on Kenmare Street with a healthy surplus of seafood and a welcome surprise in the basement,
Remember that scene in Black Swan... You know, the one where the ballerina opens up an incredibly ornate restaurant that’s sort of Japanese, sort of French and sort of not subtle in any way, shape or form. Then, she makes out with Mila Kunis in the back of a cab. Well, this is exactly like... no. Wait. We’re totally mixing up two different
It’ll be a cold day in hell when you look to some other city to fulfill your savage Chinese-food desires. Or possibly a rainy day on the LES...
