Unfortunately I can’t post the RW menu at Le B, even though I’m sitting at the bar right now, because they “don’t do Restaurant Week on the weekends,” and in any event, “yesterday was the last day.”  Which seems like a blatant lie. 

Did you end up staying for dinner or going elsewhere?

Just for the burger.  Ironically, I would have spent 2x more if they had had the RW menu on offer.

No mention of Alex Stupak's Otter here. I just read Rosner on it in the new NYer and it certainly sounds interesting.

Reservations are, for once,wide open. So we shall see.

Yes, and a pretty good one too...Aburiya Kinnosuke.

I sorta remember them doing the thing with bonito shavings, making them look as if they were alive.

went to Veerays last week. kid loved the lamb chops, i got my crispy okra. overall the food was very good. odd concept and they only offered us the prix fixe menu, we were the only other table so service was great. the person who chose the restaurant was curious to see how the whole speakeasy theme was presented which is how we ended up there.

What didn't he learn the first couple of times around?

Guy Fieri’s New Times Square Restaurant Launches With a Sputter

Quote

 

Over the weekend, Fieri returned to Times Square with Chicken Guy!, a fried chicken chain he has been expanding across the country (138 W. 42nd Street, between Broadway and Sixth Avenue). It’s a big moment for the brand: Of the 25 locations that are open or coming soon, this is the first in New York City. The original Chicken Guy! opened in 2018 at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.

The scene: Times Square, of course, has changed since Fieri was there last. The neighborhood has become the epicenter of fast-casual fried chicken, with new locations of the Filipino brand Jollibee, Chick-fil-A, Raising Cane’s, and Birdbox, the offshoot of a Michelin-starred restaurant in San Francisco. That might explain why the crowds were thin on opening day at Chicken Guy!.

The Fieri spot was deserted an hour after doors opened at 11 a.m. on January 31. There were a couple of people seated toward the back of the restaurant, past the open kitche

 

n and next to the Jumbotron playing reruns of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, but otherwise, the dining room was empty.
