Nippori bringing Japanese to W 51st St soon

4 February 2014 10:09pm Nippori

Continuing what must be a new trend, a new foreign-​railway-​station-​named spot is coming soon. Nippori, a Japanese restaurant, is opening soon. Seemingly pulling the name from a station in Japan, the place is opening up slightly outside our usual area – just east of 8th Ave. Close enough…

We’ve had our eye on the place for some time…it’s been sitting dormant with the mystery papers for months now:

Managed to get a brief look inside once:

Way back when, the place used to be a dry cleaning/​laundry spot, but as we all know nobody wants that anymore… Anyway, with the Gershwin directly across the road, I’m sure the new place will do well with the post-​theatre crowds.
