Kinjo is such a great addition to the food desert that is Dumbo! Aside from the great omakase, I find the cocktail lounge’s vibes to be totally transportive. So happy to see this well-deserved coverage!

Love to hear that! I was impressed by the cocktail lounge, too. And totally agree that it's a great (and much-needed) addition to Dumbo.

I also wrote a guide with 50 New York restaurant recs. Might be worth saving this, too! https://getextracredit.substack.com/p/50-yes-50-restaurant-recs-from-new

Yes. Just yes, it is. Let me break it down for you.

As someone who has done authentic Japanese omakase in the middle of Tokyo Japan, this is the SAME EXPERIENCE. the head chef is amazing, the food is amazing, and the cocktails are FIRE. if you're following Japanese whiskey trends-- this is the place to be.
