Iron Chef Returns to Tribeca

Tribeca reataurant lovers are a-buzz regarding Masaharu Morimoto's plans to open a casual Japanese restaurant/ bar on Church Street. Here is an excerpt from a post on Eater:

Morimoto has taken the former Dennis Foy on Church St. to do a mid-priced funky place catering to the late-night crowd. Should be a great hangout for foodies and chefs at 2-4 AM... He talked about how he missed Tribeca since he used to be at Nobu and really likes the 'hood. He's looking forward to doing something more low-key (more of a neighborhood place) than in the Meatpacking.

Rosanjin

Rosanjin is an oasis of calm in NYC. While they're best known for "Keiseki" meals (a multi-course style of dining made famous in Kyoto, which requires advance reservations), they also urge customers to drop in for al a carte meals. The menu is still authentic and beautifully presented, but they even welcome children with a special meal. Selections include: savory Japanese puddings, traditional sashimi and Wagyu beef.
