New Japanese restaurant paying homage to former tenant?

As I've faithfully reported, the former Cookout Grill on First Avenue at 13th Street is becoming a Japanese restaurant. Extensive renovations continue...



And, so far, good news: It looks as if the new owners are honoring the memories of the former tenant... Too often, heartless new owners have no respect for the storied history of an address... neutering a space without regard of what it meant to the people...




...and, yes, I'm making fun of myself here...
