Waygu spot J-Spec taking over Jewel Bako space on 5th Street

J-Spec, which will specialize in Wagyu beef, is opening soon at 239 E. Fifth St. between Second Avenue and Cooper Square. (Thanks to @unitof for the tip and photos!)

The signage went up this week... as did the under-construction curbside seating...
This space was previously Jewel Bako, the celebrated sushi restaurant that maintained a Michelin star for the last 15 years. The Jewel Bako closure was made official in May.

As for J-Spec, you can check out their menu that's already up on Seamless.

    The headline for this piece is a real tongue twister.

    Jewel Bako was fantastic, it was pricey so didn’t go often. didn’t the owners also open a smaller place around the corner on 2nd ave? and do I remember correctly, if they had a small place across the street that was two stories?!?
