First sign of Yoshino New York on the Bowery

It has taken a while, but we have our first sign of Yoshino New York, the forthcoming sushi omakase restaurant here at 342 Bowery between Great Jones and Bond...

Master sushi chef Tadashi Yoshida first announced this project for No. 342 in the fall of 2018... with work starting on the space in August 2019, per BoweryBoogie. The opening was delayed, then came the pandemic. 

In the past year, Yoshida spent time in Japan, operating Yoshino New York from part of the Sushi Sagawa space in Tokyo.

The restaurant now has a September debut slated for the Bowery, per its Instagram account.

No. 342 was last home, in 2017, to the pop-up House of Fluff ... before that, we had a Subway (sandwich shop). The Subway opened here in late 2009, taking over after Downtown Music Gallery moved to Monroe Street. Plans for a restaurant here called Poke Run never materialized.
