The much loved Shopsin's was one of a kind not just for the food but also its gruff but lovable chef Kenny Shopsin.

Shopsin's is not closed! They are now at Essex Market (Essex and Delancey, in the Lower East Side). Next building over from me. I think some of Kenny's offspring took it over (but not sure of that). Not quite as fun as the old place, but still a pretty quirky menu.

Not closed but not nearly like the Shopsin's of old :( Kenny & Eve were the key ingredient.

Fair enough.
