Cinnabon Returns to Manhattan, Nobu Prepares for Its Big Move, and More Intel

— Cinnabon is plotting its triumphant return to Manhattan. The purveyor of engorged, frosting-slathered pastry swirls had an outpost in the basement of Penn Station for many years, but it closed 18 months ago. In November, the shop will replace a location of sister brand Auntie Anne’s Pretzels at 664 Eighth Avenue.

— Steve Cuozzo is already a big fan of Tsurutontan, the udon restaurant in the old Union Square Cafe space: "I enjoyed their noodles with five different broths, and I look forward to going back for the 29 others — most hot, a few cold — all shown on a menu colorful and bright enough to read through sunglasses."

— Drew Nieporent and Nobu Matsuhisa are gearing up to move their downtown trailblazer Nobu to the Financial District.  This new Nobu will have a large lounge area, a subterranean main dining room, a private sake tasting room, and a giant brushstroke sculpture hanging from the ceiling. The team sends word that the original Tribeca location at 105 Hudson will remain open until the move to 195 Broadway is complete, sometime in early 2017. This mean that New York will never have to experience a day without Nobu, which is a relief. In other Nobu news, the Midtown branch is rolling out a $55 three-course prix fixe lunch on Sundays, with options like yellowtail with jalapeño, handrolls, tuna sashimi, and a salmon omelet. Check out the full Nobu 57 prix fixe menu here.
