Big Wong, a Decades-Old Chinatown Restaurant, Opens Yet Another Location

Chinatown’s Big Wong restaurant may be headed to a neighborhood near you: The popular Cantonese restaurant, open on Mott Street since 1978, and more recently in Williamsburg, has opened yet another location, this time at 683 Ninth Avenue, at West 47th Street, in Hell’s Kitchen. Images of the new storefront with an illuminated “open” sign surfaced on Google earlier this month. (Eater has a call out to confirm its opening date.) Much of the interior has been left over from the space’s previous tenant, an outpost of the Chinese restaurant chain Tipsy Shanghai, which opened here last fall. Big Wong opened an offshoot restaurant in Williamsburg in February — its first expansion in more than four decades.

The whole menu is available. In addition, dim sum will be served after 10 p.m. which includes a late-night only pupu platter, with a sample of each style of dim sum, for $30 from chef Preston Clark.

What’s going on at Delmonico’s steakhouse?

One of Manhattan’s oldest restaurants appears to be getting a brand refresh. Delmonico’s, the Financial District steakhouse open since 1837 but currently closed due to a legal dispute over the rightful use of its name, has traded out its red awnings, which used to be marked with a capital letter “D” surrounded by a laurel. The logo has been swapped out for two yellow concentric squares, which closely resemble the branding used by the payment processing software Square.
