Dainobu, the new Japanese bento place/grocery store on 47th btw. Lex+3rd, quietly opened a few weeks ago and it looks like they are going to be some serious competition for Cafe Zest (on the same block).
Taking a page from the Yagura playbook, Dainobu is half grocery store (with all kinds of wet and dry Japanese [...]

Cafe Zest (on 47th btw. Lex+3rd), the semi-upscale Japanese bento place from the owners of Cafe Zaiya (on 41st btw. Mad+5th) is about to get some competition. A few doors down, the space that used to be a Burger King now has signs for “Dainobu” a Japanese Grocery/Bento/Sushi/Deli coming soon from Japan. Their website is [...]

Yesterday Lunch’er Max sent me this photo from the line at Cafe Zest (on 47th btw. Lex+3rd), the new Japanese place opened by the owners Cafe Zaiya (on 41st btw. Mad+5th.)

A friendly reminder about the grand opening special going on today and tomorrow at Cafe Zest on 47th St. btw. Lex+3rd. Everything is half off from Noon to 3pm, so if you’re a fan of Cafe Zaiya, you may want to be there for this one.

The rennovation of the 47th St. Japanese Convenience Store between Lexington & 3rd continues on, and I got this look inside. It’s hard to make out exactly what is going to happen to this place, but as long as they keep all the bentos and fun stuff they used to serve (at fairly low prices) it should be good. [...]

When you say “Convenience Store”, good lunch’ing is not really the first thing that pops into my mind. Sure, I like a Drake’s Apple Pie just as much as the next guy, but old hot dogs and a slushy don’t really make an appealing lunch in my book. Take “Convenience Store” and add the word [...]
