Kenny Shopsin, the proprietor of NYC institution Shopsin's, is coming out with a cookbook. Eat Me: The Food and Philosophy of Kenny Shopsin is out in September.
Shopsin's, who closed their beloved eatery in the West Village last month, has updated their web site with plans to open in a stall at the Essex Street Market on the Lower East Side. (thx, janelle)
Quirky West Village eatery Shopsin's finally closes for good. Once more, with feeling: the Shopsin's menu and Calvin Trillin's classic piece about the restaurant in the NYer.
Update: James Felder wrote a nice remembrance of eating at Shopsin's on its final day for Serious Eats. (thx, adam)
I Like Killing Flies is a 2004 documentary about Shopsin's, a unique NYC eatery. Playing at NYC's Cinema Village this coming weekend. See also Shopsin's menu design and Calvin Trillin's classic NYer piece.
