"It's this level of hospitality that makes this 'Kitchen' much more like a home."
“Because the world needs human connection,” he said. “If you eliminate that, hospitality is no longer a relevant industry. It doesn’t have the capability of touching lives. It’s just a product you’re pumping out.”
"The venue, which is now open in a space that used to serve as a community-focused diner, showcases its historic ties to the service industry by using insider terms in the naming of its drinks."
"Although it opened just last month after a year of delays due to the pandemic, Tribeca’s Kitchen is already cementing its role as one of Tribeca’s ultimate neighborhood spots."
“I could have shut it down and everyone would’ve understood, but I decided to keep it going,” his son told the site, tearing up to add, “Nobody misses the old restaurant more than me, because it had my father.”
"Working to persevere his father’s legacy, operating safely and welcoming guests to a renewed yet familiar dining experience, Koutsoudakis Jr. doesn’t do it alone. He brings a team who shares his vision on board to aid in rebuilding the great dining culture NYC is infamous for."
