‘New York Sushi Ko’ Closes Tomorrow After More than 4 Years on Clinton Street
New York Sushi Ko is calling it quits after more than four years on Clinton Street. The cubbyhole omakase joint just north of Delancey Street will close tomorrow after business hours conclude.
The news was first conveyed on Instagram last week, though a reason for the closure was not.
Original owner Steven Penchenski opened Sushi Ko with chef John Daley at 91 Clinton Street in June 2013. They created a more lax omakase experience with eccentric house rules like encouraging patrons to show off their tattoos. Yet, strangely, no photography was allowed. Daley took over operations two years later.
