Exhibit A is Gui, the swanky two-storey steakhouse opening on Eighth Avenue last month that has repurposed a former office supply store. The gilded space will feature fancy cuts of Wagyu beef, roving trolleys of caviar and pristine seafood, and a deluxe cocktail programme. 'We saw an opportunity to bring something different to this high-energy neighbourhood: a refined-yet-approachable American steakhouse experience,' says chef Sungchul Shim, who also operates the Michelin-star Mari and Kochi restaurants.
