Restaurant Teruko Opening
Restaurant Teruko will open at the Hotel Chelsea in New York City, USA.
Teruko Yokoi lived at the Hotel Chelsea in the late 1950s with her then husband, the painter Sam Francis.
The new restaurant will not only bear the painter's name, but will also feature eight of Yokoi's works recently purchased by the hotel.
Fascinated by Yokoi's life and work, the co-owners of Hotel Chelsea purchased her paintings for the restaurant and named it after her.
Located in the basement of the hotel, the restaurant will feature a 12-seat sushi counter as well as a dining room and cocktail area serving Japanese cuisine.
