Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo Claim Former Restaurant 3?

Earlier this year Eater heard rumors that Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo, the chefs and co-owners of perennially packed restaurant, Animal, were considering a second eatery, specifically a deli of sorts. Then, last March LAW interviewed the duo where they revealed that they were looking at spaces "...but even if we were building something just next door, I wouldn't tell you," said Jon. Now, the plot thickens as Mondette reports that the Animal boys have claimed that shuttered Restaurant 3 space on Third Street. More to come.
