LORE Opens Its Doors, Leading Park Slope Restaurant Revival

BROOKLYN, N.Y., February 10, 2022 (Newswire.com) - Park Slope gets a new chef-driven restaurant as LORE opens its doors to the public on Feb. 7, 2022. In the highly coveted corner location of 7th Avenue & 15th Street, chefs and partners Jay Kumar and John Kim venture into culinary storytelling with a seasonal menu that highlights their diverse backgrounds.

In their vision, the future of food is seen through the lens of community, with ingredients sourced from regional farms; flavors and techniques of diverse origin that are skillfully woven. Brooklyn is truly a confluence of cultures, kept vital by storytellers and community leaders, many of whom hail from far-flung places around the globe. So many of these diverse traditions are both preserved and born around a dinner table with friends and neighbors.

LORE is a deep consideration of what is considered "local," and a haven for a multitude of cultural stories to thrive through the enduring power of food and spirits to unite us. Featuring a seasonal menu and full cocktail and wine program, LORE will be accepting reservations through its website and RESY.
