It was over a decade ago when white tablecloths went out of fashion in New York, save for the fine dining holdouts dotting upper Manhattan. But what’s old appears to be new again, only remixed for 2022, at Casino, a new restaurant opening Tuesday, December 13.  

Located at 171 East Broadway, near Rutgers Street, Casino is Aisa Shelley’s first restaurant. But it is by no means his first hospitality project, known for sceney nightlife hits Mr. Fong’s, a bar in Chinatown, as well as Primo’s, a cocktail lounge in Tribeca. Shelley describes Casino’s food as looking to the “Italian and French Riviera,” essentially coastal dishes that feel like a luxurious vacation.
