Sri Lankan Fare Takes Center Stage Uptown
While Sri Lankan food has made a mark in Staten Island, it’s moving beyond the borough to Manhattan’s Upper East Side with Lungi. Co-owner Albin Vincent is flipping Imli, his neighborhood spot for modern Indian food, into Lungi, with a focus on Sri Lankan and coastal South Indian fare. The restaurant is located at 1136 First Avenue, between 62nd and 63rd streets, opening Wednesday, September 18.
