(This venue is closed.) Visitor from the East: Grain House, just opened in Manhattan (and shown below), shares its name and pedigree with a celebrated Sichuan restaurant in far eastern Queens. Pending a final menu for this new outpost, have a look at hot and spicy clams, Chinese chestnuts with spare ribs, Yibin burning noodles, and bacon with garlic sprouts at the flagship location (since closed), in Little Neck. For more, see the EIT page on Facebook.
