Replacing Ono in the Gansevoort Hotel is Tanuki Tavern, a new Meatpacking District duplex via Jeffrey Chodorow offering Japanese gastropub grub (plus sushi) in a mod, hot-pink space that looks like Barbie’s Dream House as envisioned by Hello Kitty; while the setting is somewhat smaller than its predecessor, so is the pricing, though those small plates can add up fast.
