66 in NYC:Jean-Georges Vongerichten's new Chinese Restaurant

I love Chinese food and Chinese influenced food: both traditional and non-traditional! It would be great to have a restaurant like New York's 66 here in Vancouver.

The New York Times preview and review of 66 make me want to try it.

Anybody know of a similar restaurant in Vancouver? If so, please let us know!

That is exactly Mr. Vongerichten's intention. "I imagine people will come here the way they go to Vong," he said, referring to his Thai-influenced Midtown restaurant, which has spawned offshoots in Chicago, London and Hong Kong. "It will be because it's my restaurant and not because they want Thai or Chinese food." Vong is Thai in flavor but French in technique. "But 66 will be more authentic," he continued. "We're using Chinese techniques here even though we're breaking some rules."
