Pok Pok among 6 restaurants coming to Cosmopolitan Las Vegas

The Cosmopolitan has announced details of its new Block 16 Urban Eatery & Bar, a collection of half a dozen food and beverage spots that will open in early fall.

In addition to the previously announced Portland sandwich shop Lardo, the so-called urban market (which sounds a lot nicer than food court) will include another Portland import: Pok Pok Wing from James Beard Award-winner Andy Ricker.

Also on the bill are District: Donuts. Sliders. Brew from New Orleans, a local incarnation of the New York tequila and mezcal bar Ghost Donkey, the Hattie B’s Hot Chicken from Nashville and the locally conceived Tekka Bar: Handroll & Sake. The collection will be located on the second floor of the resort’s Boulevard Tower.
