Pop star-turned-restaurateur Justin Timberlake is expanding his eatery empire with a second New York City hotspot.
The Tennessee-born singer opened BBQ restaurant/bar Southern Hospitality on Manhattan’s Upper East Side in 2007.
It quickly became a hit among locals and Timberlake’s fans flocked to check out his take on southern favorites like chicken wings, pulled pork, and macaroni and cheese - all taken from the Timberlake family recipe book. It’s been so successful, the star and his business partners Trace Ayala and Eytan Sugarman are in talks to take up a second location in Chelsea.
According to New York Magazine, the trio has singled out a space on 6th Avenue for a rent of around $35,000 per month.
