Justin Timberlake is set to expand his restaurant empire with a second New
York eatery.
The 'SexyBack' singer will go back to his roots with his latest venture
called Southern Hospitality, which will open on Second Avenue at 79th Street
next month.
His new project, with business partner Eytan Sugarman, will feature a
Southern-style barbecue, a stage for live performances and a jukebox.
Timberlake and Sugarman already own Destino, an Italian restaurant on First
Avenue, which opened in February 2006.
Sugarman - who co-owned the now closed New York nightclub Suede with hip-hop
producer Timbaland - said: "It's going to be a real-deal restaurant called
Destino, a tablecloth place."
In 2003, Timberlake opened the now defunct upmarket dim-sum bar called Chi
in Hollywood with entrepreneurs Art and Allan Davis.
