August 10, 2026 Community NewsThis was a real treat, and if you have a spare evening, I would get on the bookings list at Lei, a newcomer to Doyers Street that seems to fit right in. The owner, Annie Shi, is a partner in King, on King Street in Soho; Jupiter, at 30 Rock; and Dean’s, on Sixth and King; all three are adored. The Times said that Lei is the Chinese name of her older sister, who died in 2004, when Shi was 14. Shi made pilgrimages to Manhattan’s Chinatown to shop for groceries and had her first facial on Doyers Street, at the spa above Nom Wah.” Lei NYC15-17 Doyers Street | Pell & BoweryReserve on ResySeven days, 5p to 11p
