The Norry at Kampuchea (Manhattan's only Cambodian restaurant) officially opens its doors to the public on Friday, 12/4.  Although they share the same grand space, the two concepts could not be more different.  Unlike its mature older sister, The Norry (at Kampuchea) has a younger vibe with a food/drink menu to match.  Think Southeast Asian-inspired cocktails and gastropub fare.  If you were to compare the two to your family's Thanksgiving dinner, Kampuchea would represent the "grown up's table" and The Norry would represent "the kid's table."  Make sense?
