World-renowned chef Masaharu Morimoto is bringing his innovative new culinary venture, Mori Mori, to the iconic Dumbo waterfront starting tomorrow.
The Dec. 17 opening will mark the global debut of Mori Mori, “Iron Chef” Morimoto’s first fast-casual hand roll concept, exclusively at the Market.
“I am so excited to introduce Mori Mori to Time Out Market in Brooklyn,” Morimoto said. “This new concept allows me to share the essence of Japanese cuisine and culture, featuring fresh, high-quality ingredients and vibrant flavors in a fun and approachable setting. I can’t wait for guests to enjoy the bold flavors we’ll be serving.”
Morimoto, renowned for his mastery of blending traditional Japanese techniques with global flavors, has long been at the forefront of culinary innovation. Known for his breakout role on “Iron Chef” and “Iron Chef America,” Morimoto has earned a James Beard Award nomination and penned several cookbooks during his celebrated career.

At Mori Mori, he plans to reimagines Japanese cuisine through a focus on hand rolls, inspired by Japan’s traditional standing sushi counters. The menu will feature a variety of hand rolls, including Morimoto’s creative twists like the Brooklyn Bridge Cheese Steak and Cheese Dog rolls, combining high-quality Japanese ingredients with flavors that nod to local favorites.
Time Out Market New York has become a destination for food enthusiasts since opening in 2019. Located at 55 Water Street in DUMBO, the market showcases almost two dozen unique food concepts and bars.
Last month, the mother-daughter duo behind Bay Ridge favorite Tanoreen brought their distinct Palestinian flavors and Middle Eastern influences to the Dumbo food hall.
Mori Mori will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
The Brooklyn Children’s Museum is celebrating its 125th anniversary with a weekend of free festivities.
The milestone celebration on Dec. 21 and 22 will include activities from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, featuring dance programs, meet-and-greets with artists from the Museum’s latest exhibit In The Works, and screenings of classic children’s cartoons in BCM’s theater.
BCM’s ArtRink skating rink will be open for $5 per person, but admission to all other events is free – though attendees are encouraged to RSVP online.
Founded in 1899, the Brooklyn Children’s Museum has provided educational programs, multicultural festivals, and interactive exhibits for generations.
Atiba Edwards, BCM’s President and CEO, reflected on the institution’s legacy, calling it “the honor of my career to lead this historic institution in its second century of life.”
“Brooklyn Children’s Museum was the world’s first museum designed specifically for children when it opened in 1899, and today, at 125 years old, remains the oldest children’s museum in existence,” said Edwards. “We are proud pioneers in this field and are thrilled to count hundreds of children’s museums throughout the country and across the world as our partners. Together, we deliver joyful learning experiences to the wonderful children of our communities.”

The Museum’s Board Co-Chairs, Amanda Sue Nichols and Michael Frazier, echoed these sentiments in a statement Thursday, emphasizing the institution’s role in fostering community and lifelong learning. “For 125 years, Brooklyn Children’s Museum has brought joy, culture, and education to multiple generations of families from Brooklyn and beyond,” Nichols said.
In a birthday message to BCM, local leaders, including Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso and NYC Department of Cultural Affairs Commissioner Laurie Cumbo, praised the Museum’s enduring impact. Reynoso commended its mission “to ignite curiosity, celebrate identity, and cultivate joyful learning,” while Cumbo highlighted its role in strengthening communities and inspiring young minds.
“I had my own early career experience at the Museum, and my young son has spent many happy hours under its iconic yellow roof. So many New Yorkers have similar stories to tell about this extraordinary place,” said Cumbo.
