Tuan Bui
Tuan Bui owns An Choi, a dark and sexy Vietnamese restaurant and bar in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, and creative hub for many young visionaries in the area. I don’t exactly live in the neighborhood, but find myself with my grilled lemongrass shrimp banh mi there all the time; it was the first meal I had coming back to New York after a two-month-long hiatus. Get it with fried egg and a side of their clear soup. I see Tuan there regularly, and second only to my envy of his ability to grow a full beard is my admiration for the ease and coolness by which he puts himself together.
Tuan Bui wears a quilted Barbour jacket liner as a vest, Clark’s Wallabees, and drop-crotch skinny pants by Oak, which though harder to pull off than big drop-crotch pants, he wears them well.

Very classy photo shoot. How do I not know this guy? I am an ex-NY resident who keeps abreast of all things restauranty. Plus, I lived on the Lower East Side, right on E 4th. I used to love strolling down Indian Restaurant Row on 6th St (I think that’s the street). Anyway, the jacket in the final photo evokes something i owned years back from jspade. Demeulemeester? Never heard, but maybe I’ll check her out!
