Thrillist New YorkThe only place in NY more Over The Top than Lincoln Hawk -- who's not really from any state, because he's from a truck -- Jaguars 3's dropping down on the otherwise industrial shores of Brooklyn on Wednesday. The place is headed by a team of Vegas vets and a chef who helmed the kitchens at the British and Italian embassies (plus Hotel Cipriani in Venice), and promises to bring a sprawling nightlife threesome together under one gloriously jungly, wildlife-filled roof. Here's the breakdown:
