I used to live around the corner from here and would be there for breakfast, lunch and dinner almost everyday.
The staff is super friendly and I believe it's the best pizza in town.
I also did the mural outside and I love seeing all pictures people post and how people engage with the work and how it becomes a part of their experience there.
I don't go to the movies much but when I do I love coming here... they have the best of the independent and international films and it's the last of it's kind in New York.
I basically lived at this place when I lived in Tokyo. This was also the first place I ever performed. Good food, nice shows and a great mixture of locals and international people.
I am pursuing hospitality concepts that are deeply involved in the local scenes and that serve as focal points for entire neighborhoods; concepts that become not just places to stay, but gateways to communities. I am committed to reshape the way people think about hospitality by exploring experiences that stand for a cause and immerse people in meaningful moments.
