High Street Outpost

We are proud to announce that we will be designing the first High Street outpost in Manhattan in collaboration with Ellen Yin and chef Eli Kulp – Stay tuned for more details!

Ellen Yin and chef Eli Kulp have signed a deal at the corner of Hudson and Horatio Streets in the West Village.

This location is a third larger than the original at 308 Market St.
