Tour the Chefs Club Restaurant by ‘Food & Wine’ Magazine at the Landmark Puck Building

January 20, 2015

There’s been plenty of talk about the luxurious penthouses that top off the historic Puck Building. But just below these spectacular homes is an equally stunning space that’s sure to take your breath away—or at least get your stomach rumbling. Archdaily brings us on a tour of the Chefs Club, a brand new dining experience dreamt up by the folks over at Food & Wine magazine. The sleek eatery opened just last fall to rave reviews, and it’s no surprise; the Chefs Club by Food & Wine is exactly what you’d hope it is: the magazine’s “Best New Chefs” and an international roster of rockstar cooks whipping up meals unlike any you’ve had before.

The interiors are the work of the Rockwell Group who wanted to break down the boundaries between the chef and guests. The restaurant features a sprawling 4,000-square-foot dining space that has been divided up into a bar/lounge, a main dining room, an open studio kitchen and a private dining room for special events.

The interior palette is subdued and sophisticated, employing simple and organic materials such as walnut, raw concrete, leather and blackened steel. The materials were chosen to complement the existing interior architecture and the historic nature of the building. Several vitrine cases with blackened steel frames and glass panels are located throughout the space, and various walls feature revolving art that’s been curated to capture “the mind of the chef” currently in residence.

Seen above is a close-up of the “wall of chefs” featuring the international food stars that have graced the restaurant’s kitchen and the magazine’s pages.

We’re so completely enamored with the interiors we could almost forget about the menu. Whether you’re hungry for an intimate dining experience or want to see one of Food & Wine‘s lauded chefs in action, pay the locale at 295 Lafayette Street a visit. And while you wait for your reservation check out more interior photos over at Archdaily, here.

Two Puck Building Penthouses List for a Combined $57M

By Dana Schulz

It was pretty big news back in June when Penthouse IV at the landmarked Puck Building sold for $28 million, netting real estate tycoon Jared Kushner a pretty penny. It was the second largest out of the six units in the penthouse-only building. As we reported then, there were four others that were yet to be listed, and they were expected to sell for between $21 and $60 million. Well, it looks like we weren't too far off the mark, as two additional penthouses at 295 Lafayette Street have now listed for a combined $57 million. PHII, is a three-bedroom, five-bathroom home, with 5,222 square feet of interior space and 800 square feet of outdoor space, listed for $35.1 million; and PHVI, the smallest of the "limited edition" penthouses at 4,895 square feet, is on the market for $22 million (it originally went up for sale in January for $21 million).

The best local chocolate shops in NYC

By Michelle Cohen

It doesn't have to be Valentine's Day to crave chocolate. But the sugar-coated holiday certainly provides a good excuse to indulge. Far beyond the red-wrapped drugstore box, creating the sweet (or bitter) treat is now recognized as a craft all its own. Chocolate purveyors range from the old-fashioned to the eco-conscious to makers who hand-mix exotic ingredients and flavors. If you're really hooked, you can make an event of it at a chocolate-themed restaurant, factory tour, or private tasting. Whether you're looking for a last-minute gift for someone special or just a sweet snack, the New York City establishments listed here have something for every chocolate lover–and you can order online or visit the source right in your borough.
