Located between two of Manhattan’s most stylish neighborhoods, SoHo and The West Village, Favela Cubana is dedicated to serving the highest quality food with a focus on traditional Brazilian and Cuban cuisine. Favela Cubana is a place where food, music and culture converge. Brazil’s Frango Ipanema and Cuba’s Arroz con Pollo are amongst the delicacies featured on the menu, and fresh tropical cocktails such as their tantalizing “Orange Basil Mojito” highlight the fully stocked bar. Seamlessly fusing the food and culture of these two distinct countries, Favela Cubana continues the experience with a friendly staff and a lively, informal atmosphere. Large murals and festive colors adorn the 1,500 square foot space, and conga drums cleverly double as bar stools for up to fifteen lucky (and thirsty) guests. Able to host up to one hundred patrons for events, Favela Cubana strives to serve as a festive oasis, event space and cultural landmark where all are free to eat, drink, dance, and bond. We look forward to hosting you at Favela Cubana

From sweeping views of the Hudson River, to the raw, structural elements from the elevated railway’s industrial past, the High Line provides a oneof-a-kind experience in an unrivaled New York City setting. The High Line is an elevated freight rail line turned hybrid public space on Manhattan’s West Side. Founded in 1999 by two community residents, Friends of the High Line fought for the High Line’s preservation and transformation at a time when the historic structure was under threat of demolition. In 2009, the High Line was revived as the innovative park you see today. Friends of the High Line is now the nonprofit conservancy that maintains, operates, and programs the High Line in partnership with the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation.

Welcome to ELM by Atelier Collective, where we create unforgettable connections through transformative event experiences in the buzzing heart of SoHo at 216 Lafayette Street. With lofty ceilings, sun-drenched spacious rooms and historic charm, our space is more than a blank canvas. We are home to functional architecture, cutting-edge technology and event experts that can bring any idea to life. ELM was born to bring people together in New York’s quintessential neighborhood – but our story begins far before our inception. While we opened our doors as a hospitality company in 2023, the roots of our space are embedded into the city’s rich history, spanning over generations. Starting as a factory at the turn of the century to serving as home to New York City’s now lost neighborhood, Gasoline Alley, our white worn brick walls and charismatic wood floors are true marks of history. In fact, we like to think of them as proof that life happened here. As a nod to the magic that came before us, our name pays homage to the original title of iconic the Lafayette Street – Elm Street.

Originally a residential block, the Dumbo neighborhood developed into a major factory area in the late 1800s-early 1900s. Soon, the manufacturer Edward H. Cole established it as one of the most industrial neighborhoods in the city. This brought in William Taylor & Sons Columbian Iron Works on Adams and Water Street, a sign making company, a brass foundry, a two-story machine shop and storage facility for E. W. Bliss and Phillips, Doup & Company. Many of these factories in the area were demolished to make way for the Manhattan Bridge. Luckily, the building at 155 Water Street wasn’t affected by the construction of the bridge and has a long history of manufacturing ironworks and other materials. In 1905, Edward Cole used the factory to make steam fittings then leasing out the property to Phillips, Doup & Company, who built steam heaters. Cole sold the building in 1920 to L&H Stern, manufacturers of smoking pipes and accessories. The company used the lower floors as offices and the upstairs as the production space. The simple brick facade, articulated by segmental openings and projecting lintels and sills, marks 155 Water Street as an example of the American round arch style. Additionally, the slow-burning mill construction and history make it an amazing representative of American factory architecture – contributing greatly to the character of the Dumbo Historic District.

Hancock St. is an NYC restaurant owned by John McDonald and Chef Ryan Schmidtberger that focuses on fresh ingredients and reimagined takes on basic meals. It has a 75-seat dining room, a 50-seat Garden Veranda, and a private dining room that can accommodate up to 30 people. Co-owner Serge Becker is no stranger to the hospitality industry, having owned famous establishments such as Area MK, Bowery Bar, La Esquina, Miss Lilly's, and Bodega Negra. Ryan Schmidtberger, the head chef of Hancock Street, is a former Lure Fishbar alum. Despite the fact that it was peak COVID, Becker and McDonald had previously collaborated on Lure Fishbar and believed it was time to start a new project together. Hancock is a white tablecloth restaurant that only serves dinner. "The space is dark, sexy, vintage looking," McDonald says, “It feels like it has been here for 20 years already, which was the goal." McDonald envisioned an elegant eatery that was neither fussy nor pretentious. He and Becker wanted to create something that appeared to have been around for a long time, with history and flaws. The menu features typical New York American fare that you'll want to eat every day. After a few months of the lockdown, McDonald was bored, and it prompted him to reconsider what he intended to do with a few of his properties. Pre-pandemic, the restaurateur had intended to conduct a two-week modest renovation of El Toro Blanco, but instead decided to do a complete overhaul from top to bottom. Serge Becker was also in town, so the pair got to work on Hancock St, and the rest is history.
