  Bouley Botanical

  281 Church St, New York, NY 10013, USA

  • Spaces for 100-125 Guests
  • 1 Restaurant

  Since New York State's mandatory closings began on March 15th, we've been taking advantage of the opportunity to engage in some serious introspection about our collective safety and our future. Perspective can be gained through the distance created by the pandemic and our separation from the familiar—work, friends, family, and social lives. We have decided to re-locate and transform Bouley at Home and Bouley Test Kitchen into a new concept due to the inherent difficulties of in-person dining in the face of the ongoing dangers of Covid-19. As we prepare to relocate from 31 West 21st Street to a new venue in Lower Manhattan's TriBeCa neighborhood (location to be determined), we are taking advantage of this rare opportunity to envision and plan what the new Bouley will look like. Bouley has been many things to many people over the course of my 35+ years in the business world. In order to achieve unbreakable health, our mission continues to be to create the most nutrient-dense menus possible while immersing guests in a community of shared culinary knowledge. Our international and discerning clientele has always pushed us to try new things and be more creative in our approach. Our reputation as a forum for high food standards has always compelled us to take on social responsibility, which has deepened our commitment to a variety of ways to inform people about how they can celebrate their culinary passions while also maintaining good health and wellness. We want to make available to you the high-quality ingredients sourced from our ardent organic farmers, to share the relationship we have with our fishermen and their values, and to share the people who raise our animals on organic diets in beautiful natural surroundings. As of right now, we continue to provide off-premises catering for private events and special occasions in homes as well as through our extensive network of partner locations. Online purchases are available for our extensive wine list as well as mementos from Bouley's many incarnations throughout the years.
