  The Wang Contemporary

  58 Bowery, New York, NY 10013, USA

  Wang Contemporary occupies a landmarked 1924 Beaux-Arts building on the Bowery, restored as the future home of a private foundation dedicated to Asian contemporary art. The space brings together the architectural gravitas of old New York — original period detailing, cast stone facade, soaring proportions — with a minimal, atmosphere-first interior sensibility, resulting in a setting that feels both historically rooted and distinctly contemporary. As a foundation space rather than a conventional venue, Wang Contemporary offers a rare institutional context: exhibitions, artist dinners, cultural programming, and select private events set within an active center for Asian contemporary art in the heart of Chinatown. It’s suited to gatherings that call for cultural substance and a sense of occasion — collector previews, foundation events, curated dinners, and partnerships aligned with its artistic mission.

  Mel's

  US-NYC-8510, 85 10th Ave, New York, NY 10011, USA

  • Spaces for 50 Guests
  • 1 Restaurant

  The compact restaurant room that was previously John Dory is now a pizzeria: Mel's, the first restaurant of a new culinary complex here, squeezed snuggly to one side of the former Del Posto. Melissa J. Rodriguez, a former Del Posto and Daniel chef, is teaming up with Jeff Katz and James Kent of Crown Shy and Saga to create this enormous location. While its finely calibrated lighting will keep it "glowy and sensual," it will also be the kind of restaurant you can pop into just because you're hungry and it's Tuesday. Mel's is warmly decorated with orange tones and polished light wood, with a bar and dining counter that open into a back dining area and a massive wood-fired pizza oven in the center. Ms. Rodriguez explained, "Everything is cooked with wood. There’s no gas here." The pizzas begin with a Margherita base but quickly branch out to include mushrooms, smoked mozzarella, and sliced shallots, as well as kale, basil pesto, ricotta, and preserved lemon. Wood-fired dishes include roasted parsnips with robiola cheese, roasted maitake mushrooms with soppressata piccante, and charred shrimp, as well as major courses such as entire fish, whole roasted cauliflower, and strip steak. Dessert is not an afterthought or something to forego at this pizzeria. Consider a milk chocolate gelato with a dark chocolate sable swirl, salted caramel and fior di latte gelato with caramel sauce and shortbread crumble, or a Little Italy-inspired Italian rainbow cookie hot fudge sundae. To coordinate your private event, fill out the contact form on the Mel’s website.
