The Latest Way JP Morgan Is Attempting to Lure Office Workers? A Danny Meyer-Curated Food Hall
JP Morgan's fancy new $3 billion 60-story skyscraper at 270 Park Avenue between East 47th and 48th streets, is making its latest move to lure employees back: a Danny Meyer-curated food hall.
Two restaurants announce they're flipping to catering
Harana Market, one of the most exciting restaurants to open in the Catskills – known for Filipino dishes like its tofu sisig – surprised fans when it announced that it would be winding down dine-in service this fall. Through Labor Day, they're moving service to Saturdays and Sundays only from 11:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. After that, they will convert the space into a commissary kitchen to cater to pop-ups and other events. 'This evolution is part of our commitment to keeping Harana sustainable for us as a family while remaining rooted in the things we love most: feeding people, building connections, and amplifying and uplifting our Queer, Trans, and AAPI culture,' the post reads. Harana Market first opened in Woodstock in 2020 as a deli and pantry shop before relocating to a larger space in Accord, New York, in a former barn in 2023 as a full-on restaurant. In 2024, it was a James Beard finalist.
Meanwhile, over in Brooklyn, the Greenpoint neighborhood French restaurant Fin Du Monde announced over the weekend that it would be discontinuing its restaurant service as of August 16. Come fall, the restaurant will also pivot to a private events space, as well as a hub for classes and catering. Before opening in 2020, chef Nick Perkins had worked for Diner and Marlow & Sons, with his wife Mona Poor-Olschafskie, an alum of several Brooklyn breweries.
More fro-yo coming to Manhattan
We are in the midst of a big fro-yo boom. Last month, Eater reported Mimi'swould be opening at 231 Lafayette Street, at Spring Street, where Soho meets Nolita. Now we have the scoop on another fro-yo shop: Birdie's is coming to 152 Seventh Avenue South, at Charles Street, in the West Village. Owner Alexa Marks, a former social worker, tells Eater that she wanted to start the business because she missed the way 'the local fro-yo shops were everyone's watering hole' back home in Los Angeles, and wanted to bring that here. 'Frozen yogurt really needed a refresh, something that meets the times while still keeping the simple joy people love about.' Flavors will include chocolate, vanilla, original tart, peanut butter, coffee, and a dairy-free option, with a toppings bar.
