“Fortune sides with him who dares.”

Come by, say hi, and get some yums before September 24th. We are closing down our shop at Essex Market.
•
Yeah. We are feeling all the feels and unknowns as we turn the page and see that we have come to the end of an extraordinary chapter in our lives. To take a moment to reflect back on all the late nights and early mornings; the burns and cuts; lots of coffee (hot or iced — but absolutely black, no sugar); spreadsheet analysis; recipes that didn’t work and the recipes that nailed it; good press; bad reviews; photos at the wrong angle with the right light and photos at the right angle with the wrong light; food festivals; pop-ups and collaborations; catering gigs; all of the incredible friends we have made and so many laughs; and, not least of all, a global pandemic … this moment fills us with such gratitude and appreciation.
•
While our shop will be closed, our hearts remain full. We will treasure our time within the community of the Lower East Side; its history and vibrant mix of culture is New York City. Full stop.
•
Thank you for the success we have shared together.
•
Endlessly grateful,
Matt & Jason
