Supper Club & Café to “Pop Up” at 101 West 57th Street
New York, NY – Robert K. Futterman & Associates (RKF), the nation’s leading independent real estate firm specializing in retail leasing, investment sales and consulting services, is pleased to announce that Bon Appétit has leased 11,600 square feet at 101 West 57th Street for its Supper Club & Café. The space is situated at 57th Street and Sixth Avenue and consists of 5,500 square feet on the Ground Floor, 3,000 square feet in the Lower Level and 3,100 square feet on the Second Floor.
Bon Appétit will occupy the space for six weeks. The first five weeks are being spent building out the space; the Supper Club and Café will operate for the final week. The Café will be open to the public for lunch September 21-25, 2009 from 11 am – 3 pm (no reservations required), featuring a menu created by top chefs, cooking demonstrations, books signings, Q&As with chefs and sommeliers, and special offers and giveaways. During the evenings that week and the weekends before and after, Bon Appétit will host exclusive private dinners and parties with renowned chefs from around the world, custom-crafted menus and wine and spirit pairings.
RKF Director Peter Whitenack represented Bon Appétit in the transaction, while Chairman & CEO Robert K. Futterman, Senior Vice President Gary Alterman and Senior Director Richard Gelber represented the landlord Hotel 57 Owner, LLC.
“101 West 57th Street appealed to Bon Appétit for what it presents inside and outside,” said Mr. Whitenack. “The space features a fully built restaurant kitchen in the Lower Level, and the location is highly visible and well traveled by New Yorkers and tourists, alike.”
While RKF is marketing the space for long-term occupancy, 101 West 57th Street has held appeal to many retailers and corporations looking for a highly visible location to promote their products and communicate their messages. In the past, the site has served as an excellent short-term advertising location for companies such as Delta, HSBC, Pepsi and Fox-TV.
RKF is marketing a total of 16,000 square feet at 101 West 57th Street. In addition to the Lower Level kitchen with venting for a restaurant, the space features floor-to-ceiling windows on both the Ground and Second Floors, which offer any tenant prominent corner wraparound exposure. The location is in close proximity to Carnegie Hall, Central Park, Times Square and prestigious Plaza District shopping, as well as being well serviced by all forms of public transportation.
