The highly projected opening of the famous French retail seller Printemps in the financial circle will not only offer the latest Haute Couture-but even Haute cuisine from a high-born Queens cook.
Gregory Gourdet returns to New York after spending the past 17 years on the west coast, winning three awards James Beard for French -inspired tariffs that attract his Haitian roots.
“Gray is good to come back,” Gourdet Side Dish told in an exclusive interview.
“I love fashion and with my Haitian heritage, and starting my career in excellent French dining, it all made sense.”
Gourdet will oversee the five hot spots of food and drink across two floors on the prinamps, which means spring in French and officially opens its doors on Thursday – the first day of spring – at the historic one Wall Street.
The department features a comprehensive cafe, a champagne bar and a raw bar-Maison Pasrelle, an 85-seats restaurant with 85 places that comes with its special entrance to Broadway.
Protected as the biggest opening of retail and restaurant in New York since the creation of Hudson Yards, Mecca of purchases will also revitalize a strong neighborhood from the work phenomenon from the home that followed Pandemic Covid.
During a gentle opening on Tuesday, Keillie O’Malley, 37, and her friend Kiera Elliott, 28, were among those who went into the elegant champagne bar. The duo were celebrating Elliott’s next marriage.
“We’re doing some shopping in the window, some marriage shopping and some drinking,” said O’Malley, who lives in the seedling. “Everyone give this area a hard time. It was a lot of traveler but is starting to get a personality. I hope it will help [the area] Become better. ”
Elliott, who lives close to Battery City, added: “feels more elevated – something new and exciting in the neighborhood, bringing a romance to the area.”
Destination “SIP and Shop” even has roaming champagne carriages and a place to keep costly flutes in each dressing room.
“What we are doing here is really special. It is a fashion and food experience and drink/hospitality, and all those parts interact with each other very well,” said Gourdet, who began working for the globally known Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
“People are walking around drinking champagne during purchases, which is perfect, and they are also eating sea goca and shrimp cocktails on the other side of the space. I think it’s fine.”
Together with Maison Passerelle, which opens in April, the Printemps contains the 25-seat restaurant all day, Café Jalu-called after the founders of the retailer Jules and Augustine Jaluzot.
It offers fresh juices, Viennoiseerie and pastries, including many gluten and dairy options.
‘We want this to be everyone’s favorite café in the neighborhood. Coffee is fantastic. We have pastries, croissants, and we are also getting the lunch and afternoon crowd, ”Gourdet said.
There is also a vertebra salon, a raw grass with 32 seats on the second floor-where Gourdet adds green Haitian spices to his migratory migratory.
Champagne, near the bathroom treatment area and the beauty of the store, also has the opportunity to test zero, ridicule and green juices.
After Maison Passelle is a red room grass, a 25-seat cocktail lounge, where guda serves cocktails, ridicule and small bites-a cocktail cocktail cocktail.
The red room grass is adjacent to the red room, which also happens to be the latest city landmark, designated in June.
It contains double-height windows, 33 meters high ceilings and red walls and golden mosaic created by the famous 20th-century muralist surrounding meière.
The interior of the building is from Paris -based architect Laura Gonzalez.
