With nearly 220 seats, Kefi has effectively changed from being “the little place that could,” as i affectionately called the previous space, to a destination hot spot. and for me, the best part about it is that we didn’t skip a beat; not only do our regular patrons still love Kefi, but now it attracts–and we can accommodate–new diners from all over the city and beyond. Michael really set the design mood and tone for this space, working closely with our longtime designer Matthew Sudock. the look and feel ultimately translate Michael’s unabashed love for his greek heritage. the bar area is festive, filled with greek wine bottles, and the counter itself is crafted from wooden beams; the downstairs is really homey and intimate, showing off sliding barn doors and decorated with hanging baskets and ornamental tin plates; and the main dining room on the second floor is warm and inviting, very open and bright with Mediterranean colors and textures. in this issue, you’ll also learn about all of the exiting projects we have going on: from transforming our banquet room at anthos into anthos upstairs, with a small-plate menu focusing on quality ingredients, and prices that match the times; to our exciting new partnership with the Kor hotel group, where we just opened eos at the viceroy Miami; and coming this summer is a very personal project for Michael as we open gus & gabriel, which will feature dishes that appeal to the kid in every adult.

  • How to Do Long Island in Off-Season
    TRIP IDEAS How to Do Long Island in Off-Season With summer 2016 now long gone (RIP), it may seem like Long Island's prime vacay stretch has also kicked the seasonal bucket. But hear me out – because far from closing up shop, it's in autumn that LI's weekender crowds disperse, hotels see major price dips, and brisk walks along super-soft beaches are at their utmost romantic. Here, JS correspondent Chelsea Stuart does us a solid, going in search of the best places to eat, drink and play this off-season. By Chelsea Stuart Oct 13, 2016, 4:42 pm Prior to a recent four-day trip through Long Island, my knowledge of LI was embarrassingly (read: staggeringly) limited. In my case, this meant I had a grasp on only basic geography, the pure existence of Stony Brook University, and what I could piece together from Kourtney & Khloé Take The Hamptons (aka a high-concentration of oceanside mega-mansions, celebs with too much time and money, and swan pool floaties – lots of 'em). But driving out of midtown Manhattan, through Queens and into Nassau county, I quickly realized what a tiny, incomplete picture of Long Island that truly was. Over a couple of days, I worked my way from Garden City (roughly an hour outside of NYC) to Montauk and back again.
