 The James New York, a newly built hotel anchoring the southwest corner of SoHo at Grand and Thompson Streets, will open September 1, 2010, featuring 114 guestrooms and suites bathed in natural light and unobstructed views of Manhattan.
Located in the hotel, Celebrity Chef David Burkes' restaurant focuses on wholesome and hearty modern American food, locally sourced and presented in the creative and whimsical style that is Burke's trademark.
Guests will enjoy several ways to experience the restaurant, including the Treehouse Bar for artisanal cocktails & homemade sweet and savory pop tarts from the Treehouse's toast bar; the loft-like main dining room featuring exposed beams and views through glass walls into the kitchen and wine cave; and outdoor space within the Urban Garden, opening this summer. The dining room boasts a bold, theatrical experience: a carving station where dishes are plated in the center of the action.
David Burke Kitchen's interior is inspired by the surrounding Soho neighborhood, blending the cool, industrial simplicity of an airy loft with the rustic warmth of a country barn.
