Cafe Zaffri, the third dining concept from the acclaimed team behind New York City mainstays Raf’s and The Musket Room is located inside The Twenty Two New York, a hotel and private members club located in Union Square. The sprawling restaurant located on the ground floor of the hotel will be open to the public and serve modern interpretations on Levantine cuisine and its
diaspora.
Formerly the Margaret Louisa Home, commissioned by heiress and philanthropist Margaret Louisa Vanderbilt in 1891, the home represented a new kind of housing for a new generation of women: single, ambitious, independent-minded strivers seeking refuge in an unfamiliar place. The history of the building serves as an inspiring backdrop for this women-led team, composed of sisters Jennifer and Nicole Vitagliano, alongside Executive Chef
Mary Attea, and Executive Pastry Chef Camari Mick.
This one of a kind team has curated a menu influenced by Chef Mary’s Lebanese heritage that will consist of a modern interpretation of Levantine cuisine. Drawing inspiration from the culinary ethos of the region and its diaspora with an emphasis on local, fresh ingredients and vibrant flavors. In true Middle Eastern style, the experience will be a celebration of food and company, sharing joyful moments around the table, in a warm and
inviting atmosphere. Cafe Zaffri will crossover and thread the needle between countries, there will be dishes that
reference both the Mediterranean and Levant regions, a style of cuisine that lends itself well to crossing borders and celebrating the seasonality of the neighboring Union Square Market.
In tandem with Cafe Zaffri, the team will manage and curate the food and beverage for the hotel's private member's only restaurant, which will be more broadly contemporary American cuisine, taking inspirations from the member's club at The Twenty Two in London.
