Collar stays. They might be a staple in a gentleman’s wardrobe but they’re not usually found in the amenity offerings in the bathroom of a hotel. They are here, though, in The Fifth Avenue Hotel which opened in October in NoMad in New York. And it makes sense: the original 19th century mansion, remodeled as a Renaissance palazzo in 1907, was formerly the site of Gilded Age society events and it’s easy to imagine a guest of the first owner, renowned hostess Charlotte Goodridge, having his valet install them before heading off to the opera. Starting this month, the hotel can once again resemble a private home, an extremely lavish one, by introducing Your Mansion at The Fifth Avenue Hotel, a three-night takeover of this historic part.
India’s Cuisine Comes To Life At These Buzzy New York Restaurants
04.04.2024 - 21:39 / forbes.com
As New Delhi and Mumbai natives, my husband, Mahir, and I like to think that we know something about Indian food. We know what good Indian food is, at least, and in New York where we live, it’s few and far between.
Our options to travel back to India through its cuisine are limited in this global city— we often visit London to get our fix or enjoy it on our visits back home. That changed in the last year when we were introduced to Jimmy Rizvi and his multiple restaurant concepts in town, each fresh, zippy and delicious in its own way.
Born in Indore, India, Jimmy transitioned to restaurants from a previous career in finance and concert promotion.
He got his start in the industry with Korali in 2015 on the Upper East Side and also created another Greek/Mediterranean concept in 2017 called NISI Estiatorio in the West Village.
Sensing a real need for a modern Indian brand with genuine hospitality and exceptional creative cuisine, Jimmy fulfilled his longtime dream of opening his own Bombay-inspired concept with the November 2018 launch of GupShup. It’s an always-packed venue with creative cocktails, the best tequilas and scotches and flavor-packed Indian dishes with a contemporary spin-just try the share-able chicken biryani, and you’ll see what I mean.
Chote Miya, a fast casual concept offering Indian street food in Chelsea Market followed. It takes me to Mumbai’s Chowpatty Beach where vendors hawk the same small plates. Ammi, a homage to India’s comfort food, came next at Pier 57 on the West Side.
Now here may be his greatest hit: Jimmy recently opened Bungalow in the East Village with acclaimed Michelin star chef and humanitarian Chef Vikas Khanna. It’s the hottest restaurant in New York at the moment and has a 1,500 person waiting list.
I interviewed Jimmy recently about his restaurant concepts, all grouped under Bombay House Hospitality, and the secret to his success
Can you tell us about your different restaurant concepts?
Bungalow is about the social clubs of India from a bygone era. The menu is pretty unique and covers dishes from Kashmir to Kerala, and each menu item is Chef Vikas’s interpretation of his travels and experiences through India but for a New York audience.
Bungalow’s design is very unique and was created by my sister Shaila Rizvi Every item- chairs, chandeliers, plates are custom made.
GupShup is all about a modern Indian food and craft cocktails and has a massive following among both South Asian’s and New Yorker’s.
Chote Miya, a take on the iconic Bade Miya, in Mumbai serving Indian food in a casual setting. Chote Miya opened in July 2022 in Chelsea Market, and it’s the first Indian spot in Chelsea Market in its 25 years since opening. The focus on the menu is kabab’s, street
