"A behemoth, multi-level modern Mexican restaurant from an international group known for destinations in Tulum and Dubai, opening a permanent location at the Seaport’s Pier 17 to replace a previous group spot and deliver a large-scale, nightlife-forward dining experience." - Nadia Chaudhury
"A recently opened, partying Mexican concept on Pier 17 that began as a pop-up and later became a permanent restaurant; the same landlord group for the new installation manages this tenant at the Seaport." - Nadia Chaudhury
"A multi-level, modern Mexican restaurant with a jungle motif, opened by the Grupo Gitano in the South Street Seaport, replacing the former Momofuku Ssäm Bar." - Melissa McCart
"I don’t actually remember much about my first experience at Gitano—the original location in Tulum, about four years ago—but knowing me, that means it was a damn good night. So when I found out that the bar and restaurant would be coming to New York, I was eager to see how it would translate. Founder and co-owner James Gardner did not disappoint: The downtown space took over a 24,000-square-foot lot and transformed it into a tropical oasis in the middle of Manhattan. I’m headed back for more mezcal and watermelon and tomato salad doused with sweet-and-spicy chile sauce (pictured)." - ByAndy Baraghani
"I'm noting that Gitano was the other Tulum restaurant to come to NYC earlier this year and is described as a sceney but troubled hot spot." - Stefanie Tuder
