Famed London Restaurateur Jeremy King Pops Up This Month at One of NYC’s Most Exclusive Venues | Eater NY

"Tucked into Greenwich Village as an invite-only bar and restaurant with under 100 seats, this spot at 113 West 13th Street feels like a small, closely watched members-club-style venue that’s actually experimenting with exclusivity without charging formal membership fees or tightly managing public reservations. Co-founded by Margot Hauer-King and filmmaker Emmet McDermott, it’s guided by a philosophy that bars and restaurants should be catalysts for creativity and conviviality, with success measured by whether both staff and guests feel fulfilled. The everyday menu focuses on late-night classics with a slightly elevated touch, and it has already developed a cult favorite in the People’s Burger. For its one-year anniversary, the restaurant is hosting Jeremy King’s limited “King Menu” pop-up, bringing to New York for the first time his famed dishes like Bang Bang Chicken, Scandinavian Frozen Berries, and the Coastal Martini — the sort of dishes that once drew Andy Warhol, Michael Jackson, Princess Diana, and Madonna. Normally invitation-only, the pop-up is open to a wider crowd via the restaurant’s website, underscoring its role in New York’s evolving landscape of exclusive, access-focused dining spaces." - Melissa McCart
