The Hugh, Midtown's new food hall located inside what used to be called the Citigroup Center, features an impressive lineup of 17 restaurants and bars including such proven winners as Miznon, Teranga, and Mah Ze Dahr.
And despite all of the pandemic-related challenges, from the long-delayed opening to the still-depleted population of office workers in Midtown, enthusiasm was high among the vendors we spoke with last week. Noah Levine, one of co-founders of Teranga, told Gothamist that he remained excited about being here: "The opportunity has been great for us, being in the heart of Manhattan, and bringing our African fast-casual concept to a much wider audience.
P.D.A. Slice Shop's Guimond has no regrets either. "It's awesome," he said about being in Midtown. "Opening a restaurant in Manhattan is kind of the dream when you're in New York City in the restaurant business. Brooklyn is fun [Guimond previously worked at Speedy Romeo and Roberta's] but it's its own little town. When people think of NYC, they think of Manhattan.
The Hugh, by the way, is named after the building's architect, Hugh Stubbins. Completed in 1977, and now simply called 601 Lexington Avenue, it is the city's youngest landmark.The Hugh is located at 157 East 53rd Street, with an entrance at the corner of 53rd and Lexington Avenue as well, and is currently open on Monday through Friday from 7 a.m to 11 p.m. Individual vendors may open later or close earlier.
