New York, NY

Ian Schrager, Phillippe Start (designer), and Jeffrey Chodorow (restaurateur) created The Cafeteria located inside of the new Hudson Hotel.  This 15,000 sq. ft. restaurant features exposed brick walls, floor-to-ceiling cupboards, long rough-hewn wood communial tables, benches, and episcopal chairs to create the feeling you are eating in a refractory.  The center of the room houses a large open kitchen topped by a decorative frieze.  Design of Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Fire Protection Systems for this new resturant was provided.
