🗽 Fresh Finds 🗽

#1 🫢 Venhue

Venhue describes itself as an “AI-driven chaotic fine dining” experience in the East Village, featuring a seasonal tasting menu with dishes like Braised Lamb, Blackfish, and “Assam Consommé” (whatever that is).

For $120 per person, each course is accompanied by AI-generated video narrations and served in a communal dining setting, designed to drive connection. The experience also includes interactive games and group activities to bring people together.

Silence Please is a tea house, listening room, and high-end Hi-Fi shop all in one. Beyond its stunning aesthetic, it’s a sanctuary to escape the noise, unwind, and enjoy a quiet moment over tea—a rare find in the hustle of NYC.

#3 🍳 Hudson Table

Hudson Table is known as a "culinary event space," but beyond that, it hosts live chef competitions and multi-course chef’s tables, where guests can experience experimental dishes crafted by rising culinary talents in the city.

I’m curious—what did you think of today’s edition? Hit ‘reply’ and share your feedback—I’d love to hear it!
