Today, we would like to introduce to you one of the restaurants of the city that never sleeps in order to deny this myth since, even if it is not always easy to find them, New York owns a wide and delicious range of gastronomy possibilities.

In this case, we have visited the Greenwich Village, on the West side of Lower Manhattan. The neighbourhood is famous for being a bastion of Bohemia and artistic culture and have been home of successful artists such as Bob Dylan.

On the Washington Street we found the well-known restaurant “The Standard Grill” of the Hotel The Standard. It offers different menus for breakfast, lunch, dinner and it also has a wide wine and cocktail list.

As a proof of their delicious meals, several magazines and newspapers such as Vogue or the New York Magazine have qualified it as “perfection” and “delicious”. The Time Out New York wrote a whole article recommending what we should eat and drink.

The famous American gastronomy magazine, Gourmet, mentions also the chef of the restaurant, Dan Silverman, awarded with prices like the “Best New Chef” or “20 Top Table” two years in a row. The magazine of the premium life, Robb Report, also writes that “Silverman excels at taking dishes you know and love and presenting the best renditions of them”.

If you have the incredible chance to be in New York, do not miss this wonderful experience that the restaurant offers. Besides, you may be able to meet some of the celebrities that usually go to this fantastic grill!

This work is homage to classic art states Eladio de Mora, known as Demo, when asked about the installation. He adds It’s a tribute to a master of classicism such as Michelangelo as well as a tribute to a universal icon of ideal beauty with a contemporary icon of fashion such as Missoni.

As a result of Demo’s creativity  and the invaluable assistance of Luca Missoni, this statue of more than 5 meters high, (like the original),  made ​​of fiberglass, steel and polyester resins, is born on the occasion of the Vogue Fashion Night Out held in Madrid and is named “Classic Movement”.

In conformity with the work’s spirit, this reinterpretation of David will be displayed in the Meatpacking district of Manhattan, an industrial and avant-garde neighborhood, which combines art and fashion in the city.

Demo is one of the most internationally renowned Spanish artists thanks to his artwork and his sculptures of bears, cats, or paintings of fried eggs. He uses different languages such as figurative art, pop art and expressionism to reinterpret everyday elements. We enjoy him in Spain and now in New York as well.

We declare ourselves absolute Demo fans and in favor of his message: “people, whichever planet they’re coming from, will always respond in a positive way to art”.

For those who are looking forward for more will be pleased to know that in Paris, the Banke Hotel hosts some of his works and in Madrid his  giant gummy bears are exhibited at the Hotel Urban’s Glass Bar.
