Park Avenue Spring has débuted on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Over a forty-eight hour timeframe, the restaurant was completely transformed from Park Avenue Winter to a completely new décor for Spring, inspired by a classic English garden with wild, raw vegetation and materials. To convert the cuisine to the new season, executive chef Kevin Lasko created the refined, spring-inspired menu with contemporary classic dishes. The menu's focus evolved from showcasing winter’s rustic flavors to highlighting the best of spring’s produce. Richard Leach, James Beard award winner and executive pastry chef, developed a selection of stunning dessert presentations, highlighting spring fruits, like rhubarb and berries.
Restaurateur Michael Stillman joined forces with award-winning design firm AvroKO (Public, Stanton Social) on the concept and all aspects of architecture, design, and graphics of the new restaurant. The physical design of Park Avenue reflects a space with a sense of discovery, rather than stereotypical physical manifestations of a "season." This led the design team in part to Captain James Cook’s explorative travels as a loose design reference. They looked at the regions he had visited in each of his major expeditions as a way of framing each season.
Conceptually, the designers looked abroad for inspiration, imagining the space as a classic English garden with wild and raw vegetation and materials. Deep green and brass wall panels frame the room. The exposed niches are clad in brass and house antique pots filled with oversized, exotic purple floral. Banquettes will be upholstered in dark green and chair backs will have an elegant green and brass thin-striped vertical pattern. The ceiling becomes barrel-vaulted in a smoked laurel burl wood. In the center of the dining room is a modern interpretation of a classic garden’s centerpiece with vintage cast wild dog heads and a series of exotic greenery and floral.
