Park Avenue Summer has returned to the Upper East Side of Manhattan, just in time to herald the season's arrival. This original concept brings to life the seasonal premise of the restaurant with a physical design, cuisine, and beverage program that completely change with the season.

The team behind midtown rustic American restaurant Quality Meats collaborated to create Park Avenue Summer. Restaurateur Michael Stillman joins 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.

Summer in particular has references from the Galapagos Islands, envisioned through a classic, naturalist's lens, and then reinterpreted with a modernist's sensibilities. Forty hand-cast tortoise shells are mounted throughout the space on high gloss lacquered panels as part of a custom steel frame system that will change seasonally. Cook's original maps are utilized as a departure point for the identity, menu graphics, and wine labels. Reclaimed, whitewashed wood from a coastal town also forms portions of the ceiling planes, doors and cabinets.
