Reimagine The Office Space Of The Future With Renaissance Properties

 Renaissance Properties hosted an exclusive event on the rooftop of the recently renovated historic commercial space in NoHo to showcase the building's renovations for business owners in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

While many companies transitioned to "Working From Home" due to the COVID-19 pandemic this year, there is still demand for commercial buildings and office space - especially those equipped with the right safety protocols.

Located in the heart of NoHo, 632 Broadway, also known as 166 Crosby Street, is just the right building for those seeking "COVID-appropriate" arrangements. The landmarked Classical Revival loft building, which was designed by Robert Maynicke and built in 189, was originally used for mercantile purposes, including garment manufacturing. Today, it hosts a luxury health and wellness center, as well as various tech and finance businesses.

Kenneth Fishel, President of Renaissance Properties, partially attributes the building’s success to its windows. Each floor of the 12-story tower features dozens of large, wood-framed windows that allow tenants to fill their space with fresh air. The building even retains its original airshaft, which funnels fresh air into lower floors that have less of a breeze.

To prevent crowds from forming in the building’s historic lobby – which won a preservation award for a careful renovation that book-matched the original marble and restored the handmade ceramic mosaic floor -- Renaissance Properties is creating a second lobby entrance. The new, larger lobby address at 166 Crosby Street will allow workers to more easily maintain social distancing by entering the building from a less crowded side street. The building also features a new large bicycle room to encourage safe and environmentally friendly commuting.

With an eye towards distressed assets, Renaissance specializes in value-add investments with a focus on Prewar Prime Properties. From commercial & retail building ownership, to leasing, management and construction, Renaissance has built its reputation on the superior capabilities and efficiency of its people, its most important resource. With an emphasis on quality and attention to detail, Renaissance brings a high level of comfort and modern technology, including the most elegant build-outs and the fastest services to all of its treasured tenants.

Amazing Churrasco Experience With Decadent Porterhouse Just In Time For Fall

 Make new memories while safely dining out this fall at Fogo de Chão, an internationally-renowned Brazilian steakhouse. This season, the steakhouse is introducing a premium Porterhouse steak to the Full Churrasco Experience.

Fogo de Chão specializes in the centuries-old Southern Brazilian cooking technique of churrasco – the art of roasting high-quality cuts of meats over open flame, all of which are carved table-side by Brazilian-trained gaucho chefs. Founded in Southern Brazil in 1979, Fogo de Chão boasts 55 locations throughout Brazil, US, Mexico, and the Middle East.

In light of the current situation, Fogo implemented 12 Safety Promises, which include enhanced sanitation protocols and additional safety measures, to protect the health and well-being of guests and team members alike. For example, the restaurants are sanitized three times daily to CDC standards, tables spacing and guests are limited to meet local requirements, and menus and digital payment devices are wiped down between each use, all the while maintaining enhanced hospitality like Market Table Chefs available to prepare and serve salads table side.

Fogo’s distinctive and authentic Brazilian dining experience typically begins with the seasonal Market Table and Feijoada Bar, which includes seasonal salads, soup, fresh vegetables, imported charcuterie and more. The restaurant features a variety of simply seasoned meats that are fire-roasted by gaucho chefs, plus seafood, desserts, signature cocktails and an award-winning wine list.

The new Porterhouse steak, which is now part of the Full Churrasco Experience, is a decadent cut seasoned with sea salt and fire-roasted on the bone to maximize flavor. The Porterhouse has two steaks in one cut – tender Filet Mignon on one side and expertly-seared New York Strip on the other. It is served with flavorful chimichurri sauce.

The decadent dessert menu includes classic favorites like New York Style Cheesecake and Molten Chocolate Cake, as well as unique Brazilian favorites like Papaya Cream (fresh papaya blended with vanilla ice cream and topped with a black currant liqueur), Creme de Coconut (shredded coconut baked with condensed milk and cream, served warm with vanilla ice cream and lime zest), and Tres Leches Cake (rich cake soaked in three types of milk then topped with vanilla mousse and salted caramel dulce de leite).
