The Legendary Caviar Kaspia Comes to New York
While all of Manhattan (and some parts of Brooklyn) experienced the thunderous nightlife energy that could only signal the beginning of New York Fashion Week this weekend, a stylish group of editors, designers, and gastronomy enthusiasts made their way uptown for a tamer affair. Within the walls of New York's Mark Hotel, Lauren Santo Domingo, Moda Operandi's chief brand officer and co-founder, hosted a dinner to celebrate the city's latest restaurant addition: Caviar Kaspia.
Founded in 1927, Caviar Kaspia’s first home was in Paris at the Place de la Madeleine and it soon became the it-destination to host both elegantly and lavishly. Today, events like couture week draw in fashion's buzziest names including Giambattista Valli, Naomi Campbell, Tom Ford, and more. Even Jay-Z and Beyonce have been spotted there.
While the Parisian restaurant has celebrated the wonders of roe across the Atlantic for nearly a century, the uptown location marks its first-ever in New York. "Opening Caviar Kaspia inside the iconic Upper East Side hotel is a milestone for our Parisian institution," Ramon Mac-Crohon, CEO of Caviar Kaspia, said in a press release. "Caviar Kaspia assumes its authentic attachment to the international sphere of fashion and creatives. It was therefore a natural evolution for us to open at The Mark Hotel with whom we share the same values, philosophy, and clientele. It’s a match made in luxury heaven."
Hosting alongside Mac-Crohon and Izak Senbahar, co-owner of The Mark, Domingo ensured that guests reveled within the old-world glamorous space designed by Jacques Grange. Champagne flowed from the Belgian Black marble bar to those feasting on Caviar Kaspia's signature baked potato which was topped with a generous amount of caviar. For dessert, guests enjoyed a baba served with raspberries whose color was further enhanced by the restaurant's signature turquoise Pantone tablecloths. Conversations of the week to come, the year that has been, and plans ahead were had between simple floral arrangement of yellow mimosas and goldenrods by Sibel Mermelstein of Lady Fleur.
It turns out, that there is more to celebrate during fashion week than clothes. After all, where are people meant to fuel up for the shows to come?
Caviar Kaspia will be open for lunch and dinner to the public beginning on February 17. Reservations are required; please visit Resy for availability.
