Each of the new eateries will have exclusive menu items to only be sold at Hudson Yards and will open when the center does in March 2019, according to a Relate press release.
“From a strong cup of coffee in the morning, to a quick treat in the afternoon, to a celebratory meal at night, our diverse range of culinary offerings will provide a comprehensive and complementary dining experience for residents, employees, locals and visitors alike,” Kenneth Himmel, the president and CEO of Related’s mixed-use division, Related Urban, said in a statement.
A spokeswoman for Related declined to provide the terms of the deals.
Related also announced that French bakery Maison Kayser will open a ground-floor outpost on the ground floor of 55 Hudson Yards.
The Australian-style coffee chain Bluestone Lane will open a 1,600-square-foot outpost on the third floor of the Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards while Van Leeuwen plans to open a 650-square-foot store on the same floor, according to the release.
California-based chain Blue Bottle Coffee will open on the third floor of Shops & Restaurants and Fuku will have a 1,200-square-foot spot on the second floor.
Jack’s Stir Brew will have two locations in Hudson Yards, an 840-square-foot outpost on the fourth floor of Shops & Restaurants and a ground-floor location in the nearby 30 Hudson Yards.
