Bethenny Frankel, Olivia Culpo and Jules Wainstein were among the New Yorkers who celebrated The Stanton Social’s 10+1 Anniversary in New York City on September 21. The Stanton Social is one of the most iconic restaurant and lounges on the Lower East Side. Led by Chef Chris Santos and TAO Group Co-Founder Rich Wolf, The Stanton Social was inspired by Santos’ own world travels, creating a multi-cultural menu, designed for sharing and experiential dining.
To commemorate 11 years on the Lower East Side, a special menu of signature menu items from the past and present were served including Chef Santos’ Potato & Goat Cheese Pierogies; Chef Ryan Angulo’s Crab Cake Corn Dogs; and Chef Neill Howell’s Foie Gras Roulade with Onion Marmalade and Roasted Pistachios. Additional signature items included the Kobe Beef and Veggie Sliders, Doughnuts and sweet cupcakes.
The Stanton Social was designed by James Beard award winning team AvroKo to create a “jewel” of a restaurant, conjuring up their favorite dishes and by paying homage to the LES garment industry past with innovative design. The three-level space features a thirty-foot glowing, herringbone-patterned wine wall displaying over 2,000 bottles of wine. From the fringe-covered walls, fine lizard skin banquettes, hat box lampshades, and belt strapped pillows, The Stanton Social tips its hat to the luxury and glamour found in the textiles and fashions of the 1940’s.
