Colicchio & Sons

In the never ending battle to provide differentiated food in New York City, Top Chef’s Tom Colicchio is certainly victorious. His new establishment, Colicchio and Sons, offers an assorted menu that ranges from braised rabbit leg with cheddar grits, poached egg, and soffrito to potatoes in a sawtooth ale broth. One way for Colicchio to compliment his eclectic methods of preparing proteins and starches is to add a wood-burning oven. We were responsible for fabricating and installing the paneling that surrounds the oven’s hood-vent. The paneling was fabricated out of 10′ x 3/8′ steel plate and are an impressive 9″ tall by 5″ wide. The fiery orange glow around the outside is a combination of interior lighting and pressed mica panelite. The installation was completed in only one day but will be provide Colicchio and Son’s with an aesthetic appeal for a long time to come.

Patroon Restaurant and Bar

Midtown’s Patroon Restaurant added a new rooftop bar, June 30, 2010. We fabricated and installed a giant, curved, stainless steel back bar and foot rail to compliment the modern atmosphere of the new space. Owner, Ken Aretsky, along with executive chef, Bill Peet, have received four star reviews for their blend of contemporary American cuisine and upscale dining. The Roof offers patrons the same edgy elegance in the form of an open-air lounge. To see the back bar stocked and ready for action, enjoy a cocktail and some fresh air at Aretsky’s Patroon.

Plein Sud Staircase

M.C. Escher himself would have been impressed with this project. The goal for this project was to create a staircase that also appeared to be upside down. The project, located at The Smyth Hotel in Tribeca, was centered around the bar and led to the downstairs lounge. The Smyth Hotel is highly acclaimed for providing both hotel accommodations and upscale residences with a distinguished modern appeal. If you ever get the chance to go see the project, keep your eyes open, David Bowie might just be walking down the stairs singing Within You.

The World Financial Center looked to increase the appeal of it’s plaza by creating a lunch friendly atmosphere with kiosks that would serve food from local vendors. Restaurants such as Ed’s Lobster Bar have created a lot of talk about the plaza and spurred interest in the new lunch destination. Other vendors include Harry’s Italian and Quality Burger. All three of these restaurants are institutions in the Manhattan area and are sure to provide a meal worth traveling for.

Artist survives roadtrip for Art’s sake.

scott — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 22:22:43 +0000

Our very good friend and talented sculptor/ blacksmith Corrina Mensoff has come to town to exhibit her work on the East River this weekend. After enduring a grueling road trip from Atlanta including one alternator replacement and a very hairy scary, near death experience on the New Jersey turnpike due to a tire blow out, she and her assistant arrived safely yet frazzled the other night. After the blow out it took three hours to get the tire fixed with Tractor Trailers whizzing by and no show tow trucks, until someone finally came to their rescue. Speaking with her on the phone, I could hear and feel the trailers wooshing by. I was scared. AAA roadside assistance won’t give you a hand on route 73 so keep that in mind if you slip off of the Turnpike.

Heading out the next day to install the artwork, the good people at the state parks department decided her sculpture looked like laundry and that it needed to be relocated from the nice grass plot that was promised to a windy and noisy spot under the Manhattan Bridge, on top of a pile of boulders. I’m not quite sure where it has ended up but I went to go see how they were fairing after thinking, “What are you complaining about, you got a sculpture all the way from Atlanta and you get to exhibit it under the bridge!” Needless to say the spot didn’t work. The opening is this Saturday in Dumbo on the east river as per the info posted below. As of yet I don’t know where the sculpture has ended up out there but I hope it all got worked out. Come out on Saturday and enjoy a day in Dumbo.

Pictures to come.

27^th Annual BWAC Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition at

Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park and Brooklyn Bridge Park

Opening Reception: Saturday July 25 3-7pm

Show Closes September 5, 2009

Brooklyn, NY The Brooklyn Waterfront Artist Coalition (BWAC) in conjunction with the New York State Office of Parks and Recreation and Historic Preservation presents the 27^th annual outdoor sculpture show at the Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park and the Brooklyn Bridge Park. The parks are situated in the thriving community of DUMBO between the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges on the banks of the East River with dramatic views of the New York Harbor.

The title of the show is “Abundance”. Since the financial world seems to be focusing on the lack, this show points out that the bottom line provider, planet Earth, still provides for the people; the same way it did before the big financial crisis. The show focuses on work that is made from materials that are abundant; not scarce and expensive like a precious metal but rather plentiful or left over from something else. The show also focuses on sculpture that is made from a process of repetition or excess. This exhibition features work that rises above the economy.

Artists include:

William Brayton, Adam Junior, Miggy Buck, Yasmin Gur, Matthew Burke, Judy Thomas, Kirstin Campbell, Ursula Clark, Kevin Kelly,

Nova Mihai Popa, Martin Springhetti, Oscar Garcia, Sarah Haviland,

Jarett Hawkins, Cathrin Hoskinson, Michael Ritchie, Bernard Klevickas,

Corrina Mensoff (The Friendship Project), Steven Kroeger,

Maximilian Pelzmann, Tyrome Tripoli, Eric Von Arx, Summer Yates
