ATHLEISURE LIST | PECK SLIP SOCIAL

Peck Slip Social is a bar by locals, for everyone that is located on Peck Slip in New York City’s Seaport district.

Alex Davis and Learan Kahanov (Madam Secretary, Clerks III, Power Book II: Ghost) opened a bar in their own neighborhood. Alex is a middle school principal by day. Learan, has been in the neighborhood for 25 years, is a cinematographer who has worked on feature films and is a co-founder of the annual Taste of the Seaport which raises funds for two local public schools.

This bar's food is a collaboration between Chef Taylor Miller (Perry Street, Tin Building by Jean Georges, Ichiran) who leads the kitchen and Learan with a MediterAsian menu that blend the cuisines together as well as reflecting the team's heritage and travels in the Mediterranean, Middle East, and Asia.

The menu has an interesting breakdown. The 3 Smallest Plates we have in mind to share includes the Spicy Cucumber Salad; Lamb Lumpia with wasabi-honey mustard; and Garlic Confit Schmear with grilled bread.

3 Small Plates we like are the Housemade Hummus (Learan’s family recipe); BEK Fried Rice with applewood smoked bacon, house made kimchi and fried egg, and Bao Bun Sliders with pulled pork, pickled daikon, chili, fresh cucumbers and Japanese BBQ sauce.

For their Smallish Plates we'd like to share the Mushroom Shawarma, which is served in a pita with fries, and the mix-and-match Skewers of lamb, mushroom, chicken and steak.

As the owners love whiskey, there are over 100 whiskeys on the menu, with a strong focus on bourbon and rye showcasing the best of American spirits — each category is listed geographically by state (and country) so guests can quickly find an old favorite or try something new. Whiskey flights are also available, offering the opportunity for exploration. Some really exciting options are the 11-year aged Stolen bourbon from Indiana, the 18-year aged single barrel Elijah Craig bourbon from Kentucky, and the heirloom Jaywalk rye from New York.

3 Cocktails we're eyeing include, the Morgan with Woodinville 100% Rye, lemon juice, honey, egg white, cherry cacao bitters, and brandied cherries; Moti with Hibiki whiskey, agave, blood orange juice, soda, Japanese chili and lime bitters, and jalapeno; and Laura with Redemption Rye, Creole and Peychaud’s bitters, absinthe, orange and star anise.

The bar is divided into two open rooms: one with communal seating and a small stage featuring a 200-year-old standup piano for weekly jazz nights and singer-songwriter performances, and another side set up for play with a free pool table, sofa seating, board games and more. A 24-foot bar, the longest in the neighborhood, connects the two spaces.

ATHLEISURE LIST | FOMO MOMO

Fomo Momo founders Ankita Nagpal and Impreet Sodhi met in New York and bonded over a shared love of food. They first launched Fomo Momo in 2021 when they debuted a pop-up at the popular Smorgasburg food market after developing and testing their own recipes. Then they launched a food truck in Jersey City in 2023. This is their first brick-and mortar-location.

They infuse Indian flavors — like masala spice blends, tandoori marinades, flavorful chutneys and more — into Tibetan momos (a type of dumpling), which crossed the border into Northern India, where they became popular street food in the '90s. The momos are paired with Indian chutneys like tamarind and Indo-Chinese condiments like the spicy Schezwan, made with red chilies. The fusion of momos served here has Indian flavors and spices, they don't keep the Tibetan flavors. They come in a variety of fillings and can be steamed and fried.

They feel that it's important to have options for everyone. The signature Momos are filled with vegetables (or chicken) but the cheese filling is new, added in response to customer requests. The soy chaap (Southeast Asian soy-based protein) options were expanded, plus there are plenty of vegetarian snacks and different paneer cheese sandwiches. There's no pork or beef on the menu, and some of the vegetarian dishes can be made vegan, too.

The New York City menu includes sandwiches unique to the location offered for the first time. All come on large round potato buns with cilantro chutney and crunchy onions. Three to try are the tandoori mayo laced Crispy Chicken Sandwich; and Butter Chicken Sandwich and Paneer Makhani Sandwich, both topped with rich butter chicken gravy.

Signature momos have 3 filling options: vegetables, paneer or chicken. They can be enjoyed plain with a chutney for dipping or in one of a variety of preparations like Schezwan, an Indo-Chinese condiment with red chilies; Makhani, butter chicken sauce; and Tandoori, marinated in spicy yogurt with ginger and garlic, then finished in a tandoor oven for a smoky flavor.

Pair this with the Tandoori Paneer Fingers, paneer marinated in Tandoori sauce, battered and fried, Masala Fries dusted in spices; and Samosas. All the snacks are great with chutneys like chili garlic, cilantro, or tamarind.

Their Soy Chaap nuggets have a variety of flavors including Malai, Tandoori and Achari (spiced yogurt with Indian pickled mango).

Pair your meal with their housemade Masala or Rose Lemonade; housemade Chai; and Indian sodas like the rose-flavored cola Thums Up (national soda of India) and lemon-lime Limca.

ATHLEISURE LIST | CASA SOL AT MAXX ROYAL BODRUM RESORT

It's officially time to think about planning our vacations for 2025 and we can see staying at Maxx Royal Bodrum Resort in Mugla, Turkey and eating at Casa Sol which opened in May of 2024.

Casa Sol is a concept collaboration between the resort and the F&B team with Corporate Chef Naoki Katori leading culinary and Shavinraj "Sha" Gopinath along with global consultancy Proof Creative which focuses on the drinks. The design of he bar and restaurant was led by GEO_ID.

This concept is situated just steps from the beach with dazzling views, Casa Sol transforms from a tranquil scene for a quiet breakfast into a relaxed locale for lunch in between dips in the ocean and a sophisticated nightlife venue as the sun goes down and the vibes pick up. The venue is entirely al fresco, with a mix of bar and restaurant seating for all group sizes.

The cuisine at Casa Sol is progressive Latin, merging traditional recipes with original elements to create an eclectic mix of dishes. The Chef de Cuisine José L. Castañeda Neri is an accomplished chef with a passion for innovative, high-end cuisine and has over a decade of experience in luxury hospitality.

For Breakfast, we suggest: Chilaquiles, which are corn chips cooked in a rich molcajete tomato sauce topped with sour cream, white cheese, avocado, cilantro and fried egg. For Lunch: Pescado Zarandeado, which is grilled seabream rubbed with chilies adobo served with citrus micro salad. For Dinner: Blackened Rib Eye, which is ribeye crusted with recado negro served with roasted eggplant puree, broccolini, roasted onion, chiles toreados & tortillas.

Casa Sol’s signature cocktail menu is split into two sections Sun Hats (lighter, more refreshing daytime options) and Shoulder Pads (features slightly more complex, spirit-forward drinks designed to enjoy into the evening), a nod to the 1980s beach town nostalgia felt throughout the offerings.

We suggest their Canta-Trio, a blend of tequila blanco, a citrus trio of grapefruit, lime and orange, agave and a spiced salt rim, The Balmy Cobbler with Pisco, pineapple, balsamic and berry shrub and lemon, and The Runway, a clarified milk punch with aged rum, banana, house-made grenadine, lemon, mixed berries, orange and a house spice mix.

If you're interested in hosting an event at Casa Sol, they offer a range of options from small gatherings to full buyouts. Their team can provide detailed information to tailor it to your needs.

ATHLEISURE LIST | L'ANTICA PIZZERIA DA MICHELE

L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele traces its roots back to 1870 in Naples, Italy, and remains a symbol of authentic Neapolitan pizza to this day. The family-run pizzeria is dedicated to perfecting their craft, and continuing the legacy of the founding family. It is referred to as the Sacred Temple of Pizza and is a pilgrimage site for pizza enthusiasts.

Their US restaurants are designed and conceptualized to create a welcoming, home-like ambiance, where guests can savor wine and pizza at their leisure.

Owner/Restaurateur Francesco Zimone was born and raised in Naples, Italy and grew up dining at the 154-year-old pizzeria with his father. He moved to the US in 2002 and was a Financial Analyst for Lionsgate Films and then joined Universal Pictures to work with film producer Dino De Laurentiis (Giada De Laurentiis' father). He would later become the West Coast Italian food ambassador for Academia Barilla which fueled his dream of owning his own restaurants. He opened the first U.S. outpost of L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele in Hollywood in 2019.

When dining with friends and family, three must-try appetizers are the Gnocco Fritto, which has deep-fried pizza dough, creamy burrata, prosciutto, and arugula; the Meatballs, have Aspen Ridge beef, rich tomato sauce, freshly grated Parmigiano and served with crostino; and the Calamari with sliced zucchini, shrimp, and fennel, all perfectly paired with a zesty homemade arrabbiata sauce.

Salads that we have our eye on include their L’antica Caesar with Romaine, Radicchio, Capers, Parmigiano, Breadcrumb, Caesar-Anchovy Dressing; the Caprese Salad with Heirloom Tomato, Buffalo Mozzarella, Basil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Salt, Black Pepper; and the Carciofi Salad with Castelvetrano Radicchio, Artichokes, Pistachio, Pecorino Romano, Lemon Dressing.

When it comes to pizza, we recommend the classic Margherita with Tomato, Fior di Latte, Pecorino and Basil; the Diavola with Tomato, Fior di Latte, Pecorino, Basil and Spicy Salame—a fan favorite; and L'antica standout, the Truffle Pizza with Double Fior di Latte, Pecorino, Basil and Shaved Truffle.

We suggest adding Truffle Fries topped with Parmigiano and Shaved Black Truffle! Pair it with the classic Italian cocktail with a twist: the Alpine Spritz made with Alpe Amaro, Giffard Pamplemousse, Prosecco, Grapefruit, finished with sparkling water. Enjoy their Tiramisu—coffee soaked sponge, marsala cream and cocoa.

For brunch enjoy Italian classics such as their iconic Italian Omelette, Ricotta Bruschetta, Pizza Carbonara, and the Frittata Dell’orto. Pair with a refreshing La Primavera with Stray Dog gin, aperol, lime, foam, chartreuse mist.

ATHLEISURE LIST | HIRAYA

We head to DC to Hiraya with Chef/Owner Paolo Dungca which opened in September 2023 in the city's H Street neighborhood. When dining here, you'll enjoy Filipino cuisine which is described as a balance between salty, sweet, and sour. It is a true melting pot of all cuisines because of their history and experiences.

You'll feel at home as they have two unique experiences in the same building. The downstairs café is an all-day brunch affair, where you can come in and enjoy coffee, Filipino breakfast staples, and french pastries with Asian twists. You can hang out all day, work from home during the week, or come and enjoy weekend brunch. Upstairs, there is an upscale tasting room. They offer an 8-course tasting menu at the chef's counter and a la carte dining options in the dining room - a progressive, Filipono fare. They also have Filipino-inspired cocktails and wine pairings available to accompany each meal.

It was important for Chef Paolo to have a casual spot in the day where you can come in 3-4 times a week! Upstairs, he wanted to have something where you can come in and celebrate your special occasions.

When you're downstairs he suggests the MAKULAY LATTE, or RAINBOW LATTE, featuring the flavors of yellow birthday cake. He also recommends their SILOG BREAKFAST BOWLS (TAPSILOG, TOCILOG, or LONGSILOG). These are very nostalgic from his childhood growing up in the Philippines. Lastly, enjoy one of their unique pastries. They take staple French-American pastries and add their own unique twist to them, for example, their Black Truffle Ensaymada.

The chef’s tasting menu is a fun way for to introduce diners into this heritage. They start off with Filipino dessert staples that are turned into savory courses, and as the menu progresses, it incorporates classic dishes that are reinterpreted in a modern way. They want to challenge the guests' perception on what Filipino food can be. Filipino food is often eaten with rice, but throughout this menu progression no rice is being served with the menu to offer a more unique experience and insight into the culture’s cuisine.

Enjoy Sunset Hour which runs from 3pm-6pm daily at the café.

In the restaurant, 3 dishes on the a la carte menu they suggest includes: the Cassava Cake with Crab fat, Lardo and Ikura, the Pato Tim which is Roasted Duck with Five Spice, Carmelized Plums and Star Anise and the Palabok with Octopus, Pasta Chitarra, and Quail Egg.

In August, they will participate in the RAMW Restaurant Week starting August 12th - 18th. They have also partnered with Resy for their 10 year anniversary starting August 19th - 23rd.

ATHLEISURE LIST | OTHERSHIP

Othership launched in Toronto in February 2022. The COVID restrictions ended in late January. Due to the success and the demand that took place in its first month, their second location in Toronto opened. They knew that a number of cities have people that are stressed and struggle and are ultra social. The Flatiron location opened in July 2024 and 25 Kent Ave. They will also have another in Williamsburg, BK next year with 6,168 sqft.

The 5 founders include Robbie Bent, his wife Emily Bent, and their best friends - Amanda Laine, Harrison Taylor, and Myles Farmer. With a focus on developing healthier communities in Toronto, they started by building a makeshift ice bath and sauna in Robbie's backyard together, they discovered that the combination of hot and cold immersion acted as a powerful social tool, breaking down barriers and fostering connection.

For each location, the goal is to create an environment that embraces emotions and vulnerability, empowering people to be kind to themselves, adopt a healthy mindset, and build community - free from alcohol. We want people to start their day with a reset, or come in and socialize for a night out away from bar culture.

Othership’s custom-designed ice baths are kept icy cold as low as 32°F. The benefits are many, including a sense of pride after class, improved focus and enhanced mood, and a complete reduction of stress. The ice bath also enhances recovery and reduces soreness after workouts, along with benefits like reduced inflammation and a stronger immune system.

Othership’s performance saunas are designed to provide a clean, fresh heat up to 190°F, with aromatic snowballs providing humidity that feels like 200°F. Users find focus and meditative experiences, increased blood circulation, and reduced cortisol levels.

Free Flow classes allows you to use the space how you like. You can hang out with friends and there are quiet free flows as well throughout the day. Social replaces the bar or nightclub as a place to meet people at night. Sometimes there are DJs, music, and even comedy nights. Classes fall into 3 categories (up, down, and all around for energy, relaxation, or emotional connection) and they offer breathwork, aromatherapy via essential oils, towel waving, and a curated soundscape.

Journeyers should wear a bathing suit and make sure to bring a water bottle (no glass). Towels are provided.

Othership offers a performance sauna, the coldest commercial ice baths in North America, and a beautiful amphitheater seating social commons area with three kinds of tea. They have showers, changing stalls, and washrooms as well as lockers for storing belongings. It is also wheelchair accessible.

• Electrolytes & other nutrients: Nutritional powerhouse, containing essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids such as glycine and proline to support a healthy immune system and overall well-being.

• Improved sleep: Amino acid glycine has a calming effect on the body to improve sleep quality.

• Social connection: Opportunity to connect with friends after class when endorphins are released to reduce stress and improve mood. Before and after classes, people often meet in the lobby or outdoor patio to connect while sipping on a cup of bone broth. The studio is thoughtfully designed to feel like an extension of a curated home and has a collection of print publications from the local magazine store.

While at the studio, enjoy all necessary equipment, including mats, towels, weights, resistance brands, and balls at no cost for each guest.

ATHLEISURE LIST | SAVTA

A longtime Los Angeles resident, Vincent Benoliel is bringing his West Coast flair in the kitchen to New York with Savta, his California-inspired restaurant located in Greenwich Village. It is his second project in NYC following the opening of Pasta Corner (shared in the SEP ISSUE #93 2023 of Athleisure List) in the summer of 2023 with friend French pop star Matt Pokora. Vincent owns another branch of Pasta Corner in LA, along with his bakery there, Michelina. The inspiration behind Savta (meaning grandmother in Hebrew) is Vincent’s grandmother Lisou Dahan, who ran two restaurants in the south of France and first taught Vincent about cooking.

The decor and ambiance at Savta is very Greenwich Village and cozy with exposed brick and inviting wood line the intimate space that features a welcoming outdoor back garden that is heated during cooler months. There is a long bar that leads to the dining room and garden filled with plants.

Savta is offering lunch from 12-5pm Wednesdays - Fridays. We suggest these 3 dishes for your next meal here: The sandwiches on pizza dough have been a smash hit for lunch at Savta. Don't miss the Parma Affair with grilled chicken, prosciutto, burrata, pesto and basil; Skirt Steak with chimichurri and a spinach salad with shaved parmesan cheese; and the Mushroom Toast with creme fraiche and thyme.

Dinner is from 5pm Wednesday through Sunday, with pizza and drinks served until late on Fridays (1am) and Saturdays (2am). The dinner menu is already packed with favorites like the Sauteed Corn with feta cheese, cilantro and a yogurt sauce; Spianata Pizza with piccante calabrese salumi, grilled peppers and fior di latte cheese; and the Dry-aged Ribeye with hand cut fries. Vincent also recommends trying a new dish, the Sea Bass with mint tzatziki and roasted pumpkin seeds.

Brunch is on the weekend from 11am-4pm. It's been a favorite on Bleecker Street since its opening weekend. We suggest the Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon on a homemade croissant; the Japanese Eggplant with agrodolce, tahini, sumac and cherry tomatoes; and new to the menu is the Bleecker Street Hot Dog — two beef sausages on pizza dough bread served with onions, mustard, ketchup and sweet relish.

They offer wines from California, Italy and France, including prosecco on tap, plus beer. Some low ABV cocktails Vincent recommends include the Bleecker Mule (the house take on a Moscow Mule), Espresso Martini and Passion Margarita with passion fruit puree and a black-salt rim.

If you're swinging by for Happy Hour, it takes place from 5pm - 7pm Wednesday through Friday. You can enjoy a glass of Pinot Grigio or Malbec for $9, a glass of Prosecco for $11, and a Bleecker Mule for $14.

ATHLEISURE LIST | MUSIC FOR A WHILE

Located at the Selina Chelsea Hotel, Music For A While: Listening Bar & Lounge recently opened! Full Life Hospitality is behind the city's sought after venues which includes Virgo, Make Believe, Creatures at Selina Rooftop, and MFAW. They're looking to push the boundaries with their concepts for people to have incredible experiences.

This lounge is an escape for every music lover, a place where time stands still and memories are made. The venue not only offers music but stories, cultures, and connections.

When James Pfautz conceptualized the lighting design and consulted on the interior design, he wanted to compliment the concrete and wood tones as the negative space. This created an opportunity to highlight textured wood grains, industrial curved concrete, and warm-toned plush fabrics. The inspiration is the balance between blending analog movement with modern tech inputs.

The Vinyl Room redefines the way music is experienced. Billed as the venue's listening bar, featuring high-quality audio equipment set in an acoustically optimized environment, partons will experience high-fidelity sounds in an intimate setting. An ideal scene for audiophiles and casual listeners alike. The space pays homage to the art of listening, providing a meticulously crafted audio environment where every note, beat, and harmony is felt deeply.

The Lounge is ideal for those who like to pair movement and music and features the energy of live performances, DJ sets, and more. The Lounge invites guests to dance and mingle.

We suggest 3 cocktails to enjoy: HI-FI Collins - Mezcal, cocchi americano, lemon, muddled cucumbers; Martinez Martini - Angostura bitters, sweet vermouth, maraschino liqueur, gin, orange peer; and One Hit Wonder - Cocolopez, giffard abricot, plantation dark, diplomatico rum.

They are currently working on a light bites menu with Chef Neil Strauber. Guests can enjoy a special family-style dinner with the added benefit of guaranteed entry into our MFAW or a reserved table downstairs, along with a complimentary bottle of liquor.

Packages include: Tier 1: At $75 per person, this package offers dinner and drink pitchers, with guaranteed entry to our MFAW experience and Tier 2: For $125 per person, guests get dinner with bottle service, including drink pitchers at dinner and a bottle post-dinner, available for groups of 6+.

Guests can come on Fridays and Saturdays from 9pm-2am. 9-11pm they will offer a happy hour menu. $10 Martinis, $12 Cocktails, $6 Beers. They will have lineups featuring a dynamic range of genres including Afrobeats, House, Techno, and nostalgic 80s/Disco tunes.

ATHLEISURE LIST | YAO

YAO opened on Jan. 29th of 2024. Executive Chef-Owner, Kenny Leung, immersed himself in a government culinary program in Canton, China. After graduating, Chef Kenny flourished at Canton’s prestigious White Swan Hotel and Restaurant; it was the only restaurant to earn a Michelin Star. In 1988, he moved to NYC to join the culinary landscape. In 2015, he co-founded August Gatherings with Thomas Tang.

Thomas is an Owner-Operator, who grew up as the son of one of China’s top chefs who catered for regal events. As an adult, he moved to New York City. He met Chef Kenny while working together in the original location of August Gatherings. They decided to purchase the Canal Street location and have been partners since.

Every detail of YAO’s interior reflects the harmonious blend of Chef Kenny’s culinary art and meticulous eye for design.

YAO is a modern Cantonese cuisine located in the Financial District. Center to the YAO’s ethos are the crown jewels of Cantonese cuisine, abalone, sea cucumber, and fish maw.

The six-course tasting menu, named “Jia Yan”, a Chinese word loosely translating to “a celebratory family gathering” or “banquet begins with an amuse bouche followed by Shikoku Bamboo Shrimp Dumpling. The banquet continues with Gold Leaf wrapped Fried Abalone, sustainably sourced grade-6 wild abalone from South Africa that is deep-fried, sitting atop a house made sauce on a crispy wonton skin, wrapped in edible gold leaf. This creates several layers of texture, notable in Cantonese cuisine.

One of the main stars of the progression is the Alaskan King Crab Wensi Tofu Soup. The broth is a two-day production, made from the shell of the crab with ham and chicken, not boiled, then placed in a water bath. Grilled Angus Short Rib is tenderized with kiwi, drizzled tableside in a pear and oyster sauce. Longevity Noodles with Fish Maw is a jewel in Cantonese cuisine as it's rich in collagen. The final course of the progression is their seasonal signature dessert, a warm Deep Fried Mochi Sesame Ball filled with Red Bean Paste served on top of a homemade seasonal fuji apple sorbet.

The six-course tasting menu is available for both lunch and dinner, Monday through Sunday from 11:30 a.m. – 10 p.m.

In addition, you can order from the a la carte menu as well. For appetizers, we suggest Brown Sugar Duck Thigh, Shumai Abalone and Pork as well as Fried Crab Meat with Shrimp dim sum. For entrees, we suggest Oven Roasted Black Angus Short Rib, Wensi Tofu Soup and Assorted Organic Mushrooms in Hot Stone Pot.

ATHLEISURE LIST | PASTA

Pasta is co-founded by the talented husband-wife duo Juan Manuel Umbert and Janice Buraschi in 2019 and embodies a love story interwoven with culinary passion. Their love for open kitchen concepts is inspired their need to create simple, fresh ingredients, and passion for the culinary arts. Juan Manuel and Janice’s dream of creating a pasta dining experience came to life first in a 25-seat eatery in Lima. Now, they are thrilled to bring this authentic pasta journey to Miami's vibrant food scene.

The restaurant is not Italian-Peruvian cuisine, but is focused on traditional pastas by Peruvian chefs. Guests will not find Peruvian Italian pasta, but they can expect to see the synergy between the two cuisines and a respect for it!

The chefs are passionate about pasta and it was also something that was missing in Lima when they opened their first location. It also is what blew their minds the first time they visited Italy. There is something so rewarding about making something that appears to be so simple yet so complex with your hands and making people happy with it.

They opened their restaurant in Italy with much success, but with the pandemic and the political crisis in Peru, they wanted to go abroad. Miami is an amazing city that has been increasing their restaurant openings. The chefs also have relatives and friends there as well.

The Miami location has an open kitchen and a rustic, modern, and minimalistic vibe. The menu is the same as what is in Lima with ingredients that are found in the US. They are also excited to have ingredients from Italy brought to Miami.

We suggest for appetizers: the housemade Stracciatella with their housemade sourdough bread, the razor clams with nduja salsa verde, and the bruschetta with housemade nduja, honey, and 24-month Parmigiano Reggiano.

For their signature dishes, we have our eye on: the pici cacio e pepe, pappardelle with 15-hour braised beef cheek ragù, and the mushroom agnolotti.

To conclude your meal, these desserts are a great way to enjoy something sweet: Pistachio tart, tiramisu (made with their housemade mascarpone) and their tarta de quesos.

Cocktails that are perfect to pair with your meal include: Milano Torino or a spritz as an aperitif, and great Italian wines will pair with everything.
