Brass is a restaurant that makes grown-ups feel younger. It has all the buzz of an Instagram-powered eatery aimed at the Gen Z trust-fund crowd but with a higher comfort level, professional service and a French-American menu that makes “traditional” seem trendy.
Tucked deep inside the century-old Evelyn Hotel at 7 E. 27th St., plush-and-pretty Brass is an Art Deco-inspired jewel box. Meant to evoke the “golden age” of New York society, it’s the newest entry in the mushrooming Nomad hotel-dining scene, which now includes Cafe Carmellini at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, Jose Andres’ Bazaar and Zaitainiya at the Ritz-Carlton Nomad and Cecconi’s at The Ned.
Brass is the brainchild of the duo behind wildly popular bistro/wine bar Wildair, Jeremiah Stone and Fabián von Hauske Valtierra. They teamed up with owner Nick Hatsatouris to take over what was previously Benno, a high-end Italian spot that fell victim to the pandemic.
