EMM Group Reinvents New York City Dining

Mark Birnbaum, owner of EMM Group, founded the hospitality company in 2006. Within 6 years he has opened several of New York City’s most prevalent nightclubs and restaurants. Lexington Brass, located at 517 Lexington Avenue, is one of the most popular bistros in New York City. Another radiating EMM Group restaurant is Abe & Arthur’s, also located in the Meatpacking District at 409 West 14th Street. Both menus take on familiar dishes that remind one of a home-cooked meal but with more sophisticated elements.

Lexington Brass has a wide variety of dishes, and with that comes menu favorites. Lobster mac & cheese is one of those staple menu items at Lexington Brass that keeps customers coming back time and time again. There is just enough lobster meat involved so it does not overpower the dish but enough to satisfy your palate. It is perfectly balanced with the cheese and pasta – and who doesn’t love crispy, perfectly golden breadcrumbs baked atop their mac & cheese? This is yet another classic American dish with a sophisticated twist at Lexington Brass that has become a favorite amongst patrons. Another popular menu item is the fried chicken. Unbelievably crispy and flavorful, the fried chicken has buttermilk dipped skin and moist and tender meat. To top it off, the fried chicken is served with honey butter that is savory and sweet and doesn’t disappoint.



At Abe & Arthur’s the menu consists of an array of American favorites from a 40 ounce, 21-Day Dry Aged Prime Porterhouse Steak to fun sides like Texas Style Onion Rings and Whole Cauliflower with Pistachios & Caramel. The menu at this elegant Midtown Manhattan restaurant also features an array of soups and salads, delectable appetizers, steaks and chops, and even raw bar dishes.

The name Abe & Arthur’s came in-part from Mark Birnbaum’s grandfather. “Arthur is my grandfather, Abe is Michael’s grandfather. And the “S” in SL [the name of EMM Group’s nightclub located downstairs from the restaurant] stands for Eugene’s grandfather, Simyone” Birnbaum said. EMM Group always finds ways to innovate traditional restaurants and menu items. Abe & Arthur’s and Lexington Brass, in true EMM fashion, reinvent city dining and elevate industry standards.

EMM Group’s Hung Huynh on Board with Catch Miami

 

Hung Huynh first joined the hospitality honcho’s at EMM Group after his big win on season three of Top Chef. Mark Birnbaum, Eugene Remm and Michael Hirtenstein of EMM Group knew they had to do something big for Catch in order to match the success of their other restaurants in the Meatpacking District. Acquiring the expertise of Top Chef winner Hung Huynh was the perfect strategy for making Catch NYC the sensational hit that it is.

Catch, located at 21 9th Avenue in New York City, is a three-floor, 14,000 square-foot seafood restaurant that can seat 260 people.  Hung Huynh contributed dishes like jumbo Cantonese-style lobster, Crispy Whole Red Snapper for two with Oyster Mushrooms, Dungeness Crab Tagliatelli with Flying Fish Roe & Scallion Tomato Sauce, and one of the dishes that helped dub him Top Chef, hamachi tartare with avocado, tomato vinegar, and fingerling potato chips. In EMM Group tradition, it was important that Huynh made everything large-scale and with over-the-top, indulgent flavors. “This is the first restaurant of my dreams,” Huynh said when announcing his collaboration with EMM Group for Catch.

Later this year, Mark Birnbaum, Eugene Remm and Michael Hirtenstein will once again use the culinary expertise of Hung Huynh to launch the much anticipated outpost of Catch in South Beach Miami within the James Royal Palm Hotel. Catch began when Remm and Birnbaum realized that there were no seafood restaurants in the Meatpacking District. Once a suitable location opened up, they grabbed it and soon after, acquired Huynh. The same can be said for Catch in Miami. While throwing a big party in Miami, the hospitality kings “noticed a lack of seafood-specific restaurant options in Miami, and a desire expressed by its residents for more social, shareable, city-style dining” said Mark Birnbaum. With Hung Huynh on board, there are endless possibilities for Catch. Miami is just one of many exciting milestones for Catch Restaurant.

New York's Serious Eats Chats with Thiago Silva

Thiago Silva has been rather busy as of late. Not only does he run a cereal-inspired doughnut section at EMM Group's The General, but he's also busy plating up delicious warm cookies at Mark Birnbaum and EMM Group's restaurant, CATCH. New York's Serious Eats recently sat down to chat with Thiago to catch up. Here's a great excerpt from the interview below:  

Does your heritage play into your menu? I feel like I put a little of me in everything. I don't think it's necessarily noticeable but I always try to put a little Brazil into my desserts.

Like where? Like the sticky coconut cake at The General. Coconut's a big thing in Asia but it's also big in Brazil, and I use the same soak that I use in my Brazilian cakes. Sweetened condensed milk is in Brazilians' cabinets everywhere and I love to use it. You can't go wrong. Even the custards in the doughnut are Brazilian-style custard that I used to do when I was little.

What, to you, is the most important thing about knowing how to cook? It's just so gratifying. Not only when you've had a rough day and you make yourself something but also when you do that for your family or a friend—they come home and are miserable and you see how much better it makes them feel. No matter what happens, or how bad life is, people always want to go out and eat. It's just something that you have to be able to know how to do—to cook for people and see how they feel, how gratifying it is. I think if you're a chef, that's why you do it—it's a lot of hard work, but it all pays off. I just want my son to eat everything.

In case you were wondering what some of the delicious pastry's look like that Thiago puts together, below are a few photos. And yes, they taste just as good as they look.

candy pineapple, mango sauce, candied pistachios

BlackBook recently caught up with esteemed chef, Thiago Silva – the 28-year-old Brazilian executive pastry chef behind all of EMM Group’s restaurants. Check an excerpt from the interview below:

At The General, the doughnut doesn’t stop there; the Bowery spot has become known for Thiago’s most nostalgic, breakfast creation: cereal-topped doughnuts. Yes, doughnuts topped with Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Puffs, or Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and filled with their respective cereal creams. “A lot of people think I was high when I came up with the idea,” Thiago says. “But I wanted a breakfast item, so I combined my favorite breakfast cereals with my really great doughnut recipe.”

The doughnut recipe is another wildfire idea Thiago’s concocted that’s become EMM Group’s top-ordered dessert across all their restaurants. On the sweets menus of their spots CATCH NY, CATCH Miami, Lexington Brass, and Abe & Arthur’s, you’ll find one signature doughnut. For CATCH Miami, it’s their key lime doughnut. At The General, it’s green tea. For the rest it changes, with flavors like pumpkin and peaches and cream.

While the food isn't the only thing that keeps folks coming back to Mark Birnbaum and EMM Group's establishments, it's one of the big selling points. Just check out the press section of the EMM Group's website and see for yourself.

And if you could put together any combination of doughnuts and cereal, what would it be?

Mark Birnbaum Takes CATCH to South Beach

The second floor dining room at CATCH Miami

Mark Birnbaum takes CATCH concept to South Beach, Miami at the James Royal Palm

In early 2013, just about one year after opening CATCH Restaurant in Manhattan's Meatpacking District, Mark Birnbaum, partner of EMM Group recently helped open its first outpost of the popular eatery within The James Royal Palm on Collins Avenue in South Beach, Miami.

The globally influenced seafood restaurant, with Top Chef winner, Executive Chef Hung Huynh at the helm, has enjoyed rave reviews and full reservation books since opening its doors in early 2013, proving CATCH’s high energy, city-style of dining has found itself a natural fit among South Beach fans.

The nearly 4,000 square foot restaurant, fashioned between two floors and 190 seats, leaves much of the venue's landmarked, art-deco style interior intact. Upon arrival guests walk thru the 40 seat outdoor patio and into a 1,770 square foot First Floor Dining Room where the Main Bar sits in striking semblance to the hotel's original structure. Across the room a Sushi Lounge, with the capacity to accommodate up to 50 guests for seated dinner, adds an interactive element for a la carte diners or semi-private seatings.

Sprawling, 17 foot, cork-lined ceilings and a bustling South Beach dinner scene greet guests ascending to the Second Floor Dining Room. There, oversized copper drum lamps set an intimate stage, warmly washing patrons in CATCH's trademark honey-colored tones. Hand-painted details on the exposed brick walls create an ambiance like non-other, while Mark Birnbaum assures guests are able to enjoy all the essentials from the CATCH NY menu as well as newer, locally inspired dishes such as Po Little Rich Boys, The Shorecrest Roll, Kampachi Crudo and a conspicuously decadent Key Lime Donut dessert!
