The 'nightclub alternative' is latest operation from EMM Group, owners of Catch and Abe & Arthur's

Have you ever been to a place where you'd be able to get great pastries, a delicious lunch and also be able to come back for a cocktail a little later on if your heart so desired? Well, if you're in the Bowery area now you can! EMM Group and Mark Birnbaum's most recent opening of The General is a modern mecca in the heart of Bowery.  

With Top Chef Season 3 winner, Executive Chef Hung Huynh, at the helm, EMM Group's The General is quickly living up to the high expectations of neighborhood patrons. Open 7 days a week, The General is a bustling modern Asian mecca offering a wide range of dining experiences for the local clientele. 

Here's an excerpt of what the Daily News had to say:
"A restaurant powerhouse has brought a new type of adult entertaining to the Bowery.
The General, the latest eatery from the dining wizards at EMM Group, is home to a new kind of laid-back nightlife — restaurant, cocktail lounge and bakery all in one.
The General builds on the acclaim and popularity of EMM’s other restaurants, Catch and Abe & Arthur’s, by adding a modern Asian twist to the same highly effective concept: fun, sharable small plates."
Accepting reservations and accommodating the casual passersby in the first come, first serve Cafe, The General boasts a bounty of something-for-everyone spaces. With environments ranging from the seasonal outdoor patio to the Cafe, pastry counter, social hightop tables nestled around the bar and the elegantly energetic dining room, it's always worth seeing who knows your name at The General.
