Many of the most elite nightclubs in New York City exist, because of Mark Birnbaum

The EMM group, led by Mark Birnbaum and his partners Eugene Remm and Michael Hirtenstein has garnered many accolades for its contribution to New York’s night life.

Apart from the remarkable successful night clubs in New York City, the EMM group has produced quality restaurants, lounges and hotels throughout New York, Miami and many other hot-spots of the Country. The private house in Long Island is particularly noted in the media for its exclusive events and parties.

Mark used to do promotional work for Manhattan Clubs in Long Island during his teen age years, and soon after that he opened a 22,000 square foot night club of his own.

All this success has made Mark a very popular socialite, and his popularity only keeps on increasing by the day.

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.

Forbes Recognizes The James Royal Palm and Catch Miami

Amongst major expansion plans, Mark Birnbaum, owner of EMM Group, is the most in demand hospitality mogul today. In between launching Revel’s nightclubs, managing nearly a dozen venues and running a lifestyle management company, Mark Birnbaum of EMM Group is working vigorously to launch Catch Miami and SL South without a hitch. Catch and SL are set to open in the James Royal Palm in late 2012.

Catch Miami and SL South are both outposts of their very successful Meatpacking District flagships. EMM Group has experienced great success in New York City, taking their most successful venues to the James Royal Palm in Miami is the next best step for this trio. The James Royal Palm, a beachfront resort in South Beach Miami, has been featured as one of Forbes Magazine’s “Top 10 Most Anticipated Openings of 2012″. The much anticipated resort is expected to be vibrant with different venues for a well-diversified crowd. EMM Group’s Catch, a popular seafood restaurant, appeals to people of all ages, while SL appeals to young and energetic party-goers. In addition, The James Royal Palm will offer two swimming pools with cabanas, poolside bars, lobby lounge and coffee bar, full-service spa, Lil’ James offerings for children, retail shop, a curated collection of art, gym and more.

The contribution of EMM Group’s globally inspired seafood restaurant, Catch, and the trendy lounge, SL, are expected to draw large crowds to the James Royal Palm later this year. Before Mark Birnbaum, Eugene Remm and Michael Hirtenstein formed EMM Group, the hospitality industry had two separate worlds, fine dining and glitzy nightlife. Throughout the past six years, EMM Group has found a way to successfully marry the two. Catch and SL will be neighboring venues in the James Royal Palm, and will once again bridge the gap between fine dining and nightlife. Mark Birnbaum and EMM Group have nothing but successes under their belt and the new Miami venues are sure to follow suit.
