Kola House
Technically a restaurant, but definitely a scene, the Meatpacking's new Kola House launched during Fashion Week, hosting parties with Cushnie et Ochs and Interview Magazine. The official grand opening came with a surprise performance by LCD Soundsystem, so you know hospitality gurus Eric Marx and Lisle Richards are doing something right. The major names, who also run Kola House's downstairs neighbor, Gilded Lily, have teamed up with Pepsi to create a not-so-branded experience celebrating the flavors of the Kola nut. Cocktail "alchemist" Alex Ott and Executive Chef Jon Feshan round out the team, serving up innovative drinks and farm-to-table cuisine. Sure there are subtle shoutouts to Pepsi, including gilded bottle-shaped decor, but this is hardly a Times Square pop-up you'd be embarrassed to check into. Cool kids only.
