Opening its doors the first week of October, Hudson Club is the latest vision from established restaurateur and Hudson Street Hospitality founder Eytan Sugarman. The upscale restaurant and cocktail bar located in midtown pays homage to vintage New York in custom-designed sleek and sophisticated interiors designed and developed by Legeard Studio and Opus Interior. The goal is to offer New York patrons an elegant and elevated cocktail bar and dining experience with a familial and intimate vibe, inclusive of inviting leather booths.

With the kitchen in the hands of acclaimed Executive Chef John DeLucie (previously at Ambra, Paris Café, and Waverly Inn), guests enjoyed New American classics such as pan-seared Atlantic salmon with roasted marble potatoes, New York strip with sautéed broccoli rabe, heirloom potato with caviar and citrus crème fraîche, and Gragnano rigatoni with short rib ragù, along with a beautiful vegan chocolate tart for dessert. John’s cuisine is nothing short of impressive, with 50 Cent even commenting on the delicious food.

During the dinner, guests enjoyed curated cocktails featuring 50 Cent’s own Branson Cognac and Le Chemin du Roi Champagne, including the new sparkling rosé. Cocktails like the ‘21 Questions,’ ‘Branson Manhattan,’ and ‘Hudson Sidecar’ were highlights of the evening, showcasing the Branson Cognac V.S.O.P, Branson Cognac V.S.O.P Royal, and Branson Phantom Cognac. The “Haute French 50” cocktail was also a standout, blending both Branson Cognac and Le Chemin Du Roi Luminous Champagne.

Hudson Club will cater to an elevated clientele, New Yorkers looking for a sophisticated yet fashionable evening, layered with glamor and class, so opening its doors during New York Fashion Week was the perfect pairing.
