New York Nightlife Guru and Creator MR Patrick Duffy brings you B.E.S “BOUTIQUE EAT SHOP”

New York, NY- New York City-based nightlife guru MR Patrick Duffy has built an unparalleled reputation for producing, promoting and hosting the best events in New York City and abroad, and continues to do so with his latest culinary- art collaboration, B.E.S. “BOUTIQUE EAT SHOP”. With clients ranging from couture fashion houses to legendary rock-stars, art-world impresarios to international dignitaries, Patrick effortlessly blends revellers of all walks of life like no one else: Uptown socialites and downtown denizens, international royalty and LA rockers, Park Avenue Blue Bloods with Southern Decadence, gay and straight -whom he states is, “crucial to making a party not only lively, but legendary.”

Located in the heart of New York’s Gallery District, B.E.S incorporates art into the fabric of the restaurant by way of commissioned installations and partnerships with local galleries. The global cuisine draws flavors and inspiration from the four corners of the world, and is simple yet meticulously curated. The drinks are designed to per- fectly compliment the food and make the entire experience unique and memorable. Overall, B.E.S provides a dining experience like no other. The feeling is instantly com- forting and familiar, like stepping into someone’s home.

Patrick’s ever growing network has guided him to the world of culinary art and is based on the amazing experiences he has drawn from different cultures, the arts, ad- venture and style over the years that translates especially now with the invention of B.E.S “BOUTIQUE EAT SHOP.”

Patrick’s Vision of B.E.S is a “by artist for artist” establishment inspired by several muses, American born pioneer artist Gordon Matta Clark who opened his own restaurant called “Food” in Soho on Prince and Wooster. It was there that artists were in the kitchen cooking and curating delicious meals at the same time. Serpentine, (in conjunction with honey space gallery) a “by artist for artist” nightclub, was started by famed urban artist Andrew Poneros, master wood craftsmen Thomas Beale and Patrick Duffy. The concept for B.E.S was to incorporate art into the fabric or existence of the restaurant rather than just hang “”pretty” pictures on the walls. Most of the contributing artists work or hang out at B.E.S in their spare time. The goal was to create an inspiring environment for creatives and muses alike.

Patrick says, “Working with all the elements of the place, the food, the art, and the music and even performance; I was inspired to create a restaurant that is not like any other venue in the city – A melting pot of people, cultures and flavors, the space itself is designed to be intimate but not overwhelming and definitely inspiring.“

ABOUT THE FOOD AND THE CREATOR OF THE FOOD CHEF CHARLES CHO

Chef Charles Cho was born in Seoul, Korea and came to the US when he was 3. For most of his life he bounced from Japan, Hawaii, Europe, L.A, and now NYC, giving his culinary creations a varied and ethnic flavor to the Italian, Asian, and American fused cuisine. With experience from across the globe, Chef Charles Cho’s culinary expertise seamlessly blended with artistic genius makes B.E.S an experience to be enjoyed again and again. Patrick also created ‘SB’ style dining, which stands for “skinny bitch.” It’s a lower carbohydrate, lower fat option.
Cinq á Sept: (Happy hour 5pm to 7pm) B.E.S also includes a variety of contemporary “home cooking” inspired plates and cocktails. General favourites include the Kumamoto Oysters at $1.50 each, Chips and Salsa, and Fish & Chips. Drinks are even better. Enjoy a Malbec, Pinot Grigio, or a vodka and mixer. All items start at $10 and under.Brunch Early birds can also enjoy exquisite brunches at B.E.S. which specializes in old-fashioned breakfast treats with an edge. For the adventurous sweet tooth we suggest a plate of Lemon Pancakes with whipped honey butter and a side of crispy bacon. Another light and savoury treat is the Egg white omelette with fresh tomato salsa served with truffled toast, ham, Gruyere cheese, and caramelized onions, which gives this traditionally light meal a kick. Patrick suggests The P.B. (Peanut Butter) & Bacon Sandwich, Patrick’s father created this back in the day as the ultimate hangover cure.
