Hospitality Design - April 2023 - 101

We have diff erent personalities and specialties, but
we're like-minded and share the same values and
goals for Authentic Hospitality.
Matt Kliegman and Carlos: What did you
want to create with the Smile, the fi rst
restaurant you opened together in 2009
and closed in 2020?
MK: We wanted the Smile to feel like a clubhouse
retreat, away from the hustle of New York, down
a few steps, a stone's throw from the high streets
of Bowery and Lafayett e [in the space that now
houses Jac's on Bond]. The building was built in
1830-the oldest in the neighborhood-and that
age evokes such warmth.

Pebble Bar's third floor

exposed stone at Jac's on Bond
You recently opened Pebble Bar in a
townhouse on West 49th Street in Midtown
Manhattan. Was its location ever a
deterrent?
CQ: The location was a deterrent in that we were
unfamiliar, and was not a deterrent in that it was
an undeniably beautiful space on one of the most
iconic streets and locations in the city. The only
thing was lack of neighborhood familiarity. Luckily,
we brought in partners who know it super well.
What did you ask Gachot Studios to create
there?
MK: John and Christine [Gachot] are good friends.
We wanted the space to feel residential and
intimate, boast diff erent vibes on the diff erent
fl oors, and be beautiful and timeless.
What's the best advice you've received?
MC: Slow down. I am high energy and am always
pushing to do more and make things bett er.
The quirky mezzanine level at the
now-shuttered Jane Ballroom
Bar Calico, inside the Freehand New York hotel, takes inspiration
from Georgia O'Keeffe's landscapes of the Southwest
CQ: Sean MacPherson shared what he thinks is
important. It was 'the people you're with, the room
you're in, and then everything else.' You want it
to be about the off erings, but at the end of the day,
it's the people you're surrounding yourself with
and the crowd you att ract. All we can do is create
an atmosphere that pushes the guests to enjoy
themselves, but ultimately, it's on them and the
people they're accompanied by. This is not so much
a piece of advice but something to keep in mind,
which makes my endeavors less stressful.
How has the business changed?
MC:There's been a lot of positive changes. More
work-life balance for our team. But it is nightlife,
and hospitality is a demanding career.
CQ: The things that changed needed to. Like any
business that changes, we adapt and it ends up
being for the bett er. hd
