\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tribecan Austin Johnson, who opened One White Street<\/a> in 2021, has a new project coming this fall called H. Valley<\/a> \u2014 a grocer (and then some) providing produce grown throughout the Hudson Valley along with Irving Farm coffee, house-made pastries and bread, wine and a curated selection of dog food and treats \u2014 and a lot more. The H is for Hudson; the location is Hudson Street and 11th.<\/p>\n

He plans to man his omelette (using the French spelling just for him) station outside on most nice-weathered weekends; he inherited a full liquor license from the previous restaurant and will have a lager on tap, a wine cellar and batch cocktails in the freezer; and he will have a farmers market outside on Fridays. It\u2019s Rigor Hill Market<\/a>, he said, only better.<\/p>\n

\u201cI created Rigor Hill out of my own brain cells so it\u2019s hard to go too far off that script, but it\u2019s a much bigger space with a better kitchen on a beautiful northwest corner on one of the nicest blocks in the city,\u201d Austin said.<\/p>\n

He looked really hard to stay in Tribeca, but this presented itself \u201cas many good things do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI never once thought about doing another Michelin-starred restaurant,\u201d Austin said. \u201cI loved One White Street but I really really loved running the market \u2014 I liked the interaction, getting up early to get the bread out of the oven, greeting the dogs in the morning \u2014 much more so than working until midnight chasing stars.\u201d<\/p>\n

The space will have seating in the window and a kids\u2019 corner with chalkboards and a fish tank and stuffed veggies. He and his wife, Amanda Reilly, (the couple had baby Lucky last fall) designed the space together.<\/p>\n

The couple still live in Tribeca, as they have since opening One White. And they plan to stay.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a little excited to work outside my neighborhood, but in a bittersweet way. I loved seeing the same 2000 people every day coming in to get their morning coffee. It will be a new 2000 people \u2014 but I still get to raise my family in Tribeca and still walk the piers every day, which is a dram come true.\u201d<\/p>\n

He will source everything \u2014 hops, honey, even foraged produce \u2014 from the Hudson Valley, with his One White collaborator, pastry chef Grayson Claes, providing the pastries, ice creams and croissants. And for those in the know, the space will open up on weekend nights as a little wine bar, with Austin serving from the kitchen. And maybe there\u2019s a second location to come, and maybe it\u2019s down here.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still a Tribeca citizen!\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing stopping me from getting back to Tribeca. This is not my final restaurant. But right now I am focused on getting this just as right as I got Rigor Hill Market, and that much better.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tribecan Austin Johnson, who opened One White Street in 2021, has a new project coming this fall called…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":293068,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-293067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=293067"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293067\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/293068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=293067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=293067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=293067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
