Celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson has opened new restaurant
in Weehawken, NJ.
The Red Rooster founder will open Marcus at NoHu Rooftop, a rooftop
bar and restaurant at the EnVue, Autograph Collection hotel on the Weehawken
waterfront.
The 15,000 s/f roof deck will have Manhattan skyline views from the hotel that is part of the 200 acre Port Imperial development created by Mack-Cali subsidiary, Roseland Residential Trust around the NY Waterway ferry terminal.
Roseland is currently developing two new luxury residential
projects that are set to open at Port Imperial in early 2021 — RiverHouse 9, a
313-unit building in Weehawken, and The Capstone, a 360-unit building in West
New York.
Marcus at NoHu offers a menu of seasonally-inspired dishes
and a hand-crafted selection of refreshing cocktails, wine, and beer.
Chef Samuelsson is the acclaimed chef, cookbook author, TV
personality, philanthropist and food activist behind iconic restaurants Red
Rooster Harlem in New York City and Marcus B+P in Newark. He has won multiple
James Beard Foundation awards for his work as a chef and as host of PBS’s No
Passport Required. Samuelsson was crowned champion of Top Chef Masters and
Chopped All Stars and was the guest chef for President Obama’s first state
dinner.
“The people in and around the Port Imperial community are
craving new and exciting things to safely enjoy with their loved ones,” said
Matthes Metz, General Manager, EnVue. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to team up
with the powerhouse Chef Marcus Samuelsson to bring our community an amazing
new dining offering during this difficult time period.”
MaryAnne Gilmartin, Board Chair and Interim Chief Executive
Officer of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, said, “Our Port Imperial offerings
provide more space, state-of-the-art amenity packages, incredible views of both
the Hudson River and the Manhattan skyline, and now, signature culinary
experiences,” she explained.
“When combined with the region’s affordability and
convenient transit access for cross-river commuters, Port Imperial is uniquely
positioned to meet the demand for the urban-suburban conveniences and lifestyle
that renters and hotel guests have been seeking for decades.”
NoHu is open every day of the week, for dining, drinks, and weekend brunch.
