Steak with a Side of Schnabel

It’s only April and we’ve already found the perfect venue for the UnBeige Holiday Party! As part of its recent $1.5 million renovation led by architect Glen Coben, New York City’s venerable Old Homestead steakhouse has converted a closet into the Schnabel Room (pictured above), a private dining space hung with framed black-and-white photographs by artist and filmmaker Julian Schnabel. The Schnabel vibe is heightened by one of the room’s walls, the former brick exterior of the 137-year-old restaurant, which is left exposed and emblazoned with words like PRIME and BEEF in a slightly shaky hand reminiscient of that of the artist.
