About Us
A Hospitality Group Rooted in Manhattan, Inspired by Community
Founded in 2013, Host Restaurants is a Manhattan-based hospitality company known for its diverse portfolio of restaurant and bar concepts across New York City and beyond. From casual neighborhood haunts to white tablecloth dining experiences, Host offers something for every occasion — and every appetite.
Led by Huegel and his partners, Host Restaurants has developed some of the city’s most recognizable and beloved destinations. Each concept is unique in personality and cuisine, yet unified by a shared commitment to quality, design, and genuine hospitality.
Our Concepts
Across our growing portfolio, Host Restaurants is proud to bring thoughtfully crafted spaces and exceptional service to life. Our current family of venues includes:
Avenida | Jackdaw | Sefton | Printers Alley | The Rutherford | Campagnola | Odd Sister | Café Maud | Dear Maud | The Domino Room | The Rhymers Club | Lulu's | Campi | Avalon Beach Club
Each location reflects the unique energy of its neighborhood, while offering a consistent standard of excellence that guests have come to expect from the Host name.
Our Philosophy
At Host, we believe great hospitality is about more than just food and drink — it’s about creating spaces that people return to, moments they remember, and experiences they share.
Whether you're grabbing a cocktail at a bustling bar, enjoying a long lunch at one of our cafés, or celebrating something special over a fine Italian dinner, our goal is simple:
To make you feel at home.
