With roots dating back to 2014 in Tulum, Grupo Gitano (https://grupogitano.com) is traveling the world, on a mission to wow and delight patrons. “Gitano”, which translates from Spanish to “gypsy”, brings the Tulum jungle to Hudson Square with palm trees and open fire Mexican fare.

The ambiance is set to gypsy-disco Gitano music and the design concept is nomadic tropical minimalism with a primary dining bar covered by a custom Bedouin tent. There are also two banquette-lined dining decks and an uncovered outer lounge with marble cocktail tables.
Executive Chef and Partner Yvan Lemoine’s food is cooked on open fire and the menu is designed for a shared dining experience. Snacks range from guacamole to zucchini blossom quesadillas. Small plates favorites are the ceviche, the pork belly carnitas tacos and the grilled avocado. Large plates consist of items like carne asada and fire roasted organic chicken. A grab-and-go café, G Café, will also serve diners at the front of the property.
Gitano NYC will be open through fall 2018, when the group will pack up the tent to seek a new, warmer location.
