A long desolate storefront on the Upper West Side received much-needed love and attention when Restauranteur Greg Hunt set out to open Cafe Tallulah – a bi-level 3,000 sq ft French bistro and cocktail lounge. Over 10 months and through the vision of Gene Kaufman Architect, OTL transformed the space into a restaurant that is never reviewed without mention of its atmosphere.
The Details
A 50-ft zinc bar, lauded as the longest in Manhattan
Tin ceilings and exposed brick perpetuate an authentic vibe
Steel back bar at the main bar modeled after the steel work in Penn Station
Custom wood work, antique mirrors, and beams in cellar wrapped with mushroom wood
Upgraded entire sewer system under the building and connect to the street

Gene Kaufman Architect
“...handsomely evocative restaurant, bar and lounge.”
“Cafe Tallulah channels a sexy, je ne sais quoi style with low-lighting, lots of exposed brick and opulent touches like velvet curtains and vintage chandeliers. ”
“...gigantic zinc bar that Balthazar will probably try to steal.”
