"Philadelphia restaurateur Michael Schulson opens Double Knot tomorrow, Wednesday, February 18, at 1251 Avenue of the Americas at West 50th Street; it's the first New York location of the Philadelphia restaurant that originally opened in 2016. The sprawling new space brings a 12,000-square-foot, bi-level izakaya to a Midtown corner across from Rockefeller Center that's been trying to reinvent itself for at least five years."
""I was born in New York," he says, then went to the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, graduated, and worked at the Waldorf Astoria, Park Avenue Cafe, and Peacock Alley. Then he moved to Philadelphia, eventually helping Starr by developing the opening menu at Buddakan, the clubstaurant that opened in the Meatpacking District in 2006. He returned to Philadelphia, where he eventually opened over a dozen restaurants in that city and beyond, including Double Knot in 2016 and Dear Daphni in 2024."
Michael Schulson opens Double Knot on Wednesday, February 18 at 1251 Avenue of the Americas at West 50th Street. The venue is a 12,000-square-foot, bi-level izakaya located across from Rockefeller Center. The New York location is the first for the Philadelphia restaurant founded in 2016 and represents a more sophisticated, 'grown-up' version of the concept. Schulson trained at the Culinary Institute of America and worked at the Waldorf Astoria, Park Avenue Cafe, and Peacock Alley before moving to Philadelphia. The project follows expansions by other Philadelphia restaurateurs into Manhattan and reflects Schulson's evolution as an operator.
