Raf's, a newly established French-Italian bakery and restaurant in downtown Manhattan, is quickly becoming a favorite among fashion designers and media personalities seeking a low-profile, stylish refuge. Catharine Dahm, a visiting fashion designer from Paris, immediately identified Raf's as her go-to spot due to its Old-World cafe ambiance reminiscent of her hometown. Unlike its more well-known neighbors, Raf's thrives quietly, hosting influential dinner parties and attracting regulars who prefer a subtle environment away from the social media spotlight.
Unlike its buzzy NoHo neighbors Jean's and the private members club Zero Bond, Raf's maintains a substantially lower profile, discreetly establishing itself as a stylish yet unpretentious refuge.
Catharine Dahm, a 32-year-old fashion designer from Paris, declared Raf's as her regular spot in New York, drawn by its cafe-society ambiance and old-world charm.
Despite being surrounded by scene-y restaurants like Estela and Torrisi, Raf's has thrived as a clubroom for the fashion crowd while flying largely under social media's radar.
Last week, Raf's hosted a dinner party celebrating the new ownership of i-D magazine, emphasizing its role as a gathering spot for influential figures in design and media.
