For the uninitiated, Anthony Ha and Sadie Mae Burns spent years running Ha's Đặc Biệt, a Vietnamese pop-up that ricocheted across New York City and beyond. During the pandemic, their egg-scallion bánh mì and cabbage rolls stuffed with pork shank developed something close to cult status. They even staged a Paris residency before the New York Times (and just about everyone else) started singing their praises. But the dream was always a permanent home.
According to police sources, the attack took place on Orchard Street between Hester and Grand Streets at 1 a.m. on Sept. 14. Officers from the 7th Precinct responded to reports of an assault. Upon arriving at the scene, they found a 30-year-old man with a stab wound to the neck. Police described the injury as a puncture wound. EMS rushed the victim to Bellevue Hospital, where he is listed in stable condition.
We hope to create a new kind of cultural and social space-one designed to support the complexity and ambition of art rich with moving imagery, music and sound, while also rethinking how audiences engage with it.
