T H A L A S S A restaurant NEW YORK
Thalassa Restaurant makes its home in an historic building
located at 179 Franklin Street, New York City (212) 941-7661;
in the heart of Tribeca. For decades fine Greek olives and
cheeses were warehoused in this now ultra-chic location.
Architect Designer Jean Pierre HEIM recreates the memories of
his luxurious travels through the Greek islands in Thalassa’s
décor.
Your journey through Thalassa begins with a long, curving
mosaic bar constructed from marble from the island of Thasos.
From the moment you enter the bar and lounge area you realize
that the word “Thalassa” in Greek means the sea. Blue lighting
and elegant sails suggest that you are sailing the Greek
Islands. Flowing curtains over original exposed brick remind
you of the sandy shores of warm beaches. Urns from Tripoli
once used to store olives and olive oil ages ago now overflow
with fresh flowers as they sit atop hand-made Iroko wooden
tables from Mykonos. |
