ELM was born to bring people together in New York’s quintessential neighborhood – but our story begins far before our inception. While we opened our doors as a hospitality company in 2023, the roots of our space are embedded into the city’s rich history, spanning over generations. 

Starting as a factory at the turn of the century to serving as home to New York City’s now lost neighborhood, Gasoline Alley, our white worn brick walls and charismatic wood floors are true marks of history. In fact, we like to think of them as proof that life happened here.

As a nod to the magic that came before us, our name pays homage to the original title of iconic the Lafayette Street – Elm Street. 

In an effort to accommodate New York’s ever expanding transportation demands, city planners proposed an extension and widening of Elm Street that would have it continue north to Lafayette Place. The project began as early as 1880 and didn’t reach completion until 1905, when it was officially deemed Lafayette Street. 

The transformation marked a new beginning for the neighborhood, and it’s our hope that ELM will continue to elevate the lives of every guest it encounters. 

Our top-tier hospitality team, culinary experts, technology and functional architecture can transform any vision into reality.
