From a corner juicer bar to a sprawling full-service restaurant spanning half a block.
In the heart of Nolita, an exciting transformation is underway as The Butcher’s Daughter, a popular vegan-friendly spot, spreads its roots deeper into the neighborhood. From a modest corner juicer bar to a sprawling full-service restaurant, the evolution marks a significant milestone in the brand’s journey.
Expanding to over 1,650 square feet, The Butcher’s Daughter now boasts a seating capacity for 85 guests across two spacious areas, accompanied by an additional 80 seats on the sidewalk cafe. This expansion, stretching half a block on Kenmare between Elizabeth & Bowery, introduces enticing features including a full cocktail bar, a Woodstone pizza oven, and inviting accordion doors that seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor dining.
Creating a Space for Community and Connection
Heather Tierney, the visionary founder and creative director, reflects on the brand’s remarkable journey, sharing, “This opening feels very momentous and full circle, especially on the heels of our 11th anniversary. To think this all started with a small juice bar a decade ago and to now be expanding to a full-scale restaurant, bar, and market feels like a homecoming. My hope with this expansion is to create a living room for the neighborhood where it feels like a welcoming all-day hang—where people can come get their morning coffee, do work and have meetings, which may lead into a happy hour cocktail and meeting friends for dinner. Really this expansion is going back to our roots of creating a place of community and connection.”
Curated by Tierney and design firm Wanderlust, the space showcases the craftsmanship of women artisans worldwide. From glimmering brass bars to custom textiles, each element reflects a rebellious spirit, creating an inviting atmosphere for guests.
