As part of 2010, the Whitney commissioned Jeffrey Inaba’s INABA and C-Lab to design a temporary café for the Lower Gallery of the museum. The café design includes a variety of elements: light fixtures, a bar, tables, table tops, and seat cushions, all of different sizes, shapes, and synthetic materials. Operated by restaurateur Danny Meyer’s Hudson Yards Catering, it features sandwiches commissioned from the chefs at Union Square Café (Carmen Quagliata), Gramercy Tavern (Michael Anthony), Tabla (Floyd Cardoz), Eleven Madison Park (Daniel Humm), Blue Smoke (Kenny Callaghan), and Hudson Yards (Robb Garceau), available exclusively at the Whitney only during this installation.
