Michael Schwartz's 2007 original seeded the district's food scene and earned a Bib Gourmand in 2026 after a renovation that expanded the 40th Street dining room. His 'In Session' chef series runs here through October 2026.

One of the more approachable stops in the Design District when you want something trendy without going full luxury. Kith is great for off-the-rack pieces, seasonal drops, and those one or two special items that can completely change an outfit. Easy to mix and match, with enough variety to keep it interesting every time you stop in. The store itself also leans into fun, interactive experiences that make it feel like more than just another retail stop.
