Sweet Emily's Your neighborhood restaurant for American comfort food with Latin influence.<pNew York, NY (March 2009) - Every neighborhood hopes to have welcoming, consumer friendly restaurants with good quality food, and every restaurateur wishes to be that place. Lucky for Hell's Kitchen residents. Owners Vincent Purdy and Emily Orr have opened Sweet Emily's (321 West 51st Street, between 8th and 9th Avenue, New York, NY 10019; 212.957.9338; www.sweetemilysnyc.com, a new unpretentious restaurant offering American Comfort food with a Latin twist. Taking over the space that formerly was the classic French restaurant, Rene Pujol, Sweet Emily's sets out to be a local destination with neighborhood prices, and a mainstay in Midtown West. The ambience at Sweet Emily's is simple and relaxed, with soft green velvet walls, dark wood paneling and maroon carpeted floors. As one enters the space, winch seats approximately 60 people, including the bar area, the are transported from the streets of New York to the comfort of a family-run restaurant. Large vintage sofas, along with several high bar tables, surrounded the wood bar that seats 8 stools. In the back of the restaurant, soft lighting emits the two-top tables, which can easily be combined to create larger settings for groups. Sweet Emily's design can be credited to Wayne Best (Negril.
