The space at 446 Columbus Avenue, formerly The Milling Room for a dozen years, is being taken over by The Group which will open its fifth Boucherie in New York City. The Milling Room was evicted earlier this year for non-payment of rent. Boucherie, which operates restaurants in Manhattan, Chicago, Washington DC and Miami is a traditional French restaurant that celebrates good food and joie de vivre by combining a blend of a steakhousoe and a refined Parisian brasserie. Boucherie will also be taking over the former Starbucks space at 444 Columbus, and combining the two spaces to create a 283 restaurant, one of the largest on the Upper West Side. The space has been a restaurant since at least the 1990’s, when it was Main Street and then Callo Ocho. In addition to Boucherie, The Group also owns and operates Olio e Piu, an Italian trattoria with three locations in Manhattan, and outposts in Chicago and D.C. Bernstein Redo & Savitsky, P.C. assisted Boucherie with its lease and liquor license, and is proud to be part of the Boucherie team.
