Our first New York event was with the furbulous folk at Frankie Eats JC. Situated in the heart of Jersey City, Frankie's is the dream turned reality of hospitality and design duo and dog-lovers, Rowen and Rebecca. We first met this talented couple in our London store and after seeing pictures of their fresh and tropical looking restaurant we knew we had to do something together. Frankie is built upon Rowen and Rebecca's love of travel, coastal destinations, and a nod to Rowen's home, Sydney Australia. Named after a chihuahua with a big personality whose reputation precedes her people, we could definitely identify with these two entrepreneurs!
Designed by Rebecca (above right), the decor is an elegant mix of colonial cane furniture, tropical prints and exotic plants. The menu offers delicious natural wines and some of the best food we have ever tasted, vegan dumplings, homemade humous and stuffed courgette flowers were all favourites.
We had a wonderful time meeting all the Jersey City dogs who came down to support us at our first NYC pup-up! The event also raised vital funds for the Liberty Humane Society.
