The Redbury Hotel and Cleo Expand to Soho in NYC

Los Angeles has accepted more than enough east coast transplants, Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich at Mozza, Scott Conant with Scarpetta, even Jonathan Waxman has come over to play. Now, it's time to give back. With so many projects on tap at local hospitality firm sbe, including the growth of the SLS hotel to Vegas and Miami, there's still one more newbie property destined for another coast. The recently opened bohemian chic Redbury hotel in Hollywood plus its signature Mediterranean restaurant, Cleo, known for its star-spangled clientele and crispy Brussels sprouts, are destined for Soho in Manhattan. This expansion is quite a ways down the road, but it should be very interesting to see how New Yorkers take to Sam Nazarian and sbe in general. [EaterWire]
