About the Property

Situated at the corner of Lexington Avenue and 30th Street, this fully built-out restaurant space offers a rare opportunity in one of Manhattan’s most active dining corridors. Previously home to the well-known “Penelope,” the property is a second-generation vented restaurant with a newly installed gas line, making it ideal for operators seeking a turnkey setup. The space includes a full basement with a prep area and a dedicated outdoor staircase for loading and deliveries, ensuring efficient operations. The property’s corner location provides excellent visibility and strong foot traffic, supported by its proximity to major transportation options, including the RW and 6 subway lines. With the potential for outdoor seating, this space is well-positioned to attract both local residents and office workers in the surrounding neighborhood. This is an outstanding opportunity for restaurateurs looking to establish or expand their presence in a high-demand Manhattan location.
