One White Street

Where Michelin Stars Meet Tribeca Charm

Nestled in a historic Tribeca townhouse, One White Street brings world-class dining to the cobblestone streets of downtown Manhattan. This isn't just another restaurant—it's a testament to what happens when exceptional talent meets thoughtful hospitality.

The Michelin-Starred Story

One White Street earned its Michelin star in 2024, a remarkable achievement that speaks to the restaurant's commitment to excellence. Chef Austin Johnson, an alum of Eleven Madison Square and Frenchie in Paris, has created something special here—a globally inspired menu that never loses sight of its neighborhood roots.

The restaurant's name carries the weight of rock music history. Their address was once the subject of a press conference where a British musician announced the creation of a conceptual country—one devoid of land or boundaries, and welcome to everyone. This philosophy of openness and acceptance runs through everything they do.

The Farm-to-Table Foundation

What sets One White Street apart isn't just technique—it's sourcing. Their evolving menu is predominantly informed by exceptional ingredients organically grown and sourced year-round from Rigor Hill Farm in Columbia County, New York. This isn't just farm-to-table; it's a relationship that creates a significantly more sustainable approach to fine dining.

The Infatuation notes that "all the food at this upscale farm-to-table restaurant in Tribeca is pretty to look at, and not one dish misses the mark in terms of execution"—praise that speaks to the consistency of their approach.

The Catering Excellence

One White Street's unique restaurant layout with three floors of dining allows for a variety of options for private events, from more casual cocktail parties to formal tasting menu experiences. This flexibility means they can scale their Michelin-starred approach to fit intimate gatherings or larger celebrations.

What makes their catering distinctive:

  • Eight-course chef's tasting menu that showcases seasonal ingredients
  • Wine program curated by an expert sommelier
  • Three distinct floors offering different atmospheres
  • Globally inspired cuisine rooted in local sourcing

The Tribeca Advantage

Rooted in a decades-long love story of a legendary rock couple, One White Street's founding premise of openness and acceptance lives on through exceptional ingredients. This philosophy translates into catering that feels less like formal service and more like being welcomed into someone's beautifully appointed home.

Their approach to cooking is reflective of food they want to eat every day, informed by their own unique experiences. It's this personal touch that makes their catering feel authentic rather than performative.

Beyond the Plate

The restaurant's commitment to excellence extends beyond the kitchen. The Infatuation observes that "the decor is what you'll probably remember the most"—a testament to how they think about the complete dining experience.

For private events, this attention to atmosphere means every detail serves the larger story of bringing people together. Whether it's a corporate dinner that needs to impress or an intimate celebration that deserves special treatment, One White Street understands that exceptional catering is about creating conditions for meaningful moments.

The One White Street difference:

  • Michelin-starred execution with neighborhood warmth
  • Sustainable sourcing that tells a story
  • Flexible spaces that adapt to your vision
  • A philosophy of hospitality that puts people first

When you choose One White Street for catering, you're not just hiring a restaurant—you're partnering with a team that understands food is only as good as the memories it helps create.
