Drawing from a rich history and a vision for the future, the design team reimagined Runway 84 as a vibrant fusion of contemporary elegance and vintage charm. Stepping into the restaurant, guests are immediately enveloped in an atmosphere that blends the sophistication of a modern dining establishment with the nostalgic allure of a bygone era. The new design concept incorporates sleek, minimalist lines juxtaposed with opulent, art deco-inspired accents. A palette of deep emerald, soft gold, and rich burgundy sets the tone, while polished brass fixtures and custom-designed crystal chandeliers add a touch of glamour. The ceiling, adorned with intricate geometric patterns, creates a visual centerpiece that draws the eye upward. Custom furniture pieces, including plush velvet banquettes and stylish, high-backed chairs, provide both comfort and aesthetic appeal. The seating arrangements are versatile, accommodating everything from intimate dinners to large family gatherings. The "gangster booth" seating evokes a sense of exclusivity and nostalgia, reminiscent of the private enclaves of classic supper clubs. One of the standout features is the dramatic "Wall of Fame," a dynamic display of photographs and memorabilia celebrating the storied past of Runway 84 and its illustrious patrons. This homage to the restaurant's history adds a personal touch, connecting the past with the present. The dining experience extends beyond the main indoor space to include an inviting outdoor patio, perfect for al fresco dining. The patio is designed with lush greenery, ambient lighting, and comfortable seating, creating a serene oasis in the heart of the city. The bar area is a showstopper, featuring a sleek marble countertop, illuminated shelving showcasing an impressive array of spirits, and cozy bar stools that invite guests to linger and enjoy crafted cocktails. An intimate circular mini lounge adjacent to the bar offers a cozy retreat for pre-dinner drinks or late-night conversations. Runway 84 also boasts a private dining room, elegantly appointed with bespoke furnishings and state-of-the-art amenities, ideal for special occasions and exclusive gatherings. With seating for 190 guests both indoors and outdoors, Runway 84 seamlessly blends innovation and tradition. The design team aimed to create a space that is not only visually stunning but also warm and inviting, making every visit a memorable experience. The result is a harmonious blend of past and present, offering a fresh take on the classic dining experience.
