The EMP Summer House Is Returning To East Hampton This Year

As devastated as we still are about the shuttering of Moby's, even we couldn't resist the buzzy spot that took over the space. Last summer, while best-restaurant-in-the-world Eleven Madison Park was undergoing renovations, the team including Chef Daniel Humm and restaurateur Will Guidara partnered up with American Express to open a chic seasonal outpost. The EMP Summer House debuted with a celeb-filled semi-bang, and remained one of the top places to see and be seen through Labor Day. According to AmEx, a seat here became the most-requested reservation in the U.S. through American Express Platinum Concierge. 

Now that the Manhattan staple is back up and running, the fate of the pop-up remained up in the air. This week, however, we received confirmation that it will indeed be returning - in more ways than one.

Yes, you can once again enjoy casual takes on Eleven Madison Park's iconic cuisine after a day at the beach, but later this year it will be all about that après-ski action. The EMP Winter House will be landing in Aspen! Just when we thought we were over the cold, we suddenly can't wait for winter to return.
