Daniel Humm Opens a Personal Restaurant in Manhattan
Chef Daniel Humm has opened Humm, his first standalone Manhattan restaurant, on 10 October. The interior features 1980s-inspired design by Pierre Yovanovitch and a 1,200-square-foot ceiling fresco by Francesco Clemente. The project took nearly two years and reflects Humm’s friendships and personal history.
Daniel Humm's new Manhattan restaurant, Humm, opens 10 October in the former EN Japanese Brasserie space on Hudson Street. It is his first standalone New York City restaurant. The nearly two-year project includes a 1,200-square-foot ceiling fresco by Francesco Clemente, who spent two months painting stars, animals, trains and clocks.
Designer Pierre Yovanovitch shaped the interiors with 1980s references, his first New York restaurant. A red textured sculpture by Rashid Johnson greets guests, while a large tiled oven and open kitchen reveal a wood fire. Humm describes the project as deeply personal, built with friends including Clemente and Yovanovitch.

Humm's debut could intensify dining interest along Hudson Street, drawing reservations, tourists and design-minded visitors. Nearby restaurants and bars may see spillover, while hospitality staff could benefit from added demand. The artist-chef collaboration may also encourage more high-profile restaurant interiors, influencing how diners experience art, craft and celebrity dining. Its impact remains uncertain, but it may reinforce Manhattan's role as a stage for immersive, personality-driven hospitality.
