DETROIT (WXYZ) — An acclaimed restaurateur and chef from New York City will open a new restaurant in Downtown Detroit next year.
Union Square Hospitality Group (USHG) announced that the restaurant from Danny Meyer will open inside the Hudson's Detroit building.
The group was founded in 1985 with the opening of its flagship restaurant, Union Square Cafe, and has since expanded to a collection of restaurants that have earned 28 James Beard Awards.
“Detroit is brimming with culture, creativity, and pride,"Meyer said in a statement. “Expanding here – and joining such a dynamic neighborhood – gives us the opportunity to grow and innovate alongside a city that’s constantly in motion. As a proud native Midwesterner, I couldn’t be more excited to plant our flag in Detroit.”
“Bringing USHG to Detroit reflects our deliberate, value-driven approach to growth,” USHG CEO Chip Wade added. “This opening, and our partnership with Bedrock, represents more than just a new restaurant; it’s an opportunity to invest in and contribute to a great American city.”
