Founded by musicians and creatives Zach Schepis and Jorge Guarch, Umbra is a true Bushwick jewel. The neighborhood quickly became enraptured not only by the versatile space (one that supports local businesses and artists including musicians, coffee roasters, vineyards, breweries, and chefs) but also by the delectable fare and dreamy drinks program.
A constantly shifting & hyper-seasonal menu is crafted by Head Chef Andrew Carlini, who takes nostalgic romps through his memories and reimagines them with an elevated twist. Each dish reflects a balance of comfort and creativity, rooted in personal experience while pushing culinary boundaries.
The menu evolves with surprises from week to week, and even night to night, as Carlini designs each plate using the freshest ingredients sourced that very same day. This approach ensures that no two visits to Umbra are ever quite the same.
A space by artists, for artists, Umbra is a place for creatives to come together and cross-pollinate across mediums and divides. By day, it operates as a café and music shop serving the local community, and by night, it transforms into an epicurean paradise where the boundaries between food, mixology, and live music dissolve and anything can happen.
Cue Midnight Heat, a New Year’s Eve like no other from the creators of Carmen: To Havana & Back, hailed as “a feast for the senses” and “New York’s hottest immersive show” by Forbes. For one night only, this limited-audience celebration features the original Carmen Band, pop-up performances, circulating bites, an open bar, champagne, dancing, and then some.
Inspired by the legendary Latin supper clubs of Havana and New York, the evening unfolds in two chapters, offering either a dinner & party experience or an open bar party experience, each including live music from Ariacne Trujillo’s Carmen Quintet, a live DJ, passed food, and a midnight Champagne toast.
Get ready, because an immersive night where music, movement, and celebration keep everyone on their feet is in store...
