St. JOHN in New York

Make room in your diaries, hearts and appetites: we are coming to New York. On March 6th at 7pm The St. JOHN Drake's Diner will appear for one glorious night as we take over Brooklyn's iconic Long Island Bar. We invite you to join us. 

Fergus’ central philosophy has always rested on Genius Loci - a spirit of place, a magic of locality. What could capture that magic more than the fantasy of a St. JOHN Diner, with a menu drawn from St. JOHN classics reimagined for the spirit of New York, in a beautifully preserved 1930s bar which speaks so perfectly of the city’s own heritage.

Tickets include all courses and welcome drink, taxes and service. Our very own St. JOHN wines, imported especially for the occasion, will be available by the bottle or the glass on the night. Tickets are purchased individually or by the booth - each of the five classic diner booths seats one party of four. If you purchase your ticket individually, please let us know the names of the other members of your party so that you can be seated together. 

THE MENU

We start with a minerally and exquisitely cold martini, designed for the occasion with Ford’s Gin by Long Island Bar’s owner, legendary barman Toby Cecchini (creator of the era-defining Cosmopolitan). We finish with the Long Island Bar Pecan Pie, lifted with quintessentially St. JOHN clouds of Vieille Prune-infused cream. And in between, course after course of delight - Baked Clams with a wink to our beloved Bone Marrow, Rarebit bubbling atop blushing lobsters, crisp ingots of Skate Cheek to dip into powerful aioli, trotter-braised beans which cheekily express Fergus’ love of both cowboys and offal, and more more more. 

The event is a celebration of friendship between St. JOHN and Drake's; two cult British brands whose East London birthplace defines their heritage, vision and passion for the good things in life: long lunches, good drinks, long nights, good tailoring. It is that joint vision and those good things which you will find, for one night only, in our fleeting New York home.
