The elNico Story
elNico opened atop the Penny Williamsburg with a singular vision: to blend vibrant Latin American traditions with forward-looking cooking from international chef Fernanda Serrano, whose career includes time in some of the world’s most respected kitchens. elNico playfully explores the global reach of contemporary Mexican cuisine – all while celebrating its stunning rooftop location.
The beverage program, led by acclaimed mixologist Leo Robitschek and Peruvian native bar director Cristhian Rodriguez, centers on agave-based cocktails, rounding out an elevated and sophisticated culinary experience that still remembers to have fun. Surrounded by sculpture, light and color, diners at elNico can rise above the city’s daily trials to enjoy the high life.
