Grupo Gitano, known for its tropical dining experiences, is set to open its U.S. flagship location this winter.
Following summer pop-ups on Governors Island, GITANO NYC will bring its jungle vibes to a permanent home on Pier 17 in New York’s South Street Seaport.

The venue will offer various transportive spaces, each with a distinct aesthetic.
A dramatic, ballroom-like main dining room with 30-foot-tall ceilings will showcase a massive disco ball and hydraulic glass doors that open onto the water. Meanwhile, the second floor will feature an intimate and exclusive club, designed to transport guests to the inside of a disco ball.
GITANO NYC’s design captures the spirit of Tulum with a touch of New York’s cosmopolitan edge.
The venue will be adorned with lush palm trees, leopard-print details, antique brass chandeliers, and intricate rose-colored rope chandeliers created by Mexican artisans. Handcrafted light fixtures and cement tiles will be imported from Mérida, while Zapote wood tables and banquets further ground the space in its Yucatán roots.
“We are thrilled to start an important new chapter in New York with our permanent, year-round home at the Seaport, where we will be able to elevate the guest experience to new levels,” says James Gardner, founder and CEO of Grupo Gitano. “This is a unique and stunning property, perfect for GITANO NYC.”
He adds: We will blend the energy and creativity of New York with the laid-back luxury of the Yucatán, to transport our guests out of the city to our bohemian, tropical paradise that is delicious, glamorous, and fun.”
