In the rapidly developing, still uncharted territory that is Hudson Yards, Legacy Records looks and feels as if it’s been there for years. Housed inside upscale rental building Henry Hall, Delicious Hospitality’s latest is an all-day neighborhood joint, replete with a coffee shop, two bars, two private dining rooms, and a main dining room. To foster a sense of intimacy in the sprawling, multilevel space, San Francisco designer Ken Fulk created separate, cloistered environments that encourage diners to roam and linger at their own pace.

Though different in palette and vibe, each room is united by natural materials, wood tones, and bold color choices. Upon entering, guests are greeted by a patinated brass top café and a sweeping horseshoe bar paneled in fluted teak. In the dining room, tables are topped in glove-soft cognac leather and accompanied by midcentury-style chairs, while a glossy lacquer green enlivens the ceiling. Upstairs, the jazzy lounge receives a sultry glow with burnt orange paint, grass cloth walls, graphic checkerboard floors, and a coffered ceiling inset with cane, striking a balance between ultra-hip and approachable. “It’s as if this space had existed before, yet it’s also vibrant and new,” says Fulk. “That’s where the magic lies.”

The site’s original use as a recording studio inspired the restaurant’s name, as well as the art. Contemporary works from Mickalene Thomas, Mischa Richter, and Martine Gutierrez nod to music, but the real scene-stealer is artist Chris Lux’s mural, a celebratory interpretation of Marvin Gaye’s I Want You album cover. The artwork depicts revelers dancing, toasting, and making music, which Fulk says encompasses the flavor of the restaurant. “It isn’t just about décor. It’s an outlook, an attitude, a philosophy that has influenced and injected itself into this building.” Adds Delicious Hospitality’s Grant Reynolds: “It’s one cohesive experience of dining and going out.”
