A Lower East Side cocktail destination translating familiar dishes into drinks through culinary technique, playful associations and a designer's attention to presentation.
The Story
Origin
Following a traveling cocktail project, GN Chan and Faye Chen established a permanent Lower East Side home in 2020.
Philosophy
Recognizable food memories are dismantled and reconstructed as cocktails, making experimentation approachable through familiar references.
Why Important
Double Chicken Please demonstrates how product design, food culture and advanced cocktail technique can form a coherent hospitality identity.
Differentiation
Its culinary cocktail language is integral to the concept rather than an occasional menu theme.
Food Philosophy
Chicken sandwiches give the venue an accessible food identity alongside its more conceptual drinks.
Guest Experience
The visit combines an informal food offering with cocktails whose names and flavors invite guests to reconsider familiar dishes.
Design Philosophy
Contrasting spaces accommodate different styles of drinking within one address.
Design & Architecture
Lighting
Lighting varies between the separate drinking spaces.
Architecture
A storefront venue arranged into distinct front and rear spaces.
Design Language
Playful contemporary design with contrasting room identities.
Interior Design
The spatial sequence shifts the mood between casual sociability and a more composed cocktail experience.
Graphic Identity
An irreverent name and food-referencing drink titles give the brand a memorable editorial voice.
