L’Avenue Restaurant in Saks Flagship

Saks Fifth Avenue (New York) has announced it is incorporating a L’Avenue (Paris) restaurant into the remodel of its 1924 flagship in New York.

The restaurant’s design is inspired by its Paris location and is part of a three-year redevelopment the store is undertaking, which is expected to be completed by mid-2018.

The restaurant will have various locations throughout the store, including the building’s terrace overlooking Rockefeller Center, which has never been open to the public before.

Saks Fifth Avenue President Marc Metrick said in a press release, “Today, as we reimagine and redevelop our renowned New York City flagship, we are returning to our heritage of giving our customer unparalleled experiences that place Saks at the intersection of fashion and culture. Bringing Parisian legend L'Avenue to our flagship furthers our mission to make Saks the hero again.”
