Talking with Joy Pierson and Bart Potenza at Candle 79 Restaurant in Manhattan
In 2003, Candle 79 was born. This two-story upscale dining experience incorporated the famed organic plant-based cuisine in a formal setting featuring organic wine and full eco bar for the conscientious yet sophisticated eater. Candle 79 has twice been rated as Zagat’s #1 vegetarian restaurant, with a local and international reputation that has a regular clientele that includes neighborhood residents, celebrities, politicians, and corporate executives from around the world.
We learned that Candle 79 would close on 12/31/2019. The entire corner where the restaurant is located was sold by the landlord to a real estate developer, 5 lots in total. It’s all being knocked down to be replaced with a luxury condo building. This is something that Manhattan does not need more of at the moment. We were so sad to lose this beautiful space, always filled with love and delicious food. All three Candle restaurants (Candle Cafe, Candle West and Candle 79) ultimately closed. Fortunately, the Candle chefs Angel and Jorge opened a new Candle on 28 Street at 3rd Avenue in Manhattan in 2020.
