Twenty years ago when the world was concerned with a malicious millennium bug called Y2k and Europe was preparing for the launch of the Euro, as SpongeBob Squarepants hit the airwaves and MySpace introduced itself to the internet, a fledgling PR think tank took residence on a wayward side street in Soho. Through old-fashioned elbow grease, a Sam Spade-dectective-style agency was born in a rented kitchen with nothing more than a telephone and a fax machine

​"In 1999 I started WORKHOUSE in a decrepit, rented kitchen of a Soho film outfit. Why did I kickstart a business? Desperation. Laid off in the middle of the economic depression of the late 1990's, jobs of any kind were scarce. I had $196 in the bank and frankly nowhere to go. My original vision was simple: I just wanted to eat everyday. I gathered a group of students, layabouts, waiters and interns to slowly build a PR agency from the ground up. The agency's namesake celebrated a history of builders who, once upon a time, went to produce honest labor. Over the years we have distinguished ourselves with successful representation of personalities like The Rolling Stone's Ronnie Wood, photographer David LaChapelle, Francis Ford Coppola and brands Virgin, CBGB, Interview Magazine, Soho House and Porsche. This year, Workhouse received the New York Small Business Excellence Award and Clutch recognized us as both a Global Leader and a member of their inaugural Clutch 1000  honoring the agency as one of New York's top marketing firms. As Workhouse celebrates its 20th anniversary, there is no greater heartbeat than recognition. We are forever grateful to our clients, staff and associates who believed small could make stardust." - Adam Nelson, Founder & CEO WORKHOUSE

We recognize that our work would not have been possible without the city that has sheltered us. Today, more than ever, the soul of New York is getting mugged by rising rents, suburbanization, rampant development, and a flood of chain businesses. Hyper-gentrification is destroying the cultural fabric of New York and City Hall is doing nothing to stop it. #SAVENYC (SaveNYC.Nyc) is a call to action that gathers the voices of everyday New Yorkers, celebrities, small business people, tourists —all who care about protecting the cultural fabric of the city — to send a strong message to City Hall: Save New York! Cultivated, hyper-gentrification in New York was implemented via strategically planned mass rezonings, eminent domain, and billions in tax breaks to large corporations. This has led to the ongoing eviction of countless small businesses, destroying the fabric of our streets and putting the city’s soul on life support. To save it, we need politicians, activists, and citizens to get tough and protect the city’s cultural heritage so we don’t lose anymore like CBGB’s, Cafe Edison, Colony Records, Florent, Lenox Lounge, 5Pointz, and many, many others. In celebration of our Vicennial, we ask you to join the #SaveNYC campaign and submit first-person video testimonials and stories to tell New York and its leaders why the cultural heritage of the city matters, and why it needs protecting – before it’s too late.

The Essential Guide to the World’s Most Scrumptious Culinary Events in December​
From unique dining experiences to meals prepared by some of the nation’s best chefs, you’ll find plenty of holiday cheer in December. ​BY JOHN LYON ON NOVEMBER 30, 2018

Most of our holiday dining memories are formed around a table with loads of family. But let’s be honest: for all of the soft-glow, cheery memories, there’s always another one of a Christmas blowup. So take control of your December this year and forge some new winter culinary memories with meals from some of the best chefs in the United States.

Once Upon a Kitchen | December 5 
​Get your month of culinary adventure started off on the right foot with a multicourse meal prepared by four of the country’s top chefs. At Gotham Hall in New York, Massimo Bottura, Joan Roca, and Mauro Colagreco will create a memorable meal consisting of signature dishes from their restaurants—a pretty impressive lineup considering their restaurants are ranked No. 1, 2, and 3 on the 50 Best Restaurants List of 2018, respectively. Dessert will be prepared by chef Christina Tosi, the two-time James Beard award winner who runs Milk Bar, will create a unique sweet treat just for the event.
​
Seating options come in three tiers ($1,500 to $5,000), silver, gold, and platinum—with higher ranking tiers netting you better seating positions and extras like a meet and greet with the chefs. Proceeds from the event benefit God’s Love We Deliver, which provides meals to those unable to shop or cook for themselves.
