Avra to Open 20K-SF Restaurant Above Penn Station 

Vornado announced that The Avra Group will open Avra Estiatorio, a Mediterranean restaurant, in THE PENN DISTRICT above Penn Station. Located at 390 Ninth Avenue, the restaurant will include a 150-seat outdoor café and be part of the district’s food and beverage offerings.  

This marks The Avra Group’s fourth NYC restaurant and will feature 14,000 square feet of indoor dining, 6,000 square feet of outdoor space, and private dining rooms. Adjacent to Meta’s campus at the Farley Building, home to the Moynihan Food Hall, recent additions at THE PENN DISTRICT include Blue Ribbon Sushi & Steak and upcoming spots like Roberta’s Pizza. 

“Whether they come to work, dine, or shop, New Yorkers can expect the highest quality across the district, which makes The Avra Group a natural leader as we continue building momentum as a premier dining destination,” said Ed Hogan, Executive Vice President for Retail Leasing at Vornado Realty Trust. Designed by Rockwell Group, the restaurant is set to open in Spring 2025.
