The 950 square foot interior of the made-to-order rice bowl shop will showcase the design work of Brooklyn-based Kamille Glenn, paying homage to vintage-inspired materials commonly found in Black-owned diners. The space will come with seating for 14 inside and 12 outside.
“FIELDTRIP is a community centered fast-casual serving better-for-you food at an affordable price point,” says chef JJ. “I can’t wait for Upper West Siders to experience the different cultures of rice from around the world, whether you want to take a trip to the Low Country or Caribbean, we have flavors, ingredients and techniques that will transport you there.”
