OWENS REALTY SERVICES WELCOMES PARK AVENUE TAVERN TO HANNIBAL SQUARE

Owens Realty Services executed the ten-year lease with New York-based restaurant group, In Good Company Hospitality (IGC Hospitality) in August of 2021. The team completed a full gut renovation of the 5,099 square foot space at 558 West New England in Winter Park, just a few blocks from the historical Park Avenue shopping and dining district in Hannibal Square. The space will be home to their new Park Ave Tavern, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with happy hour and weekend brunch service to follow.

The original location of Park Avenue Tavern is located in Midtown Manhattan and opened in 2010, just steps from Grand Central Station, and is a staple of the New York City dining scene. This second location in Winter Park is walking distance from Park Avenue’s landmark train station where both the SunRail and Amtrak trains run regularly, deepening the parallels between the two locations.

Park Avenue Tavern’s menu features New American style dishes that are all at once approachable, familiar, and comforting while still expertly prepared. The burgers at Park Avenue Tavern in Manhattan are well-known for being among the best, named Best Burger by The Wall Street Journal.

Designed by Dallago Associates Hospitality Designers, Park Avenue Tavern makes the most of its corner location, with a combination of indoor tables and booths surrounding a centerpiece bar, where craft cocktails and a sophisticated list of wines and beers will be available.

Additionally, outside seating will be available on the New England Ave. side of the street. The interior of Park Avenue Tavern is cozy and comfortable, with distressed red brick walls, dark wood, black lighting fixtures and upholstery, and green fabric accents, inviting guests to settle in and feel at home.

“When looking for a location for Park Ave Tavern, we couldn't have found a better home than Winter Park. We are excited to become friends with our new neighbors and be the light bulb at the end of the block that will always be on,” says Michael McCann, general manager of Park Avenue Tavern Winter Park.

The opening of Park Avenue Tavern marks IGC Hospitality’s second restaurant outside of New York City, after having opened The Wilson Cocktails & Seafood at the Meliá Orlando Celebration hotel last October.
