Pith (restaurant)

Pith was a four-seat supper club in New York City that was open from September 2015 until May 31, 2016.[1]

History

Pith was first opened in September 2015 by Columbia University student Jonah Reider in his dorm room. Reider, a native of Newton, Massachusetts,[2] has no culinary training but comes from a family that loves cooking.[3] Originally, Reider would regularly cook four-course meals for his friends there; these meals gained greater attention when the university newspaper (and, later, the New York Post) wrote about him.[4] Reider officially opened Pith later that month, and by the next month, reservations for it were booked for the rest of the year.[5] He later relocated the club to his off-campus apartment, and he hired United Talent Agency to represent him.[3] In April 2016, Reider's landlord emailed him to tell him that he would terminate Reider's lease on May 31, 2016.[1]
