Got around to visiting Zaytinya which I’ve passed by a bunch of times in the past. The first time I got their cucumber mint drink, the cheese pide (a flatbread with Turkish tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and Greek oregano) and the adana kebab. The second time around I got their shish taouk (a grilled chicken skewer, sumac, onions, garlic toum, grilled tomatoes) and the beef soutizoukakia (cumin spiced meatballs in tomato sauce scented with cinnamon, feta, and capers). I do want to try their dessert menu the next time I’m there.

Esse é o Zaytinya, o novo restaurante no Hotel Ritz-Carlton em NoMad, Manhattan, NYC. O projeto do escritório do Grupo Rockwell, foi inspirado na cozinha mediterrânea do chefe responsável pela casa, José Andrés. Tons neutros contrastam com o azul das mesas, um pé direito privilegiado foi ainda mais enaltecido com as incríveis luminárias e o painel de circular. .

For my second version of the photo journal assignment, I went stuck with the “It must be high or low” theme of our group photo essay. However, I decided to use this theme to showcase the quiet before the storm of a restaurant opening its doors. 

My favorite picture, out of all the ten, is the featured picture/the fourth picture in the series. The picture shows the final product of an hour of work into setting up a seating section of a restaurant. With a large depth of field, the viewer’s eyes get further drawn to the interior of the restaurant. The location of this photoset is none other than Jose Andres’s Zaytinya restaurant in Chinatown. This restaurant has been a neighborhood staple for the past thirteen years, and has the ability to serve an easy 1000 guests a day.

Because of having such a high volume of guests per night, Zaytinya is meant to be a large, open space to make the guests feel as if they’re not being sardined with each other. The semicircular arch creates great acoustics for keeping excess noise to a minimum while giving the restaurant a pleasant and relaxing aesthetic. The use of a horizontal angle for the fourth picture of the series gives the photograph a sense of calm and relaxation--which is the state of the restaurant prior to the beginning of service. 

The common traits shared between the other pictures in the series will be: horizontal-pointing up angles; angular white walls within the shots; medium to large depth of fields; and my favorite, all were taken on my lovely iPhone 6.
