Case Study · Saint
East Village grit, glam, and late-night Energy.
A bi-level restaurant, bar, and speakeasy at 136 Second Avenue — produced with IMC Events for nights that move from dinner to downstairs pulse without losing polish.
The Brief
Saint actualizes the spirit of the East Village — art, architecture, and multicultural energy across a street-side café, chandelier dining room, secret garden, and a downstairs speakeasy that opens when the night deepens. The brief: protect that vaudeville revival while staging private events that feel electric, intimate, and unmistakably downtown.
IMC Events partnered on planning, design, entertainment, and production so hosts could stay with their guests — while floor flow, lighting cues, and late-night pacing landed on time. Grit upstairs. Glam below. Conversations that stretch.
