Gitano Jungle Room

at The James

27 Grand St

The Gitano Jungle Room is a Yucatan-inspired boutique hotel venue in the heart of New York’s Soho district within The James, New York. Walking into the Jungle Room is like stepping into a bar in a rain forest, with vegetation next to practically every table and standing lights in the shape of palm trees. The basic design of the Jungle Room is colonial, minimalist, and opulent. 

The food is under the stewardship of head chef Yvan Lemoine, a man with an illustrious career working at a 2-star Michelin restaurant in the French city of Lyon before arriving the Gitano Jungle Room. Dishes on offer include Oaxacan truffle quesadillas, lamb ribs, pot roasted cauliflower, and seasonal tlayuda.
