Hotspots: Lexington Social House Hollywood

Lexington Social House Hollywood

Lexington Social is one of L.A.'s trendiest new restaurant / bar / nightclub hangouts. By their own description: The social house concept was born from the idea of the perfect dinner party. Intriguing guests mingle over handcrafted food and drinks while high design and high energy come together to create the perfect evening out. Conversation is the centerpiece at this table!

For decades, Hollywood & Vine has been known as the epicenter of Hollywood culture where colors, trends, preferences and art meld seamlessly together to create a masterpiece of an experience. The design of Lexington has followed this recipe to create an environment where old textures blend with contemporary art and design, from classic Queen Anne chairs with five legs to modern stick figure art displayed throughout the space. At Lexington, the lines between food and décor design are blurred.

While the interiors of Lexington offer guests multiple dining experiences from an intimate dinner for two to a more social experience with dining at the carrara marble bar, the exterior offers an entirely different evening out. Truly a gathering place, the garden patio is an outdoor room with an indoor vibe, complete with cocktail seating, a fireplace, tree canopies and its own bar. At Lexington Social House the art of lounging is a simply a matter of taste.

The design of Lexington (by Schoos Design) has followed this recipe to create an environment where old textures blend with contemporary art and design, from classic Queen Anne chairs with five legs to modern stick figure art displayed throughout the space created and hand painted by Thomas Schoos.

Teqa New York

Teqa is a new taqueria and tequila bar in Manhattan's Murray Hill neighbourhood.

About: Teqa fills a void in Murray Hill’s restaurant and nightlife scene by melding a modern menu and design sensibilities with a traditional spirit. An unparalleled liquor selection meets an exquisitely crafted menu by acclaimed chef Lisa Schoen. Interior designer Lesly Zamor (Seed NY) has deftly mixed a fluid floor plan with striking décor. That design was given life through the brilliant construction work of Strictly Structural, who ensured every last handcrafted detail was inspired by the cultures that shaped the 500-year-long history of tequila.


Murray Hill is a vibrant and youthful neighborhood with an energy that can barely be contained in its blocks. Blending creativity and drive, the people who live and work within its blocks are the key influencers of tomorrow. Until recently, the area was serviced by traditional bars and pubs with few upscale offerings and very little Mexican fare. Teqa fills that void by a melding modern menu and design sensibilities with a traditional spirit.

Translating the vibrancy and flavor of the design to the menu, Teqa’s enlisted Executive Chef, Lisa Schoen to create a presentation of modern and traditional Mexican cuisine that draws from influences around the globe. Chef Shoen is the personal chef to Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees, former Executive Chef for Saturday Night Live and has worked as a food stylist for celebrity chefs including Emeril Lagasse, Mario Batali, Paula Dean, Lidia Bastianich and Katie Lee. In addition, Chef Schoen has worked for the past twelve years for Food Network on television programs such as Iron Chef and Throwdown With Bobby Flay and was also a finalist on Food Network’s Chopped.

Teqa’s tables rival the beauty of its chandeliers. Built from wood local to the Guadalajara region of Mexico and accented by brass molding, these tables are finely carved by expert craftsmen.

The mastermind behind Teqa, Derek Axelrod, comes from a line of successful entrepreneurs and cut his teeth early. He helped craft highly successful campaigns for his families company, French Connection. As head of the product placement division, Mr. Axelrod was responsible for outfitting celebrities in French Connection apparel. It was a position that he excelled at and it helped shape his unique approach to public relations. Since that time he has acquired, expanded, and built a number of restaurants. His vision for Teqa is a neighborhood bar and restaurant that can be expanded to other locations that embody the same creative energy and hip spirit found in Murray Hill.
