The Twenty Two's first stop outside London has landed just off Union Square, and it's brought its clubby confidence with it. The setting is the landmarked Margaret Louisa Home, a Romanesque Revival building put up in 1891 as lodgings for the city's working women, now reinvented with art deco bars and candlelit corners. The rooms lean into a British American mash up, think floral wall tapestries, mosaic tiled floors and plush beds piled with oversize mohair blankets. Downstairs, Café Zaffri trades London's oysters and Champagne for modern Levantine plates under a stained glass ceiling and gilded floral wallpaper. A confident New York debut that still feels unmistakably Twenty Two.
