We have some fantastic news to share with you. It gives us great pleasure to announce that we have met our crowdfunding goal and signed a lease on 374 Fulton Street, also known as Gage & Tollner. 

While there is a lot of work ahead, we think it's important to stop and savor this moment. We started dreaming about re-opening Gage & Tollner back in April 2017. It took 20 nerve-wracking months, but with your indispensable investment, the deal finally came together, and the place is finally ours — at least, for the next 20 years (15 years with a 5-year option). 

Personally, I've never been more excited by a project — nothing comes close. To be trusted with re-opening the (arguably) greatest restaurant in (arguably) the greatest city on earth is the most profound honor I've ever known. I don't have the words to express how incredibly grateful Ben, Sohui, and I for each and every investor — this wouldn't have happened without you. We will work our hardest to ensure that Gage & Tollner is the wild success that it is meant to be. 

There is much more news to come, and we'll keep you updated on our progress, leading up to our opening in fall 2019. Thank you so much for your support. Now let's build a chop house!

Yours, 

St. John, Ben, and Sohui

ps - There's still time for your friends and family to invest — tell them the raise closes on February 28!
