Barista at Mogador at Kith Ivy

Be part of the opening team at Kith Ivy, a one-of-a-kind hospitality concept in New York City. This is a rare opportunity to join from day one, helping to shape the service culture and set the standard of excellence for a members-only experience that blends luxury, lifestyle, and sport.

Kith presents Kith Ivy, the brand’s ambitious entry into the hospitality sector, blending luxury, lifestyle, and sport into a unique members-only club experience.

Located within a private lobby at 120 Leroy Street where SoHo meets the West Village, Kith Ivy is designed to cater to a discerning clientele, offering a range of amenities that reflect both sophistication and comfort. The interior has been meticulously crafted to create a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels like an extension of the member’s home. With a design philosophy based around an upscale, comfortable sense of community, there are various spaces including the pro shop with exclusive merchandise, dining areas, a smoothie bar, a wellness center, and rooftop padel courts.

This endeavor wouldn’t be possible without a suite of partners who are innovators in their fields. For the dining space, Kith partners with Café Mogador, a New York City staple, to bring a new, upscale menu and service featuring classics and new perspectives on Moroccan-inspired Mediterranean cuisine. The interior features vintage-sourced Persian rugs that add warmth and character to the space, rich, dark rosewood accents complemented by plush seating arrangements, and a color palette of various shades of green and burgundy, enhancing the inviting atmosphere. A central fireplace serves as a focal point, surrounded by bookshelves filled with curated literature and objects, further contributing to the home-like feel.

Kith Ivy is proud to host the first Erewhon tonic bar outside of Los Angeles. The design embraces a sleek, contemporary aesthetic with clean lines and a minimalist approach. Non-members, within a select radius of the club in Manhattan, can purchase Erewhon smoothies and juices from Kith Ivy in limited quantities exclusively via the Postmates and Uber Eats apps.
