One of New York's hardest reservations is heading south. 4 Charles Prime Rib, the cult Greenwich Village steakhouse from restaurateur Brendan Sodikoff's Hogsalt Hospitality group, is set to take over the former Swan space at 90 NE 39th Street in the Design District — the room David Grutman and Pharrell Williams built, and one of the most desirable restaurant addresses in the neighborhood.
The New York original is famous for doing things its own way: no sign on the door, a seven-seat bar held for regulars, and a room that runs closer to a Sinatra-era supper club than a modern steakhouse. The signatures are the "King's Cut" prime rib and a legendary Wagyu cheeseburger, with serious martinis to match. Sodikoff is the same operator behind Chicago's Au Cheval, so the pedigree travels with the room.
No exact opening date has been announced — the target is a 2026 debut — but the signal is already clear: the Design District is now a legitimate steakhouse address, and 4 Charles picking up Swan's old room says plenty about both the operator's ambition and the neighborhood's pull.
Know before you go: 4 Charles Prime Rib, 90 NE 39th St, Miami (Design District). Opening date not yet announced; targeted for 2026.
