The h.wood Group is bringing its Delilah supper club brand to New York—rebranded as Lady Delilah and set to open Fall 2026 at 351 W 14th Street in the Meatpacking District. The LA-based hospitality group, which has rolled out Delilah locations in Las Vegas, Miami, and Dallas since launching the concept in 2016, secured a 15-year lease for 10,000 square feet. Jason Greenstone of Cushman & Wakefield and Chris DeCrosta of GoodSpace brokered the deal.
Lady Delilah marks a departure from the original Delilah template. The New York iteration leans into a 1930s Art Deco aesthetic—vintage oak, tiled barrel ceilings, subterranean layout—designed to evoke the city's jazz-age nightlife. The footprint allocates 9,000 square feet to the main dining room, kitchen, private dining rooms, and a stage for nightly live music and dancers. It's experience-first hospitality: a supper club where the show matters as much as the menu.
The timing is deliberate. Lady Delilah debuts during Delilah's 10-year anniversary, and h.wood Group is leveraging that momentum to establish a beachhead in New York's increasingly competitive high-end dining scene. The Meatpacking District remains a magnet for experiential concepts, and a 15-year lease signals the group's confidence in long-term demand for immersive, entertainment-driven dining.
For operators watching this space: Lady Delilah is a bet that consumers will pay for atmosphere and entertainment bundled with dinner. The supper club format—live music, choreographed performances, designed interiors—demands higher check averages and operationally complex execution, but it also creates differentiation in a market where reservation scarcity drives buzz. Whether that model scales beyond h.wood Group's established brand halo remains to be seen, but the 15-year lease suggests they're not testing—they're committing.
