“One does not just watch a dance by Zvi Gotheiner. One enters a world with its own internal logic, a sensual, organic world of movement, language, and images where one is pulled along by currents unseen and inevitable.” – Dance Magazine

ZviDance, led by Artistic Director Zvi Gotheiner is praised for its signature innovative style and fascinating melding of artistic mediums. Radical, contemporary dance theater, their work is ground-breaking, thoughtful yet passionate, with lush movement. The company exists to share with audiences the choreographic vision and movement vocabulary of the Israeli-born Artistic Director. Each piece defines a unique set of relationships and experiences, boldly addressing the depths of the human experience. ZviDance also exists to engage students in enriching their appreciation of the art form.

ZviDance brings its audiences a passionate vision of community in a modern age. A collaborative alliance among artists, the company’s stirring work celebrates diversity by melding movement genres into the distinct dance vocabulary constantly evolving and refusing to succumb to dialectics of the medium. The company is shaped by a collaborative model of creation, involving the ensemble and designers from the initial research phase, so as to constantly push the methodology and ethics of a creation process within an inter-disciplinary format.

In the last 30 years of existence, ZviDance has received critical praise and stable funding for its artistic projects, a work that fearlessly refuses to be bounded to specific thematic or aesthetic dogma. The company performs frequently at home in such New York venues as the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), Joyce Theater, New York Live Arts and Lincoln Center Out-of-Doors. ZviDance has toured across North America to festivals such as Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival and The American Dance Festival, and abroad to Germany, Poland, Russia, Israel, Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador and Japan.

“Dr. Rupy is part of the new generation of physicians teaching people that food is medicine.”
— Dr. Mark Hyman, MD

In 2011, Dr. Aujla helped overcome his own medical problem by diving into the research and figuring out how lifestyle impacted his condition. He realized that patients could benefit from a doctor explaining the evidence-based benefits of healthy living, which is exactly what he does. Through a holistic view of the body and mind, combined with conventional medical practice, we can achieve great things.

Not only does he create delicious recipes on his website and social media channels including Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, Dr. Aujla also talks about the amazing clinical research behind the ingredients he uses.

He has two best-selling cookbooks published by Harper Collins: ‘The Doctor’s Kitchen’ and his second book ‘Eat to Beat Illness’; which was released in the United Kingdom in March 2019 and is soon to be released in the US in September this year, and quickly become a UK Sunday Times Bestseller.

Executive Chef Danny Brown serves globally inspired brasserie-style dishes with a marina flair, featuring fresh seafood, meat and vegetables with a focus on simplicity, accessibility and quality. The menu highlights three variations on tartare as well as tarts, sandwiches and burgers, and seasonal salads. The restaurant also boasts a standalone raw bar with an extensive menu that takes cues from the marina, including locally-sourced oysters from Long Island’s Peconic Bay.

Estuary has tapped James Beard Award-winning chef Francois Payard to serve as Culinary Director, who uses his decades of pastry experience to create inventive dessert selections. Among the highlights is a new take on large format and single-serve old-fashioned layered celebration cake, including playful twists on traditional favorites like White Chocolate Strawberry & Fruit Loops, Caramelia Milk Chocolate, Bittersweet Crunchy Chocolate and Old Fashion Brooklyn Cheese Cake.

A 28-seat U-shaped, wraparound cocktail bar serves aperitivos, local craft beer on tap, and classic cocktails showcasing Brooklyn craft distilleries and breweries. To supplement the bar offerings, Olivier Flosse’s curated wine list features 24 different labels to choose from, largely from France, Italy and the United States.

For park goers wanting to enjoy the outdoors, al fresco drinking and dining is available on Estuary’s private terrace, with stunning, panoramic views of the lower Manhattan skyline and the iconic Brooklyn Bridge.
