I recently celebrated a friend's birthday at House of Moments, in the industrial loft district on Carlow Ave. It originally opened in May 2012 as a cavernous 12000 square-foot art gallery where the owner, an avid global art collector, could display his massive collection, including dozens of giant Buddhas from Thailand, Cambodia and India. The gallery also hosts a revolving art collection of select artists that changes every month. The giant loft space is thoughtfully carved up into intimate spaces by dividers - a series of hand-crafted 17th century doors from Jaipur and white flowing curtains. In August, the gallery also became a place to tantalize the taste buds with the opening of it's restaurant and lounge, specializing in Japanese-Middle Eastern fusion cuisine. The decor is rustic and decadent all at once. Nothing is spared in it's dedication to detail, down to the beautifully crafted servings of sushi, adorned in petals and twigs. A generous portion of food was just as appreciated.
Founded in the dingy industrial district, stepping into the warm glow of the House of Moments will awaken all your senses to the brink. Prepare yourself for an evening of magical moments.
