Thanks to The Dominick’s lusciously decorated exterior views and El Ta’Koy’s fantastic food and drink menu, you’ll have a pretty hard time convincing people you didn’t pop into a Hawaiian resort for the weekend.
Instead, bring Hawaii to you this summer at El Ta’Koy at Terrace on 7. Located on the seventh floor of The Dominick Hotel, the restaurant not only boasts authentic succulent pig roast and frozen cocktails to surely quench any summer hankering, but it also delivers you to the island of Kauai itself with its canopied cabanas and a four-foot deep pool with a lifeguard on duty.
Kauai is special to El Ta’Koy, being where Chef Luis A. Pous first came up with the Hawaiian street food-inspired restaurant while he was opening a restaurant of his own on the island. There, he was able to discover the mixing of cultures found at farmers markets and food truck events, and found that the food was influenced by Polynesian culture in addition to Caribbean, North Latin and South American, European and East Asian cultures as well.
The melting pot was all apparent on June 29 when The Dominick hosted a special VIP summer launch event. El Ta’Koy kicked off the start of summer with a succulent pig roast, passed taquitos, tostadas and lumpias, churros to wrap up the evening, and, of course, tropical drinks like frozen Daiquaris and Margaritas.
Hotel guests and visitors alike can trade the sights and sounds of the city streets below with poolside spa treatments and festive rum and tiki-inspired libations. Visitors can also reserve a private cabana with seatting up to six people and with complimentary WiFi, mineral water and scented towels to use at the pool.
Summer at The Dominick in SoHo is known for El Ta’Koy at Terrace on 7 – a lushly landscaped indoor-outdoor restaurant complete with cabanas and poolside spa treatments that have guests feeling more like they’re at a resort than a sleek urban hotel.
There’s still a chance to visit The Dominick’s next luau, set to take place monthly throughout the summer. The next scheduled luaus are on July 26 and August 30, with additional summer events including Taco Tuesdays, Rum Flight Wednesdays, and Wine Tasting Thursdays.
