New York City Wine & Food Festival: illy Push Button House

Italian coffee company, illy brought the innovative, beautiful, eco-friendly “Push Button House” caffè to New York City. With the push of a button, a standard industry shipping container transforms into a five-room home. It was created from recycled materials by architects Adam Kalkin and Andrea Illy. It provided a perfect space for coffee talks and interviewing some of todays greatest chefs such as Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Daniel Boulud, Alain Ducasse and Pierre Schaedelin. Truly a wonderful place to relax on Gansevoort Plaza in the Meatpacking District while enjoying an illy espresso of your choice for free. This should be here year round!
