Partner Wil Figueroa, owner of Now Boarding, designed the bar program, while Fellow overall is the brainchild of Philip Camino and Terry Tolba, known best for their work together at The Hudson and The Churchill. Camino is also a partner at Stout Burgers and Beers, and Earthbar.”

Achieving a Better Bacon-Cheddar-Burger-to-Falafel Balance
“Imagine an upbeat world of hand-painted, 30-foot ceilings concealing a cocktail mezzanine. A place where bacon-cheddar burgers and rock shrimp po’ boys peacefully coexist with black eyed pea falafels and Portobello sandwiches. You’ve essentially just conjured up Westwood’s Fellow restaurant. Neat trick.”
