Museum patrons at 22-25 Jackson
Ave. have had the pleasure of dining at
M. Wells Dinette since it opened in 2012.
Quebec native chef Hugue Dufour and
his wife Sarah Obraitis ran the restaurant
and recalled the “festive and adventurous
run” they had over nearly seven years as
culinary residents.
“Our time at the Dinette was always excit-ing
and we couldn’t be more proud of what
we’ve done during our stay at MoMA PS1.
For the better part of this decade, we have
been like no other place on the planet. The
experiences will never be forgotten,” the
M. Wells Dinette team wrote in an online
statement.
The pair’s other venture, M. Wells Steak-house
at 43-15 Crescent St., remains open,
according to MoMA PS 1.
“Don’t be afraid, their acclaimed M. Wells
Steakhouse is just a few blocks away and will
continue to be a treasured part of our Long
Island City family,” said MoMA PS 1 on their
Facebook page.
