Michael Solomonov and Steve Cook celebrate Dizengoff’s arrival in New York.

This Wednesday, Michael Solomonov and Steve Cook will open their first restaurant outside of Philadelphia. The dynamic duo are opening a branch of Dizengoff in Chelsea Market. The official opening is set for Wednesday, May 25th but Eater NY reports the hummusiya opened softly yesterday.

Dizengoff NYC has been named one of the 26 most exciting openings of spring, 2016 by Bloomberg Business and like its Philadelphia counterpart, it will be all about the hummus. The New York location will also offer Israeli wines and shakshouka all day everyday. The opening moves Dizengoff up a spot on our Fast Casual Tracker. An announcement of a third location might keep them climbing.

And to celebrate the opening Cook and Solomonov did this Rocky inspired video of the pair bringing their hummus and pita to New York.
