Wren of the Woods

Wren of the Woods is a new American restaurant, bar, and local gathering place in Armonk, NY — a supply-constrained, affluent suburban market with close proximity to Livingston Farm's target guest base and the greater New York metro area.

The project reimagines a historic 1820s cottage into a 3,500 SF restaurant with 90 indoor seats and 144 total seats including outdoor dining. The site is fully entitled and construction-ready, enabling a fast path to operations while the Livingston Farm resort undergoes entitlement and development.

Menus center on seasonal, contemporary American cuisine — with ingredients sourced directly from Livingston Farm and other local organic producers. The restaurant is designed for strong throughput and repeat local demand, with an expected average check in the $65–$75 range supporting $4.0M in projected annual revenue at stabilization, generating a 10.1% EBITDA margin.

Beyond its standalone economics, Wren of the Woods is a critical demand and marketing engine for the platform. The restaurant is projected to generate 80,000 marketing impressions per year among a high-value clientele, with anticipated 8% conversion to resort bookings at Livingston Farm — driving meaningful incremental occupancy. The restaurant's estimated impact on the platform is an additional $2M in annual resort EBITDA and creation of approximately $30M in asset value.
