Stonyfield Café will be located at the northwestern end of the Chelsea Piers complex. The northern face of the café will have an old-fashioned walk-up dairy bar for frozen yogurt, Stonyfield frozen yogurt novelty bars, parfaits and smoothies. The Café also boasts scenic views of the Hudson River and Greenway, which can be enjoyed from a second floor space that is also available for private events.
"Stonyfield and Chelsea Piers share the same healthy lifestyle values," commented Tom A. Bernstein, President, Chelsea Piers. "There couldn’t be a better location for the first Stonyfield Café in NYC and we are thrilled to join forces."
The Chelsea Piers Sports & Entertainment Complex is a 28-acre sports village built on four historic Hudson River piers. Chelsea Piers features two indoor ice rinks, a state-of-the-art golf driving range, a world-class gymnastics center, indoor playing fields and basketball courts, a 40-lane bowling center, the world’s most comprehensive sports and fitness center, restaurants, sports pro shops, Manhattan’s largest film and television production center, the most extensive marina in the city, dozens of nationally-acclaimed teachers and coaches, 1-mile public esplanade, and a landscaped waterside park.
Stonyfield Café is an environmentally committed organic and natural quick serve restaurant created by two pioneering companies in the world of healthy food for a healthy planet: Stonyfield Farm and O’Naturals. Gary Hirshberg, Stonyfield’s CE-Yo is the founder of O’Naturals. O’Naturals first opened in May, 2001 in Falmouth, Maine, and was rebranded as the Stonyfield Café in 2010. Gary came up with the idea for O’Naturals during family road trips with his wife, Meg, and three “little yogurt eaters” from feeling like a hostage to the world of junk food. His vision was to provide families with delicious, quick natural and organic meals in a comfortable setting, served by staff that was passionate about the food they were serving.
