Worn Out Wednesday – Evan Rosenberg

By

Today we speak to Evan Rosenberg, Partner, Atwood Kitchen & Bar Room.

I have lived in New York my whole life, calling Manhattan home for the past 10.  While in college for web design, I landed my first hospitality job with the Hudson & Royalton Hotels (Morgans Hotel Group), handling weekend marketing, promotions and DJ bookings.  It was there that I met my current business partner Dan Rieger, who shares the same passion for the bar and restaurant industry that I do.

From there my hospitality career took off, entering a nightlife startup company that connected customers to bars, restaurants and clubs around NYC. As the director of sales, I signed up 175 Manhattan and New Jersey based venues, which eventually led to my next job as the head of in-house marketing and promotions at Paige Hospitality Group. Fast forward three and a half years, at the age of 28 I contacted Dan and we decided the time had come for us to open our own venue. Atwood Kitchen & Bar Room was born.

My philosophy is that excellence in one area of life promotes excellence in all others. This is why I work so hard at creating a brand around everything I love. I try to incorporate fashion, design, social media, health, networking and fitness into all things Atwood.

As for my personal style, I try and be unique. I know the way that one dresses has an impact on the first impression someone has (better be a good one!) so I try and always ensure that what I wear gives off a great reflection to not only my employees but also the customers I deal with each and every day. 

Jeans: I am not a huge denim guy but I prefer Sevens (the Paxtyn cut) Skinny.

Shirts: White button downs are my go-to as they can be dressed up or down very easily. My favorite is a custom fitted button down, but for the relaxed feel I go with J. Crew or John Varvatos.   

Pants: Club Monaco is the best for functionality. They are a great every day pant that can easily be dressed up with a tucked in button down or sports coat.

Suits: Some of the best things in my closet are my custom suits.  It is not just about the suit but rather the experience I have creating it.  Windsor Custom is great with this.  To me, it is important to feel and touch each fabric and texture before I wear it. You can choose everything – buttons, stitching, lining etc and enjoy a cocktail while doing it.   VKNagrani is also a great company for suiting; they have a great hidden “lodge” over on East 77th street. 

Shoes:

Dress shoes: Paul Smith or John Varvatos wingtips, Duke & Dexter, Massimo Dutti Moccasins

Fitness/Training shoes: Nike & Asics

Comfort: Keds Champion Slip On

Best cheap hang out t-shirts, button downs, sweats: Uniqlo  

Hat: Atwood Trucker Hat

Bracelets: The Charming Bee, Trashness, Divine Heir

Watches: Panerai PAM 164 Luminor Marina (Black Face) with interchangeable watchbands.

 Glasses: Warby Parker

Jackets: John Varvatos, Ralph Lauren Diamond Quilted Vest, Leather Ralph Lauren Biker Jacket

Favorite Cologne: Bond No. 9 Bleeker Street

Your favorite App: Most used – Instagram.  Most helpful – Uber. 

Favorite piece of technology: My Prong phone case.  It allows me to charge my iPhone without a wire or while I am on the go.

Next tech purchase: I plan on purchasing about 8-9 TVs for the Bar Room at Atwood before September and a new iPhone for myself.

The duo also opted for a sand tonal hue and accents to resemble shipping tape for the perfect cardboard look. Now available via Doublet and Asics, the new sneaker retails for $225.

Municipal Store Opening

Mark Wahlberg has been one of Hollywood's most prominent and sought-after actors since he made waves in Boogie Nights. Since then, he has led comedies like Ted and The Other Guys and dramas like Four Brothers and The Departed. But he has been best known for being one of the top action stars in the business. From The Italian Job and Shooter to Lone Survivor and Mile 22, Wahlberg has proven himself to be one of the most capable in the game. A vital part of doing the job of an action star is getting in sensational shape. Now that he is seen as an incredibly fit leading man, he began helping others get in the same shape by launching a fitness brand. The new Municipal Flagship Store has a new home in San Diego and is bringing action star fitness to America's Finest City.
Bet on yourself

When Mark Wahlberg founded the brand in 2019 alongside Harry Arnett and Stephen Levinson, they brought fitness to the people of West Hollywood and globally online. The goal of Municipal has always been to offer the best clothing and shoes to people trying to be unstoppable all day long. The second store opening in Oceanside is bringing that goal to the southern part of the state along the beach. The store isn't just about clothing, shoes, and accessories. The new store will also feature a coffee shop for a post-workout pick-me-up, a haircut to ensure you look just as good above the neck as below, and a lounge to center yourself before and after the workout. With two stores under their belt, it is only a matter of time before they expand over more of the country.

Flag & Anthem outfits country legend with Desert Son
Dierks Bentley still wears his collection on stage six years later

There is a deep connection between country music lovers and other staples, like a good flannel, hats, tees, and the flag and national anthem. So when a country music star teams up with Flag & Anthem, it gets noticed. But most of the time, these collaborations are one-offs that fade out in a few months or a season. But the Flag & Anthem Desert Son collection with Dierks Bentley is still going strong six years later.

“Dierks’ lifestyle perfectly embodies our brand,” said Flag & Anthem co-founder Brad Gartman. “There is a strong synergy between his fans and our customers. We see Dierks and Desert Son as a natural integration with Flag & Anthem and look forward to a long partnership.” And a long partnership is what they got.
