FOOD

FOOD was an artist-run restaurant in SoHo, Manhattan, New York. FOOD was founded by artists Carol Goodden, Tina Girouard and Gordon Matta-Clark. FOOD was considered one of the first important restaurants in SoHo.[1] Other individuals who were involved with FOOD included Suzanne Harris and Rachel Lew.[2] FOOD was a place where artists in SoHo, especially those who were later involved in Avalanche magazine and the Anarchitecture group, could meet and enjoy food together.[2] FOOD was considered to be both a business and an artistic "intervention in an urban setting."[2] It has also been called a "landmark that still resonates in the history and mythology of SoHo in the 1970s."[3]
