About The Artist's Room
Passersby often stop and glue their faces to the storefront window, nestled on the corner of East Houston and Ridge on the Lower East Side, excited and a bit confused. To the right is the gourmet kitchen of The Raging Skillet catering company, where chefs grill Moroccan shrimp, sauté bok choy and fry buttermilk chicken. To the left is an art gallery, tasting room and performance venue, The Artist's Room, where work from cutting-edge New York, Israeli and Provincetown artists is on display.About Rossi
