Manhatta is a restaurant by Union Square Hospitality Group, offering panoramic views of New York City from high above Lower Manhattan. Inspired by the people who make New York unique, the identity is built around a collection of illustrated portraits. Using expressive, imperfect linework, I focused on capturing personality rather than realism. Bold colors and playful compositions give each portrait a distinct character while creating a welcoming identity that feels unmistakably New York.
