A Kith/Kin Alum Will Lead a Members-Only Restaurant Near the White House – Eater DC

Category: George Zimmerman

Martel Stone, a former executive sous chef at (now-closed) Afro-Caribbean fine dining destination Kith/Kin, will lead the kitchen for a new full-service restaurant and bar connected to the Gathering Spot, a private networking club for the progressive set that opened its original location in Atlanta five years ago. Located blocks from the White House at 1720 I Street NW, the Gathering Spot is scheduled to open Monday, March 15. At an American restaurant called the H, Stone will weave in influences from the African diaspora, his upbringing, and his travels. The H will be open to members and their guests only, but non-members can book its events space. Founders Ryan Wilson and TK Petersen say they were moved to start a club built around supporting the Black community when a Florida jury acquitted George Zimmerman of murder and manslaughter charges after he killed unarmed Black teenager Trayvon Martin.
