A cafe serving Asian and American cuisine is opening a fourth Manhattan location, Commercial Observer has learned.
Café Hestia, a group of family-run delis, has signed a 20-year, 8,000-square-foot lease at the base of the Feil Organization’s 570 Lexington Avenue, which it will likely also use as a catering facility, according to tenant broker Kassin Sabbagh Realty (KSR).
KSR did not immediately disclose the asking rent, but the average asking rent for the nearby retail corridor along Fifth Avenue from East 42nd to East 49th streets was $575 per square foot in the second quarter of 2026, according to a report from CBRE.
“Our strategy has remained focused on finding operators that create lasting value for our tenants and the surrounding neighborhood, and Café Hestia builds on that vision with its all-day dining concept and wide variety of offerings,” Jordan Goldblum, director of retail leasing at the Feil Organization, said in a statement.
Goldblum and Randall Briskin negotiated on behalf of the landlord in-house, while KSR’s Albert Manopla and Jack Khaski handled the deal for Café Hestia.
KSR did not immediately provide a comment.
Café Hestia’s other Manhattan locations are at 686 Third Avenue by Grand Central Terminal, 513 Seventh Avenue near Pennsylvania Station, and 80 Maiden Lane in the Financial District.
Other tenants in the 50-story landmarked skyscraper on Lexington Avenue, also known as the General Electric Building, include international litigation firm Wolf Popper, which signed a 13,400-square-foot lease in December 2025, as well as the Real Estate Board of New York, which has a 23,031-square-foot office.
