Laser Wolf Brooklyn

What Laser Wolf Brooklyn does

Laser Wolf Brooklyn is a single-location Israeli rooftop restaurant operating as a shipudiya (skewer house) on the roof of The Hoxton, Williamsburg, at 97 Wythe Ave in Brooklyn, New York. The restaurant is a joint venture between Philadelphia-based CookNSolo, co-owned by James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Solomonov and Steve Cook, and Chicago-based Boka Restaurant Group, founded by Rob Katz and Kevin Boehm in 2002. It is the first NYC location for the Laser Wolf concept and the first collaboration between the two hospitality groups. The core offering is a dinner menu of Israeli cuisine built around a charcoal grill, including signature hummus, vegetable salatim, and meat and vegetable skewers, complemented by a cocktail program, with private events (minimum 9 guests) and weekend lunch as secondary revenue streams.

The business model is a direct-to-consumer, dine-in-only full-service restaurant with no delivery or takeout. Revenue is generated from three streams: food and beverage sales, private event bookings, and gift card sales. Reservations are managed exclusively through Resy and open 21 days in advance at 10AM; private events are booked through Tripleseat; gift cards are sold via CardFoundry. Marketing is limited to organic social media (Instagram, Facebook), a Mailchimp newsletter, and Resy as a booking-conversion channel. The kitchen is led by Executive Chef Andrew Henshaw (a Zahav alumnus) and Chef de Cuisine Mike Mayo. The restaurant is co-located with two sibling concepts — K'Far (ten floors below) and Jaffa Cocktail & Raw Bar — creating a multi-concept hospitality ecosystem within The Hoxton building.
