The Sanctuary Is Roosevelt Island's New Event Space And Restaurant At Former Dayspring Church, Hosting First Party September 30 For Queens Based Titan Theater Company - Prodigal Son TV Show Filming At Site Today

Reported last May that Hudson Related was about to announce:

... exciting news to come about the vacant Dayspring Church space in response to my question about rumors of a restaurant to open in the space. Mr Kramer expects an announcement this week about the Dayspring Church space which has been marketed as a restaurant/events space....

No additional news has been forthcoming from Hudson Related to date but a recent walk to the beautiful stone cottage shows that the time is near for something to open.



That time will be as soon as September 30, when newly named The Sanctuary, a Roosevelt Island event space and restaurant will host it's first party. A fundraiser for Queens based Titan Theater Company.

A tipster reports that the owner of The Sanctuary also owns the Coffeed chain of multiple locations including  LIC Landing next to the Hunters Point ferry dock and New Leaf  stone cottage restaurant in Fort Tryon Park which appears similar to The Sanctuary on Roosevelt Island. I am told that Roosevelt Island's The Sanctuary is a personal project of the owner and not part of the Coffeed  properties.

Stay tuned for more news to come about The Sanctuary including plans for future events, community outreach and opening of the restaurant.

Earlier today, the new TV series Prodigal Son was filming

at The Sancturay, portraying it as a Church

shelter

and soup kitchen.
