Join us at for a special five-course morel mushroom dinner marking the next chapter of our Understory residency.
In the wake of our closure, Understory continues the spirit of forest-driven cooking in a new home. This dinner centers on rare and wild morel mushrooms, showcased by Chef Juan Pajarito in a menu that explores depth, seasonality, and the flavors of the forest floor.
For this evening, longtime guests and local foragers Isaac and Meredith of Catskill Collectors are bringing an extraordinary fresh haul of wild New York ramps, harvested after years of dedicated sustainable foraging. Their ramps will be woven throughout the menu, paired with the morels in a way that feels immediate, grounded, and deeply tied to place.

Like the mushrooms that inspired us, this chapter was rare, fleeting, and deeply meaningful.
What began as a three-month pop-up - an open-ended experiment built around mushrooms - grew into something truly special. It became a space shaped by curiosity, creativity, and most of all, by the people who kept coming back.
Every visit, every shared plate, every late-night conversation at the bar helped turn this project into something far bigger than we ever imagined.
We are endlessly grateful for this community.
While this chapter is coming to a close, our love for mushroom-driven cooking - and for you - isn’t going anywhere! There is still so much to explore, and we’re excited to continue this work in new ways in the future.
But for now, our focus is on making these final weeks unforgettable.
We’ll be serving the dishes you love, hosting special moments, and celebrating everything that made Third Kingdom what it is. We hope you’ll join us, raise a glass with us, and help us close this chapter the way it deserves - together! ❤️🍄

Valentine’s Day at Third Kingdom is designed for couples who want something truly different - an intimate, immersive dinner meant to be shared slowly, course by course.
The menu explores mushrooms in unexpected ways, from hedgehog mushrooms with charred pineapple aguachile, to crimini mushroom toast with onion jam and miso–walnut purée, to oyster mushroom pipián and black rice paella layered with deep, earthy flavor. The evening ends on a decadent note with a black truffle chocolate lava cake.

For a brief moment each winter, chanterelles appear — luminous, aromatic, and fleeting. Then they’re gone.
On Monday, February 2, we continue our Rare Mushrooms Series, honoring this narrow winter window with an immersive five-course Winter Chanterelle Tasting Menu built entirely around one of the most coveted wild mushrooms on earth.
Winter chanterelles cannot be farmed, preserved, or substituted. Each one is harvested at peak conditions. Miss the moment, and it disappears for another year.
