Pith was a four-seat supper clubinNew York City that was open from September 2015 until May 31, 2016.[1]
Pith was first opened in September 2015 by Columbia University student Jonah Reider in his dorm room in Hogan Hall.[2] Reider, a native of Newton, Massachusetts,[3] has no culinary training but comes from a family that loves cooking.[4] Originally, Reider would regularly cook four-course meals for his friends there; these meals gained greater attention when the university newspaper (and, later, the New York Post) wrote about him.[5] Reider officially opened Pith later that month, and by the next month, reservations for it were booked for the rest of the year.[6] He later relocated the club to his off-campus apartment, and he hired United Talent Agency to represent him.[4] In April 2016, Reider's landlord emailed him to tell him that he would terminate Reider's lease on May 31, 2016.[1]
