THE TEAM
Co-owners/operators Hannah Wong and Sarah Jane (SJ) McLaughlin—seasoned hospitality professionals who met opening The Aviary in 2022—bring together decades of experience from acclaimed NYC kitchens and Hudson Valley restaurants to create this deeply personal dining project rooted in an eclectic culinary vision and warm, effortless hospitality.
THE FOOD
An untraditional menu inspired by Hannah’s multi-hyphenate background as a Korean-Chinese-American passionate about Southeast Asian flavors, diasporic influences, and Hudson Valley ingredients. The menu highlights locally sourced product when possible, and ranges from bar snacks and small plates to larger entrees, most of which are encouraged to be shared. There are always multiple gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options.
THE NAME
Hippocampus haema is the scientific identification of the wild Korean seahorse. It is also a close homonym for the Icelandic word heima, which means “at home.” HAEMA is simultaneously a nod to Hannah’s heritage and the restaurant’s foremost desire for guests to feel like they are being welcomed home.
