  • The Reservations There will be six seatings throughout the weekend that guests will have the opportunity to book for a three-course meal including food and beverage. 
  • The Food The menu, curated by Nicos owner and executive chef Gerardo Vázquez Lugo, will feature authentic dishes including lamb barbacoa fried taquitos, yucatan poached motuleño eggs, nixtamalized papaya melado, Nicos signature chile en nogada and more!
  • The Drinks What would an authentic celebration be without Mexico's original luxury tequila, Tequila Don Julio. Anyone (21 and up) can stop by on Friday and Saturday to sample the Tequila Don Julio portfolio, and those with reservations for the restaurant will enjoy craft cocktails perfectly paired with the Nicos menu, curated by Mexico City mixologist Ariana Ruiz.  
  • The Art Mexican artist Claudio Limon has taken over the exterior of the building with a custom mural for the weekend. Once inside, additional works by Claudio will be on display. 
  • No Reservation? What's Open to The Public? Anyone 21 years or older can stop by the pop-up from 12-4pm on Friday and Saturday to check out the art, learn more about Dia de Los Muertos, sample Tequila Don Julio and Mezcal Unión, pose for photos in the interactive portrait studio, and write postcards to friends.

"We're honored to bring Nicos to New York City and recreate some of our favorite Mexican dishes alongside specialty Tequila Don Julio cocktails," shares owner and executive chef Gerardo Vázquez Lugo, "I took over the restaurant from my parents in 1996 and have enjoyed carrying on their legacy, and can't wait to celebrate with our friends at Infatuation in New York during the ancient Dia de los Muertos holiday, a meaningful and authentic part of our culture."

Tickets for the restaurant reservations on Friday, Saturday and Sunday November 1st – 3rd are available through SplashThat. The pop-up is open to the public on Friday and Saturday, November 1st and 2nd from 12-4pm. Must be 21+ to attend. Please drink responsibly.

About Gerardo Vázquez Lugo, Owner and Executive Chef at Nicos
A native of Mexico City, Gerardo Vázquez Lugo is an architect by profession, but he abandoned his promising career to pursue his true passion: traditional Mexican cuisine. Vázquez Lugo inherited his love of cooking from his parents, Raymundo Vázquez and María Elena Lugo Zermeño, who opened their popular Mexico City restaurant, Nicos, in 1957.  He completed his culinary studies twenty-five years ago at the Institute of Culinary Culture (CUCUL), where he obtained honorable mention in the Diploma of Restaurant Management, under the tutelage of the renowned chefs Alicia Gironella and Giorgio De'Angeli, authors of the Larousse of Mexican Cuisine.  In 1996, Vázquez Lugo was named executive chef of Nicos, and since then, has worked alongside his mother to preserve Mexican heritage through traditional home cooking. 

Today, Nicos cuisine is attached to the precepts of the Slow Food world movement, of which Vázquez Lugo is one of its promoters in Mexico: a cleaner kitchen, socially responsible and above all fair and equitable.  Since 2015, Nicos has been named one of Latin America's "50 Best Restaurants."  In 2018, Vázquez Lugo and his mother celebrated the restaurant's 60th anniversary and received The Diners Club Lifetime Achievement Award 2018 for their joint contribution to Mexican cuisine. In 2019 Nicos is the number 31 on Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants list.
