Wonder Bar leases at Woolworth Building

Manhattan, NY The Woolworth Building is adding another hospitality concept to its culinary lineup: Wonder Bar, an all-day café and natural wine bar, has signed a 1,114 s/f lease in the former five & dime space at 8 Park Place within the building.

Developed by the same team behind Goody’s — the French-inspired restaurant with a contemporary twist on dining, art, and culture, replacing the former Wooly’s restaurant by end of year — Wonder Bar is the next step in reawakening the landmark as a hub for hospitality and culture in downtown.

A collaboration between Woolworth owners Cammeby’s International and Witkoff, alongside Studio Castellano and Social Services, the new concept will energize a portion of the ground floor with a flexible, all-day format: fast-casual, grab-and-go breakfast and lunch options by day, and a wine-forward, intimate experience by night. Wonder Bar will fill a much-needed gap in the neighborhood— offering organic wines, wholesome small plates, and a relaxed, community-driven energy in one of New York’s most iconic buildings.

This new retail lease is another key step in the Woolworth Building’s thoughtful transformation — part of a larger effort to reintroduce this architectural icon as a downtown hub where history, hospitality, and innovation intersect. As Lower Manhattan continues to evolve into a thriving cultural corridor, Wonder Bar will bring revitalized F&B options to the building’s ground floor, complementing anchor tenant Goody’s and reinforcing Cammeby’s vision of Woolworth as more than a historic address, but a renewed destination for the city’s creative and professional communities alike.
