Inside Genesis House: Marilyn Monroe and an Elevated Dining Experience

Looking for your next cultural outing? Genesis House is currently home to Manifesting Marilyn: The Making of an Icon, an immersive exhibition celebrating one of Hollywood's most enduring icons. Pair your visit with dinner upstairs for an afternoon that blends culture and exceptional dining.

Step Inside Marilyn's World

Now on view, Manifesting Marilyn: The Making of an Icon offers an intimate look at Marilyn Monroe beyond the spotlight.

Rather than simply displaying memorabilia, the exhibition brings Marilyn's story to life through immersive moments. Pick up a vintage-style telephone to hear Marilyn's own voice reflect on her dreams and ambitions, then browse selections inspired by her personal library for a deeper look at the books and ideas that shaped her life.

Thoughtfully curated and beautifully designed, it's a fresh perspective on one of Hollywood's most recognizable figures.

Stay for Dinner

After exploring the exhibition, head upstairs to Genesis House Restaurant.

The contemporary Korean menu is reason enough to make a reservation, while the beverage program offers thoughtful pairings to complete the experience. For a nod to Marilyn, order The Centennial, where champagne and soju transform into a brilliant ruby hue. Prefer something alcohol-free? Before the Flash blends chamoe shrub, rice vinegar, and club soda into a refreshing zero-proof cocktail.

Together, the exhibition and restaurant make Genesis House one of Meatpacking's most distinctive experiences this summer.
