Vacca Grill & Lounge

In what was once a desolate industrial district, comes the next happening neighborhood to be discovered—Sherman Creek of Upper Manhattan. On a city block populated with garages, parking lots, and auto repair shops, rises the oasis that is VACCA Grill & Lounge, a new dining destination, the like of which has not been seen since the development of the meatpacking district.

VACCA is the fresh and innovative creation of entrepreneur and acclaimed fine artist Dario Oleaga, whose work has been featured in many solo and group exhibitions including the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Havana Bienal at Wilfredo Lam Contemporary Art Museum in Havana, Cuba, as well as in his native country, the Dominican Republic. Motivated by the desire to develop his community, he built Umbrella, on 202nd Street, and went on to develop several other popular venues, including Ambar Room, Serie 56, Umbrella, Guadalupe, Tette, Opus, Coral.
