Summer Subway Series  

Join us beginning Wednesday, June 18th, as Metropolis by Marcus Samuelsson and Executive Chef Sherry Cardoso launch a weekly Subway Series on the terrace, taking place every Wednesday evening throughout the summer.

Designed to celebrate the season and the city’s culinary talent, the Subway Series offers a platform for celebrated BIPOC chefs without brick and mortar restaurants to showcase their diverse cuisines to Metropolis guests alongside the full terrace menu. 

JULY 9 | CHRISTIAN MARCANO

CHEF DE CUISINE AT METROPOLIS BY MARCUS SAMUELSSON

Chef Christian Marcano, a Bronx native of Puerto Rican descent, began his culinary journey at 14 as a busboy at a local bistro. Though he hadn’t planned to work in restaurants, covering a shift led to a free dinner for his family – a moment that sparked his passion for the industry. Over the years, he worked in a range of kitchens, from diners to Michelin-starred and vegan restaurants, gaining experience in both front and back of house. In 2020, during the height of the pandemic, Christian was diagnosed with Stage 2 cancer and faced serious challenges. Still, his resilience led him to start Empanada Eleven, selling to friends and neighbors to make ends meet. A batch made for his cousin’s restaurant staff impressed the owner, and Christian’s story was soon featured in Eater, celebrating his journey. Today, he is healthy, cancer-free, and working to make his dream of launching an empanada food truck a reality.

JULY 16 | MONIQUE CADAVONA 

MAMAGUAVA NYC

Chef Monique Cadavona, a Hawaii-born chef of Filipino descent, brings the vibrant flavors of Hawaii to New York City through her culinary ventures, Mama Guava NYC and Kalihi. Drawing inspiration from her upbringing in a large Filipino family and the diverse cultures of Honolulu, where food was a central element of connection, Monique developed a deep appreciation for cooking from a young age. Her culinary offerings include dishes like mussel poke tacos and black bean lobster pancit, reflecting her commitment to sharing the soul of Hawaii cuisine with a broader audience.

JULY 23 | NICK AND KAREN HARTANO

WAWAHS

Nick and Karen Hartano are the culinary team behind Wawahs, a Chino-Latino pop-up inspired by their shared heritage and extensive experience in Michelin-starred kitchens. Meeting as line cooks in New York, they combined their talents and cultural backgrounds to craft a menu that blends Chinese and Latin flavors with a modern twist. As regular vendors at Queens Night Market, Nick and Karen are passionate about celebrating their fusion cuisine and serving their community through vibrant, flavorful meals.
