NYCxDesign | Harlem Self Guided Journeys Contento Restaurant

At 88 East 111th Street sits Contento, one of the city’s newest restaurant gems. Apart from warm, contemporary décor with black nailhead trim chairs, an exposed brick wall, and the much-raved-about Peruvian-with-an international-sensibility menu—the New York Times, Esquire, The Infatuation, and others, listed it on their “best of” restaurants for 2021—you’ll love Contento because it is one of the few truly inclusive restaurants in the city. Due to spinal cord injuries, two of Contento’s co-founders are paraplegic, and so have created a space where people with disabilities can feel at home. In the 36-seater dining room, higher tabletops and a split-level bar counter form a wide aisle, all of which are designed to comfortably accommodate wheelchairs. Consideration for wheelchair-bound patrons is also reflected in spacious touchless bathrooms with sinks and toilets positioned lower for easier access. Adaptive stainless-steel utensils are available upon request for those with a neurological condition and menus are available both in braille, and with a QR code that can read the menu to a patron with affected sight.
