Fourteen years. And still in love with watching pe Fourteen years. And still in love with watching people gather at our tables.
#JacksWifeFredaBirthday

Fourteen years ago, we opened the doors of Jack’s Wife Freda on Lafayette Street with a simple dream: to create a place that felt like home — where strangers became family and a meal was more than just food.

A visit still carries that age-old New York joy of people-watching and turns a simple meal into something special. Guests come from all walks of life and from all over the world, sitting shoulder-to-shoulder in our cozy banquettes, sharing breakfast, lunch, brunch, cocktails, and dinner.

What began as a tribute to Dean’s grandmother Freda — her warmth, generosity, and hospitality — has grown into five locations across NYC. Each one holds a piece of our hearts, a reflection of our immigrant love story, and a love letter to the city.

Our incredible team is the heartbeat of this place and brings the magic every single day.
Our guests… thank you for showing up, growing with us, celebrating life with us, and making this place feel alive.

Here’s to the next chapter of this beautiful, delicious adventure. We’ll see you at the table.

With love,
Dean, Maya, Noam & Bennie
(And Freda — always here in spirit) ❤️
hope you had a restful holiday season ♥️🦋 hope you had a restful holiday season ♥️🦋

warmly, team jacks wife freda ☃️
happy new years and restful holiday season 🦜

“Look back and you’ll see mountains and valleys and footsteps that got you to where you stand. You’ll see changes and answered prayers and uncertainty and pain and promise and something that will make you want to turn around and walk the other way. You’ll see the answers to questions and questions to answers and thoughts that fall somewhere in between. Look back and you’ll see a thread of grace God has woven through what was and one you’ll see when you look ahead. This grace is not to be abused, but it is free. And you’ll need it every step of the way. Just like you’ll need love. And faith. And community. You’ll need to be reminded you aren’t done, but in many ways you have just begun. Look back when you need to, and move forward when you are ready. You are still here finding your way. Ahead will be mountains and valleys and pain and joy. You’ll see God and He will see you. You’ll grow. You always have been growing. You’ll change. Just like you’re changing now. And at night when the stars arrive and the quiet finds you, remember to exhale and look up. You’re right here, alive. And He is with you as He has always been.”
