PS 35 seats 170 and the building was renovated to highlight the industrial style of the 1970s era structure. The design includes elements of iconic New York City public spaces, including subway tile, cement flooring, blackboards and a subway platform in the middle of the dining room. The restaurant is looking to bring street artists and muralists in to help create the décor features for the space.
“In New York City, public schools are referred to by a PS number, and since our pies and design are totally a tribute to that city, we took the naming convention and incorpated the 35 from our location off the interstate,” Christian Romero of SMGB said. “We can’t wait to share Chef Elmore’s dishes with Round Rock and for guests to come experience the food, music and fun at PS 35.”
