Why Tenjune is called Tenjune

Tenjune
Mark Birnbaum is a figure that everyone from celebrities to regular partygoers associate with a fun night out in New York City.  He is the cofounder of EMM Group, one of the biggest hospitality fixtures in New York since its launch in2006.

EMM Group has become one of New York’s biggest management companies through the work of Mark Birnbaum , Eugene Remm and the entrepreneur Michael Hirtenstein. After years of exceeding standards, they have become leaders in the scene. Their initial nightlife endeavor was “Tenjune” which is a club in the middle of the Meatpacking District and one of the most desirable locations for many celebrities and fun loving party goers.

They also brought another expansion in 2009 into the hotel-lounge industry as The Chandelier Room at the W Hoboken Hotel. Mark Birnbaum and his business associates unveiled a newer addition from their mushrooming portfolio and it was Abe & Arthur’s, a restaurant near a boutique nightclub SL on W 14th Street. All their establishments are top-class and the excitement level found there is very unbelievable.

Incidentally Tenjune got its name because both Mark and Eugene have birthdays on June 10. When they celebrate it, you know everyone's having a blast.

US Weekly profiles Mark Birnbaum and Eugene Remm

Mark Birnbaum and  Eugene Remm have been friends for a long time, and business partners for years. They have done a lot between opening Manhattan's Tenjune and the lounge SL, have also recently opened Abe & Arthur's restaurant in the Meatpacking District. This also gives them more time to work out. Remm says, “People focus so much on spending money on clothes. If they went to the gym instead, their clothes would fit three times better than paying for some random expensive designer.”

Little known fact: Mark Birnbaum owns a rare pair of Converse, designed, and even signed by John Varvatos himself. “He made four pairs, and I got one of them. They’re like an art piece, so I put them in a glass display case,” he says.
