lena’s & havana 151
Yates Corner in Alexandria, VA operates a diverse collection of businesses, with two standout restaurants offering completely different experiences. Lena's, named as a tribute to Mr. Yates' mother, features an Italian theme with authentic food and a wood-burning pizza oven, while upstairs Havana 151 transports you to a Cuban-inspired space with incredible atmosphere, wonderful food, and authentic cocktails.
We took on the challenge of filming all seven different businesses at Yates Corner over three intensive days. While ambitious, the project turned out amazing, particularly our work capturing the unique character and offerings of both restaurants. The variety of businesses and atmospheres within one location made for compelling storytelling, allowing us to showcase how Yates Corner has created this distinctive multi-concept destination that brings together different culinary traditions and experiences under one roof.
