Moscow 57, the hospitality and entertainment company, was launched several years ago by partners Ellen Kaye, Seth Goldman and Ethan Fein. For the past two years, the company has been hosting its M57 Urban Salons, evenings of music, food and digital visual art displays, in Harlem; Washington Heights; Chelsea; the Upper East Side; the East Village; Governors Island; New Milford, Connecticut; and New Orleans.

Moscow 57 has made New Orleans a home away from home, with regular forays into that city's world-renowned culture of Southern hospitality, regional cuisine, and world-class entertainment. After performing at and co-producing events with New York's Corcho Wine Room, as well as celebrating Latin American culture in New Orleans, this cosmopolitan attitude is being brought to Moscow 57's permanent home on New York City's Lower East Side every night.

Moscow 57 Entertaining is developing projects for film, television and theater. Its music company produces podcasts, live performances, recordings and videos. Moscow 57's first CD releases have already garnered national radio airplay, and the company's videos can be seen on the Moscow 57 Entertaining YouTube channel. The company's M57 podcast will be streaming live on Sunday nights.

Moscow 57 Entertaining is producing The M57 On-Air Urban Salon, an eclectic mix of music and interviews hosted by partners Ellen Kaye and Seth Goldman with Ethan Fein as Musical Director and featuring the M57 Band, along with a variety of performances and interviews with guest artists from all aspects of contemporary culture including theater, film and television artists, visual artists, hospitality industry professionals, journalists, authors and more.
