Nata
Born from the love of our heritage and a passion for authentic flavors, Nata brings a taste of Portugal to the bustling streets of the Big Apple. Nata is an homage to Lisboa. The mesmerizing colored tiles, the sound of the sea, the smell of fresh coffee in the morning, and of course, the first bite of a flaky nata. After living in NYC for 4 years, these were all things that our founder Manuel, Lisboa native, felt deep "saudade" for. "Saudade" is considered the most beautiful word in the Portuguese language, describing a feeling of desire, longing, melancholy.
Nata is born from that exact feeling. While Manuel missed the slow Lisboa moments, he felt inspired by the big apple. He spent three months in Portugal developing our recipe and after a year of hard work, Nata's first location opened right where Manuel's New York journey began––in the lively surroundings of Washington Square Park, at 11 Waverly Place.
At Nata, you'll find a flaky pastry with a creamy custard filling, freshly baked in front of your eyes––just like in Lisboa. We've created a grab-and-go experience to turn Lisboa's daily ritual into your perfect pause, suited for a busy New York lifestyle. We've developed unique beverage offerings to complement the Nata experience––think chai cold brew, matcha lemonade, and seasonal specials, providing a new experience each time you visit. Or if you prefer, stick to the classic with our Lisboa Combo, and enjoy a rich espresso, crafted with the finest beans from Portugal, paired with two natas and a sprinkle of cinnamon. We look forward to sharing a taste of Lisboa with you. Soon you'll see that one nata is not enough!

NeoLumin AI Consulting
NeoLumin AI Consulting is a practical AI solutions firm headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, helping small and mid-sized businesses and nonprofits turn AI curiosity into measurable operational impact. Founded in 2023 and led by MIT and NYU-educated co-founders with decades of combined experience in analytics, digital transformation, and engineering leadership, NeoLumin brings enterprise-grade AI practice to organizations typically underserved by large consultancies.
Our work spans four tightly integrated service lines: AI Development, AI Consulting, AI Training, and AI Speaking. Rather than splitting these across separate vendors, clients get strategy, build, and enablement in a single engagement. We design AI agents, automate complex workflows, advise leadership on high-impact AI opportunities, deliver corporate training on generative and multimodal AI, and speak at keynotes and executive forums on practical AI adoption.
What sets NeoLumin apart is our commitment to real business outcomes. We are solutions-agnostic, recommending the right tools for each client rather than pushing a preferred vendor. We communicate in plain English, not jargon. Clients work directly with senior principals, not a rotating bench of juniors. And ROI is a requirement, not a bonus.
Our CEO, Danica Tarin, is a LinkedIn Top AI Community Voice and serves on workforce development committees supporting AI adoption across Connecticut.

The very first step is to have a consultation (30 minutes). It's the best way to determine what your needs are in terms of your look and your wardrobe goals. From there, we go to closet inventory (minimum an hour). We want to make sure everything in there works, fits and makes sense. We especially don't want to purchase things you already have. Anything that you can't use we are going to give away to the Bowery Mission.
