Pastis manager Nelly Moudime moves on

One top Pastis employee has found a new gig.

Nelly Moudime, the beautiful model and former Pastis manager who appeared in ads for 10 Cane rum and Uniqlo, will become director of creative services at Il Principe, a restaurant inside the new Hotel Hugo.

The Italian eatery will open in April in the lobby of the hotel at 525 Greenwich St. between Spring and Vandam Streets, owned by real estate developer Morris Moinian and his nephew, hotelier Matthew Moinian.

Il Principe will be run by Sean Largotta from Crown Group Hospitality, owners of Crown, The Lion, and Bill’s Food and Drink.

Pastis owner Keith McNally closed the Meatpacking favorite in January as the Ninth Avenue building it’s housed in will be demolished and redeveloped.

McNally plans to reopen next year in the same spot when construction is over.
