The Four Horsemen, the award-winning Williamsburg, Brooklyn wine bar co-founded by LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy, is planting a flag at Day Moon, the tiny Sunset bakery at 3928 Irving St. for a pop-up party on Monday, October 5. The event, with $15 tickets, sold out in less than 15 minutes. Food and drink is a la carte, and music will be provided by New York DJ Matt Cash. Non-ticket holders can come through after 8 p.m., but by that hour, the collectible 4H x Day Moon wine glasses may be gone.
Why is a James Beard-winning and Michelin-starred Brooklyn establishment partnering with an under-the-radar, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle-green bakery so small it could serve as a phone booth? “Day Moon is my happy place,” explained Four Horsemen managing director Amanda McMillan, who grew up in Arkansas with Day Moon owner Wendy Williams. “Their approach to food is so correct.”
Day Moon made the leap from farmer’s market to a permanent space in 2023. Since then, they’ve sold a lot of Linea Caffe and sesame focaccia sandwiches, but have largely shunned media coverage. (I’ve been rebuffed by Williams and her business partner Daniel White.) If not particularly open to reporters, they’re widely respected among restaurant industry workers and local businesses like HI NRG on Clement Street, which features sandwiches made on Day Moon baguettes.
The Four Horsemen, by contrast, is higher profile, from its rock star owner to its celebrity clientele. In July 2025, it spun off a sister restaurant called I Cavallini, which The New Yorker’s Helen Rosner called “a status restaurant.”
According to McMillan, there will be 50 of the Four Horsemen ham sandwiches for everyone who attends the Day Moon party once the 150 ticketed guests run through the flatbreads, salad, and sticky toffee pudding. That is, if you can manage to get in.
“They try to keep it small and neighborhoody,” McMillan said of the Day Moon team. “It’s so the opposite of New York in a lot of ways.”
