So after the building’s owner spent a reported $15 million converting the landmarked building into a viable retail space and leased 90 percent of the space, there is still a fear that a New York institution like Grimaldi’s will somehow destroy the peace and tranquility of 20th Street and 6th Avenue!

Slow-cooked foods like braised meats are typical.” Sounds a lot like the Golden Arches, right?

If we had all chosen corporate finance, hedge fund or portfolio management rather than the simple complications of culinary public service we could load our employees on the corporate jet and offer to host an attitude adjustment weekend in the Bahamas, Bermuda or Miami. Hope does spring eternal
