So, given this New York Times article excludes Sud as a possible name for Benno's new $20M restaurant at Lincoln Center, I thought I'd start a new thread.
I need to look at a map; I'm having a hard time figuring out where, exactly, this thing is being built.

On the north side of the Vivian Beaumont theater, fronting on (um) 67th street.

Okay, looking at THIS MAP, I see that it would front 65th, facing the W. Reade Theater.

It's really to the east of the Vivian Beaumont theater, to the north of the reflecting pool, "fronting" on 65th St.

The map clearly isn't accurate enough* - I don't see a reflecting pool anywhere.
* Or detailed enough.

You can't miss the restaurant in any event. Its roof is a huge sloping lawn.

This picture will show you where it is. (That's Avery Fisher Hall to the left and the Vivian Beaumont Theater to the far right, with the Metropolitan Opera behind in the center-right [and the New York State Theater -- or whatever they call it now -- peaking out to its left].)

Thanks for the picture, Sneak.
The whole place has been a construction site, seemingly forever.

Yes: you can see it from the far end (away from Bway) of the Alice Tully Hall lobby.

Maybe this guy? He's active in NYC social circles... David H. Koch and Luxist
His brother is the fellow who's been suing Hardy Rosenstock for allegedly selling him bogus, but expensive, wine.

I can only imagine the weight that the structure supports, especially after it rains.

Considering her worked for "per se," TBD wouldn't be a bad name. At least it will get attention. And I'm sure it could be in play with his name.
