SethG Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 And now Ko. Momofuku going the way of Rite Aid. Or just refocusing all their effort into CPGs, maybe. That’s where the money is, I guess… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Yes. Chang has done the chef thing and is moving into other revenue streams. Blame him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SethG Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) Well I must not know anything about retailing. Color me shocked that a store open a whole two to three days a week (when it wasn’t just randomly closed for the better part of a month to go on vacation or something) couldn’t survive.  Edited October 30, 2023 by SethG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Restaurants are really only good for losing money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the other fact, that most of that stuff - no one gives a shit about.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rozrapp Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Never been to Osteria Morini. However, we had lunch at Ristorante Morini on the UES several times. Excellent food, good service, and pleasing surroundings. It closed in 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 I went to Osteria Morini years ago. I walk past Marea quite a lot and it seems to be doing a good lunch business. (I don't walk past at night.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
small h Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 I had one meal at Osteria Morini, a long ago Christmas eve. It was fine. I never felt the need to return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
