Several, such as Wolfgang Puck’s CUT at the Four Seasons and new Bourbon Steak at the Essex House, even sit in the hotels’ lobbies.New York City Hospitality Alliance executive director Andrew Rigie warned it would “essentially terminate countless leases and management agreements between third-party food and beverage companies and the hotels in which they operate.
Rigie said, “After we explained the threat to independently owned restaurants and bars in hotels, and their workers, amended it so they will remain open with absolutely no change to the way they have successfully operated for many years.”Menin rescheduled until an unspecified date in the fall a public hearing on the entire bill that was originally set for last week — which could have paved the way to a vote this month in the Council, where enough members were in support to make it law.
