hotsnack: that chef opening that restaurant
A post on last month's closing of Cafe Gray made a parenthetical reference to where some of Gray's staff may likely wind up. It mentioned a former Le Cirque chef, opening a place in the flatiron sometime in July. Word on the street says chef Alain Allegretti is indeed doing a turn-key deal on a restaurant on 22nd Street off Fifth Avenue and hopes to open his eponymous restaurant in mid-July. Bastille Day peut-être ?

Did this closing already opened a new door? It's quite sometime since this post, care to update with what happened after and looks like your staff made their own fortune...so lucky indeed.
