🥩 Porter House Bar & Grill: For 19 years, this Central Park–view steakhouse served iconic dishes to legends like Goldman Sachs’ Lloyd Blankfein & ex-Mayor Bloomberg. Mastery, reputation & celebrity sparkle 🌟 made it a true NYC institution. Its closing marks the end of an era 🕰️.
🍝 NeroLab Italian Food Zone: Opened April ’25 at Trump Organization’s 40 Wall Street, a massive 350-seat, 1950 sqm eatery, it closed just 2 months later citing “technical problems ⚡.” Flashy ambition without staying power proves that size & spectacle alone can’t survive NYC’s relentless dining scene 🌆.
Together, they remind us: NYC dining celebrates legacy 🏆, craftsmanship 🛠️ & staying power 💪 but can humble even the boldest newcomers.
