The dispute over the iconic Bryant Park Grill restaurant centers on its owner, Michael Weinstein, who refuses to vacate the premises after losing a competitive bid process to Seaport Entertainment Group (SEG) backed by celebrity chef Jean Georges. Legal action has been initiated by Weinstein's company, alleging that the bidding process was manipulated. The lawsuit questions the legitimacy of the Bryant Park Corporation's decision, claiming it favored SEG with renovation funds not offered to others. This conflict raises broader issues of transparency and fairness in public space management.
This is a restaurant everybody loves, and we're frustrated that our response to the bid offer hasn't been genuinely considered.
The lawsuit alleges favoritism in the selection of Seaport Entertainment Group and claims it was a sham bidding process.
