Rainbow Room to close restaurant, citing economy
Actually it's only the restaurant, the Rainbow Grill, that's closing. It's going to remain as a giant bar area. Still, it's a loss. It's one less place for the power elite to go to eat lunch and "be seen." People like Henry Kissinger and Sandy Weill have permanent tables there -- or they did. I wonder if they'll get their money back.
The Rainbow Room actually opened in 1934. Hard to believe that it was actually able to open and thrive during the Great Depression but not now. But if the Russian Tea Room could come back, why not the Rainbow Room? We shall see.
