Four Seasons Restaurant, NYC Power Lunch Center, to Close: NYT

The Four Seasons Restaurant in Manhattan, the Midtown restaurant that defined the power lunch, will close less than a year after it reopened in a new location, the New York Times reported. Tuesday’s lunch is expected to be its last.

The restaurant, which opened in its original Seagram Building location in 1959 and whose regulars included Home Depot founder Ken Langone and Blackstone’s Steve Schwarzman, left its first home in 2016 when the building’s owner declined to renew its lease. A nostalgia-soaked 15-hour auction for the fixtures totaled $4.1 million, with chairs fetching more than $3,000 each.
