PHILADELPHIA RESTAURANTS HIT NEW YORK


Stephen Starr, the Philadelphia über-restaurateur, is preparing to open outposts of two of his most successful concepts -- Morimoto and Buddakan -- in Manhattan, reports the New York Times in “With 420 New Seats to Fill, Restaurateur Banks on Buzz,” by Florence Fabrikant.


I can’t help but take a bit of offense at this line of Fabrikant’s: “Even in Philadelphia Mr. Starr’s restaurants have often been boldly fashioned by major designers like David Rockwell, Philippe Starck and Karim Rashid.”


Because, well, you know, everything is just so ugly and backwater down here.
