Morton's, Other Big Chains Coming to Downtown

Yesterday the Daily News published a story about a mystery high-end steakhouse taking space in the ground floor of the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge (top photo), but the restaurant’s identity wasn’t a mystery for all that long. Morton’s signed a lease for a whopping 14,500 square feet of space at the hotel, according to a press release published on CNN Money, and expects to open its 295-seat restaurant in late 2008. Doesn’t seem like the steakhouse could ever challenge Luger’s supremacy in Brooklyn (even after the Times demoted the old-school spot to two stars), but it’ll probably fit in just fine Downtown, which is increasingly drawing the national chain gang. Even more interesting (to us, anyway) was the news that Barneys, Apple, The Gap and Banana Republic have all expressed interest in taking space next door to the Marriott, in a city-owned building on Adams Street. We can only assume that the building in question is 345 Adams Street (bottom photo).

“I go there twice a month. The service (for the most part) is lousy with a capital L, but I deal with it because I like to save money.”
Then shut the f**k up and deal with the crapy service, or stay out of there. Problem solved.
12:37 “give me a Pottery Barn”? Grow up! Only babies go there. go gooo blog blah!
“You seem to know quite a bit about the place. If it’s so bad, why do you go there? Or are you relying on heresay?”

“I don’t think the developers would put those names out there to then end up with mcd’s, old navy and burlington coat factory in the end.”
Because developers are so very honest?
Those TEENAGER’s that Target prefers to staff their customer service arm with are paid minimum wage.
I don’t think they’re lazy because their black, I think they just don’t give a fuck. Period. They are making minimum wage in a store that serves a shit-load of people, selling discounted goods.
If you want good customer service, shop at a high-end store, where the service is a part of their branding.
“Are you denying that the Atlantic Center Target has a lot of awful employees?
Regardless of ethnicity of the workers or customers, the service there is BEYOND LOUSY.”

Jeez, people. A Hooter’s would be so much better than another high-priced trashy mall steakhouse. And FYI, Hooter’s offers a “kids eat free all day” option, so all those Brooklyn DILFs are covered.

The people in line suck too, but that’s most of NYC.
i’ll take a rude customer service rep over an anonymous coward spitting hateful venom anyday.
