Tavern On The Green To Become More Touristy, Slightly Less Of A Trap
Tavern On The Green's new life: a snack bar/gift shop/visitor center. I can't help but wonder if having an episode of Newlyweds: Nick And Jessica shot there during that sorta-reality show's mid-'00s heyday was something of a hex on the place. Although is being a front for maps really all that worse than being saved by the glob of ego and hair-replacement products that is Donald Trump? ("It really is a special place. Only a person with a lot of money can rebuild and resurrect Tavern. And I have a lot of money," The Donald told the Times.) [Via / Pic via]
"I like green stuff. Money's green. I have lots of green money. Everything at the Green will be green. Try the steak."
or the Eggs & Ham.
DAMMIT. I'll never get to enjoy my cup of Folgers Crystals under the chandelier. or will I?

You know why they closed? Their Martinis were shit.
The Folgers Crystals thing worked because their coffee was shit anyway.
When I think of Tavern on the Green I always think of the CBS upfront party. Awful, awful food, weird layout, kind of a mess.
I remember a Bf, many many moons ago, on a birthday right after college took me there. We dined right after seeing Wicked. We'd taken the Acela up from DC and he kept smoking pot in the bathroom.
If it keeps him off the television, I support Donald Trump's mission to turn a failed restaurant into a Trump(c) failed restaurant.
