My condolences to the Dorato family. I will always remember Fedora's nightly entrance at the old place, how the whole restaurant applauded for her as she opened her arms to embrace us. She was warm and kind, and created a true refuge where the castaways of the city could feel safe and at home.
She is missed by many.

At least Gabe has a nice tribute on his website.

R.I.P Fedora, a wonderful woman and a true nyc spirit. So glad I got to meet her. She will be deeply missed!
What a gracious and inspiring New York lady. I feel very blessed to have spent time in her company and in her delightful restaurant. I will always think of her as as the exemplar of life lived well and of aging beautifully. It seems that her exit was as elegant as her countless beloved entrances.
Rest in Peace, Mrs. Dorato.

Rest in Peace, Fedora.
