I was assured that the walls would be restored just as they were.<br /><br />My father's picture was on the right wall above the door going to the second dining room. It has been there since 1937. He had Thanksgiving upstairs with the Ganzi and Bozzi families. <br /><br />Sad that it would be gone.<br /><br />Palm, 827 Second Avenue.

It improved for the most part and rehired a lot of the laid off staff.<br />As for the original Palm, my Dad's image was put on the wall in the Al era. Warren Buffett came in that night, coicidentally, to eat.<br />I ate there since the Bruno days in the 1980s. It was marvelous.<br />This is poignant for me.<br />Why do restaurants say they are just renovating and then close down?Jaredhttp://jaredthenyctourguide.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-23057337047593412512015-06-11T22:55:39.904-04:002015-06-11T22:55:39.904-04:00Jeez, the rumor is troubling stuff.

In the last couple of weeks I've walked past the Palm several times, and each time I stop to look in the windows to check out the walls. <br /><br />My son and I go out for steaks a couple of times a year and recently I mentioned to him that we should drop by the Palm when it reopens. Sadly, he may never have the experience of eating at the Palm.<br /><br />Sadly I didn't jump fast enough after hearing Gallagher's was closing, so he never got to eat a steak there. <br /><br />Where's Jackie Gleason when you need him?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-75394922800113426072015-06-11T14:26:36.814-04:002015-06-11T14:26:36.814-04:00Al was a gentleman & a scholar.

He ran a tight ship and, as a loyal customer, I was always treated with first class service from him and all the wait staff and chefs.

He/she supported it for however long whenever and that's all that counts. Have you? I doubt you've gone there within the past year.
