Any scoop on Carnelian Room Spot?

Just wondering if there will be a replacement soon. I love the view up there. Hope they don't turn it into someone's corporate office....

yes....WAAAAY sad....somebody MUST reopen a restaurant/bar there!!! my gosh, otherwise what a LOSS.
i feel SOOOO dumb now... i actually worked in that building on 39th flr, and never went up there...not even in the 4 years i lived here....guess i was part of the problem...no support for that place, not enough...BUT ARAMARK obviously didn't market/improve it well either, and i'm sure Bofa is charging RIDICULOUS rent!!!

Don't be too sad. Although it was a great location, it suffered from "Inverse View Law" -- the better the view, the worse the food. I've been taken to numerous business lunches there over the years and the food was mediocre at best. Also, it didn't _feel_ like a restaurant -- more like an executive boardroom with food.

BofA hasn't owned 555 Calfornia for many years -- so they're not the lessor.

Before they closed, they told us it might just stay empty.
