As The New York Times reported this week, Brazilian-Jewish architect Isay Weinfeld will design the Four Seasons’ new home at 380 Park Avenue; Paul Goldberger, the Times’ former architecture critic and a consultant, recommended him.
The old Four Seasons will become home to a new hotspot from Major Food Group, whose eateries include uber-deli Sadelle’s. And the landlord is real-estate titan Aby Rosen, whose refusal to renew the Four Seasons’ lease sparked an uproar.
