A New Private Wine Store for The Sutton Place Hotel (Shop Talk)

A NEW PRIVATE WINE STORE FOR THE SUTTON PLACE HOTEL
(October 21, 2007)

A great place to sleep it off…

Did you forget that The Sutton Place Hotel had plans to operate its own private wine store? After public announcements made last year, talk about the project appeared to have been sidelined while the hotel’s developers contended with various city permit and construction hurdles (some of them concerning the public sidewalk which physically bordered the shop's foundation area). Like many others in similar circumstances, these set backs to the target completion date resulted in longer delays than usual thanks to the city’s civic workers strike.

However, it would appear that the wine shop will be open soon -- perhaps in only a couple of weeks. We’ll soon have more details about this update as well.

UPDATE: The store has announced a soft opening for early November, 2007 and will celebrate with an opening day party (by invitation only) on November 15, 2007)
