The Palm Trump International Hotel and Tower will be the luxury centerpiece building of the Palm Golden Mile, located on the trunk of the Palm Jumeirah. Shaped like an opening tulip, the gold condo-apartment hotel will have five hundred 1, 2, and 3 bedroom apartments and penthouses, each with a sea view and access to five-star amenities.

The development will also include a selection of high-end boutiques, fine dining, signature roof top restaurants, bars, swimming pools, and a luxurious spa and health club. The AED 1.46 billion (US$ 400 million) hotel will be the first joint venture between Al Nakheel and The Trump Organization, who's president and chairman is Donald Trump.

The design of the Trump International Hotel and Tower, The Palm Jumeirah was changed in April 2006. For information on its new design, visit the New Palm Trump Hotel and Tower.

Overheard at eater HQ today at approximately 4:09pm:

"Oh. My. God... Josh just IM'd me - Abbe Diaz mentioned David Chang! I think I'm going to plotz!"

"Slap it down, Ben. We'd better get a link up stat before someone comes down with a case of the yellow fever..."

Cut to fantasy three-way sequence:

Ben ties you up, plugs your ears and blindfolds you. He proceeds to beg DC:

"Please Please Please Pleeeease make me a "restaurant insider"... I'll do anything!"

"Here - shamelessly pimp my new online reservation system to your legion of B&T wannabes..."

Ben, on his knees, begins a familiar refain:

"We're not worthy! We're not worthy!"

"Don't worry, you're secret's safe with me. Now go untie Abbe and get back to work filling my seats..."

p.s. - I think Ben sweats you.

p.p.s. - I think he sweats DC more.

"... There was just one solution. Kill the threat. So BenBen dropped the froyo coverage for a bit and became an infantile gossip to out us - hoping the publicity would make us go away. He then let us know:

'for what it's worth, steele and i worked this one together, which is to say that it wasn't done willy-nilly.'

Well that's a relief. And you know we love teamwork. He then followed with some of the wisest words ever typed:

'anyway, it what it is. i just gave you more explanation that any one else gets, because you're a friend. don't do the blog if you can't be the guy.'

That's so sweet of you. Really we're touched...."




how fucking funny is that.

Overheard outside stall #3 in Morandi bathroom this morning:

"Marsha Marsha Marsha!!!"

p.s. - Sorry so creepy, but I really wasn't that far off, was I (reads: tag-team man-on-man action at Luche Libre-themed bar mitzvah VS. tag-team idol worship and humiliation at Asian-themed bar mitzvah)? What's next - David Chang and Angelo Sosa co-host a bondage-themed seder at La Nouvelle Justine but they don't invite Ben, Lock or that hipster guy?

Foodblogger Catfight: Eater vs. Down By the Hipster

The world of restaurants, be it chefs or food writers, has always been fantastically bitchy: remember Jeffrey Chodorow's taking out a ranty full-page ad in the Times in response to Frank Bruni's no-star review of his Kobe Club? Thank goodness it's continuing the grand tradition, even on the web. Yesterday Eater, the restaurant blog that's part of the Curbed Network (Curbed, Racked, Eater), published by former Gawker Lockhart Steele, posted a rumination on their competitor, Down By the Hipster. Yeah, they got a little catty! "[Blogger] Scott Solish isn't making money on DBTH, has a day job, and has begun to talk of such things as book deals and joint ventures...Are Down By the Hipster's best days behind us?" DBTH's equally snide response ("Lil' [Ben Leventhal of Eater] secretly seethed, desperate to know why anyone dared challenge his authority as the ultimate insider") was inevitable. We'd go so far to suggest that public bickering isn't becoming to either party, but we're glad they did: the exchange is this morning's guilty pleasure...

oh ! that hadn't even occurred to me.
obviously, when i guessed "david chang" i was kidding (but unfortunately Eater didn't realize that ? sorry dudes!)

somehow i don't get the impression Moneyman is talking about himself though.



question: can juan-jorge open SpiceMarket under Starwood, but still be free to open another juan-jorge concept under Trump ?? i.e. -- say a SpiceMarket at W, but a "J&Gsteakhouse" under Trump ??

huh.gif
