Former mayor-cum-enterprising restaurateur
Richard Riordan is a bit of a tricky Dick, it seems. Another notch in
his expanding resto-empire, the final incarnation of the Village Pantry
caused a bit of ruckus among Palisaders, who not only mourned the loss
of their beloved Mort’s Deli but were anticipating a similar homage to
cured meats and casual dining in its stead. The B-L-D menu of $10
omelettes and duck cassoulet, along with an executive chef who’s worked
stints at Michael’s and Water Grill, are decidedly upscale, despite an
offering of matzo ball soup here and a pastrami sandwich there. Perhaps
the Oak Room, the adjoining bar, would be the best place for peace
talks.
