The Russ & Daughters Cafe is going to happen

The appearance of a "Russ & Daughters Cafe" on the CB3/SLA's September docket stirred up plenty of interest ... though it was seemingly short-lived after the item was scratched from the agenda.

But!

At the Times today, Florence Fabricant reports that R&D plan to open a 65-seat restaurant in February at 127 Orchard St. "It will serve all their specialties, including items like blintzes and gefilte fish," per the Times.
