The Rainbow Room!

If you’ve never heard of the The Rainbow Room it’s a restaurant that sits on the 65th floor on top of the RCA building in New York City. The famous restaurant had opened for business during the Great Depression in 1934. And well, this depression has hit them hard and will be shutting down the restaurant, kind of ironic. Although the owners have decided to keep the bar, banquet hall and dinner-dancing area’s open, which should produce some revenue for them. The company that owns the restaurant, Cipriani International had stated that the decision was “due to the current economic crisis” and a lease dispute, I would say more of the economic problems more than anything else. Anyway, for the time being it looks like the big shots of NYC and around the world will need to find another ritzy place to eat.
